My other hobby :-)

Nice system, I have an now old set-up of an Onkyo receiver and Monitor speakers with SVS sub, wish I could build a mega system tho.

Loving AWOLNATION too

Edit, Sorry for quality…

i only got into it a couple years ago and quickly discovered its a hobby that is limitless!!! iv spent £400+ just on cable!!! awolnation is awesome :bigsmile:

ps… i would love a couple of svs subs but wayyyyy out of my price range!!!

Calling 2100, where ur Danly sub & set-up… :bigsmile:

Thats a pretty nice stereo for a kitchen :wink:

lol thanks :slight_smile: its certainly not cheap but i could have spent sooo much more on it!!! i was going to put a sub under the kitchen units where the plinth is but i cant get one to fit without lifting all the units by an inch…. maybe one day when i have the time to do it :bigsmile:

If youve spent £400+ on cables then an SVS sub cant be out of your range unless theyve gone up considerably?

Ill try and add my set-up to my first post……

i have yes but that was over 2 years of putting it all together :slight_smile: i think a good svs now would be around a £1000 :open_mouth:

that sub is a BEAST!!! i see you also have a better cam than me!!! haha love the look of those monitor floorstanders :bigsmile:

SVS actually sent me a MUCH larger sub by mistake, I had it for a couple of days before they sent a courier to swap. The other sub was insane, it made my eyeballs vibrate when I played the beginning of the film ‘300’ on it lol

But selling my Monitor Audio speakers and musical fidelity amps when I hit hard times is one of them, now i have no way of ever replacing them, unless i win big on the lottery!!!

Jeansy, ady dont ever sell! (unless upgrading!)

Great set-ups both of you

Hey Ady,

I’ve been an audio equipment dealer before…I’d suggest you experiment with the placement of your main speakers…in your

video it seems the front speakers’ backsides are not equally distant from the front wall, among other things… it can make or

break the sound of your system. Happy listening…

yeah im a bit stuck with that because of the shape of the room…. something always has to make things hard when getting set up!!! lol

Very nice setup.

Do your neighbors hate you ?

yes!!! the neighbour hates me very much!!

Nice setup’s :slight_smile:

My system is just 2ch. Here’s a few pics.
The speakers are ATC PA-65’s. They are active. I feed them with a Matrix Quattro Dac which has a built in preamp/volume control. The cd player is a fairly old Arcam Fmj Cd33.

Here’s one with the grille removed

The Dac and cd player along with the ATC CA2 pre amp before i sold it after i bought the Dac.

This was my previous setup. I had a pair of ATC scm50asl’s and a JL Audio F112 sub.
I sold the 50’s and sub and bought my girlfriends engagement ring and then bought the PA-65’s second hand.

Cheers
Matt

Very nice stereo systems!

I feel a bit under powered, but like what I have.

I have B&W DM602S3’s and a B&W ASW650 sub running off a Denon AVR3805. Also have 3 wall mounted dipolar Mission surround speakers (7.1) and a B&W CC6 S2 center. I use Straight Wire cables in(Silver Surfer for the fronts).

I remember years ago going to audition a few CD players - Naim, and Meridian. Started listening to the Arcam one I already had, for reference. Came back home & my wife asked how much I’d spent.

I told her it would cost £100k at least, and explained that the player I had was fine, but the shape of the room was lousy - we’d have to move house to get a decent improvement.

Oddly enough, we’re still in the same house.

Yeah the room has a massive influence on the overall sound. I’d like to do some acoustic treatment eventually, but it would have to be all hidden behind paintings hanging in various places on the walls.
