My corner of heaven - Page 3

Thank you for the nice compliment on my setup.

Yes the mighty Logans with subs are capable of some serious SPL's. But although they can play very loud, I rarely push them that hard. But I feel good in knowing they can handle it though.

My neighbors would probably not like me very well if I had some that lived in close proximity. Fortunately all my neighbors are pretty far away from me which makes it nice.

I would love to post a video clip but I currently do not own a video camera. I do plan on getting a nice HD camera soon though.

Hi Frank,

Yes it's definitely nice to not have neighbors too close.

Thanks for the kind words on my setup.

Thanks guys. That means a lot.

Re the upcoming universal Denon player, it's now scheduled to be available in the April/May time frame. I was really hoping to have one by now, but it looks like I'll have to wait just a bit longer. In usual Denon fashion, they raised the msrp on the player. It was already set at $4200 (which is what I thought to be the official price), now they have upped it to $4500!

From its original MSRP of $3800 in Decemeber, it has now gone up $700 in just 2 1/2 months. I'm still getting one, but I have to say that if Denon raises the price yet again I'll just have to say no.

Re the amps, the 5 channel Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature is powering all the Logans (with the two mains being bi-wired). The 5 channel Sonance amp is powering all the Paradigm Mini Monitors.

Right now I am super happy with the sound. But if at some point my Sunfire decides to go south on me, I will most likely go with McIntosh as it is also an excellent match for Martin Logans.


Seth

Thank you. I feel honored that you think so highly of my setup, and that me and my system gave you inspiration.

Yes, a lot of the owners on the AVP/POA Wiki site have some truly amazing systems. It's now 84 members strong and continuously growing.

I think you have done an outstanding job with your setup as well. Many will no doubt want to have their cable management as clean and organized as yours. Evey time I see what you have done I'm like "wow".


Seth

Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you.

Well "hopefully" the Denon DVD-A1UDCI Universal Blu-ray player will finally be available next month. And while I had already purchased some Audioquest Columbia XLR cables with 48v DBS battery packs, I went ahead and bought some DBS upgrades for them. I changed out the stock 48v DBS with 72v DBS packs.

Now the only thing left to do is run the 65 foot CAT6 cable, that will connect the Denon player to my Belkin N1 Vision router. It's going to be very cool to be able to update the players firmware via the players GUI, and not have to download and burn a CD on my PC (like I'm currently having to do with my Denon 2500BTCI).







Seth

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for the kind words.

Well after wanting this player for some time, It's now going to be a reality. My order for one has been placed and hopefully by the end of this month I will have it. Mine will be from the second batch that is due to be released the third week of this month. I'm really jazzed about getting it!

Once it arrives I share some pics of the player and my impressions of it. Stay tuned.


Seth

Thank you.

I will definitely post an in depth review once I get a chance to really put it through its paces.

Hi Frank!

Well hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have mine. Two weeks is going to seem like forever.

Hi there my friend.

Thank you for the kind words, it put a smile on my face. And no need to apologize for not replying, we all get busy sometimes. It's cool, I totally understand.

Re your cable management, it really is very impressive. Having that many cables being as well arranged and organized as yours is something that many would love to achieve. I try to keep all my cables and power cords as neat as possible, but after seeing what you've done, mine still has room for improvement.

As for my soon to arrive Denon A1UD MOAP universal, yes I have formulated a game plan. There are 3 components that will be removed once the A1 gets installed. My beloved Sony CDP-XA20ES CD player, Yamaha S2300 SACD/DVD-A player, and Sony S300 Blu-ray player. I am going to keep my current Denon 2500BTCI in the AV rack as a dedicated region B player. It's currently region A but once I get the A1 I'm going to convert it to a region B.

So the way it will be arranged is the A1UDCI will be at the very top of the AV rack, with the 2500BTCI right below it, then the AVP below that.

And that will pretty much be the way my setup will remain for awhile. About the only other thing I am planning on doing is getting some wall treatments put in, hopefully by the end of the year.

And come next year, most likely it'll be a plan of super sizing! I may just go for it and put in a front projector and 120" drop down screen. Nothing certain yet, but I am thinking about it.


Seth

Yeah I can imagine just how much better it will sound once I get it done. And I think that it sounds really great right now, so it will be interesting to hear the transformation.
