Please Join and post what speakers you have - Page 47

Few of my friends told me it sounds like rubish and I wasted my money, I think it sounds great.

Here is what I have:

Krix Neuphonix (In a room that is 6 Metres x 5 Meters)
Rotel RC-1070
Rotel RB-1070

Im a complete newbie to this kind of equipment. Can anyone give me any tips on avioding damage to my speakers. Also, I'm not really certain on what sort of volume levels are safe for movies.

I've never hear of this brand - any pictures? or website with more info?

I have Usher 602's up front, Usher 603 as my center and moved my old B&W CM10's to the rears.

If you've never auditioned Usher speakers, visit their website and find your nearest dealer.

Even their under $400 bookshelves are a revelation...I tested them against all the major British and American brands and these Italian Designed/Built In Taiwan speakers are amazing.

The build quality puts B&W to shame.

Have a Velodyne SPL1000 sub that I rarely use now because the Ushers have as much bass as I need.

Just upgraded from an Onkyo 6.1 HTIB set of speakers.

Keeping the Onkyo AVR and the Onkyo sub, I have upgraded the Fronts/Center/Surrounds to:

Definitive Technology:
Front L/R Mains: SM450
Center: PC2000
Rear L/C/R Surrounds: BP1.2x's

Very pleased with my upgrade, next will be a hunt for a new sub, once the next bout of upgrade-itis hits.

Front-Mirage OMD28 Rosewood
Center-Mirage OMDC2 Rosewood
Rear-Mirage OMDR
Sub-Mirage Prestige S10

I also have a 606, just copped a pair of RTi 7's Polk from Crutchfield...working on the suroounds, i am replacing a set of JVC f7tx speakers I've had for 9 years...Can I demote those to rear surrounds or save them for a zone 2?

My dedicated theater room..7.1

4 TSB 5.5's for surrounds and rear (rears set with THX placement)
2 TSBL 6.5's for fronts
1 TC2 center
(All of the above speakers are from The Speaker Company).

A Harman-Kardon computer speaker set for my laptop.

All three rooms get direct tv service and have assorted dvd upscalers, super VHS and dvd recorders.

Last speakers to mention are the Pioneer CS-G 203's. They are in storage. I didn't add the odd assortment of functional but sorry speakers from thrown away systems.

I've never met a speaker I wanted to throw out.

I have Klipsch Heresy mains
Klipsch KLF C7 Center
Klipsch KSW sub
and Klipsch SS.1 surrounds, powered by Pioneer Elite VSX 92TXH.

The game room, mostly PS3 and videos for the teenage boys:

Bose 10.2 Series II main
Advent Center Channel
Boston Acoustics Towers surround
Infinity Servo Sub powered by Denon AVR 1609

I am just starting out. I got the opportunity to pick up a pair of Usher V-604s at a good price, I should get those Friday of this week. Still need an amp to drive them. Just bought a used set of Boston Acoustics HD-7, need to refoam them before I can use them. Those will go on my computer speaker system.

Antique speaker system here.
I hope to upgrade later this year but, for now:

Infinity Kappa 6.1 fronts
Matching Infinity center
Fosgate dipole surrounds and
a very old AR sub about the size of a Volkswagen

driven by a Pioneer Elite SC-05
My "theater" is only 10` wide by 12` deep so I don`t need monster speakers.
I also don`t want to go to tiny satellites.Definitive Mythos STs are looking good for now, but I`ll probably change my mind by tomorrow.

Just completed my first home theater set up. Upgraded from a klipsch promedia 5.1 pc-in-a-box set up.


Denon avr-888
Energy RC Series Rosenut Finish
Front RC-30's
Center RC-LCR
Rear RC-10's
Monoprice 12 AWG wire and banan plugs

Due to space limitations, here is my setup (6.1):

Front LRC is a Paradigm Millenia 20 Trio


Rear Sides are Paradigm Cinema ADPs


Rear Center is a Paradigm Cinema CC


Subwoofer is a Paradigm PDR-10 (the older style - like the one pictured)

I'm a new member so be easy.
System, Sony 4400 ES
My speakers are Klipsch XL23 LCR, two surround Klipsch CDT 5650 flush mounts and a Klipsch Synergy 650Watt 12" subwoofer.
My newest addition are the XL23 LCR, I just received them a couple of days ago. I watched a movie and listen to music through these babies and they sound excellent. Very happy with this set up. I am looking for some outside speakers to hang under the eves, any suggestions would be great. I keep this short for my first post. Looking forward to being a active member. Thanks J.r.

Right now I have just a 2 channel system.Just sold my HT speakers.Still using the receiver in stereo mode.Speakers are vintage ESS AMT 1b with the Heil midrange/tweeter.

I just bought the Paradigm Signature S8s with the C5 center channel and already have the 15" servo sub. I'll hook them up tomorrow.

I alos have a pair of JBL L110 currently not in use. Not sure what im going to do with them.

HT monitor audio studio 20sec front 12i c 4i rears, been looking for studio center for 10yrs to match fronts with no luck.

upstairs totem forest, cary pre, cary monoblocks , turntable


love the speakers

thanks

I'm currently powering JBL Studio L830's with an LC1 center channel. For my surrounds, I have Boston Bravo II's....I really like them, they mount beautifully in corners and sound great. For my sub, I'm running an old JBL PB10 (it works fine for now, but have been keeping my eyes peeled for a JBL L8400 to replace it). I have a Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K now, but bought the SC-07....going to arrive Monday. For my needs, this all works well today. Bought the SC-07 because I got it for less than $1k, and hope to make use of it's more powerful features in due time.

Front LR: Mirage M1
Front C: JMLab Chorus
Rear: Triad Silver Omni
Sub: Meridian M1500
(Meridian 565 and Adcom amps)

ALTEC LANSING before they sissied out and went all computer

model 100 mains and model 66 center.

I thought I'd join in the fun, and post the new additions to my ikkle family here !

Front End: Kef Ref 205/2's, 204/2C centre, 2 x Fathom F112's juiced by Rotel 1575 & 1562 7 channel combo.

Also 3005SE's in the bedroom, and Mission 73's for the PC room.

One very happy Kef owner here.

^ do you live in the future???

rockin setup man!

Nicest looking speaer wire, terminals and plugs I have ever seen. Where did you buy them?

Cheers matey ! Future living all the way !

Hi mate. The terminals are standard on the Kef Ref's (with the plastic protectors). They are pretty nice aren't they ?!

The cable is Chord Odyssey 4 which I got from these guys:

http://www.futureshop.co.uk/chord-od...le-p-1128.html

Great service/price and speedy delivery. I'm a bit uneducated as to Chord Cable availability in the U.S though ?

Hope this helps !

Looks great. Thanks for the info.

i'd love to hear that !

Fronts- Energy Take TWR- x @ 60
Center- Energy Take FPS- x @ 80
Rears- Energy Take FPS- x @ 100
Sub- Outlaw Audio LFM-1 EX - LFE @ 120
Receiver- Onkyo TX-SR606

Really pleased with this set-up. I initially used Audyssey to configure the system, but in my opinion there was too much going on thru the rears and sub, and not enough base coming from the mains due to high (100) X over that Audyssey set. I re-configured the x overs and level matched all the speakers, and am very happy with the results. Nice bass extension up front, the sub goes deep when it should, but is more discrete the rest of the time. The rears are more subtle, and don't overwhelm the experience.

The rest of the system includes:

Pioneer 6020FD
PS3
Dish Network 722
Harmony One remote

Yamaha HTR-6190B - 7.1 A/V Receiver
Totem Sttaf Floorstanders (fronts)
Totem Mite-T Centre Channel
Totem Mite Bookshelfs (rears)
Revolver Rebel Red Turntable with Grado Reference Platinum Cartridge
Marantz TT15S1 Turntable with Clearaudio Virtuoso Cartridge
Tonar Vinyline 4189 Phonostage (MC/MM capable)
PS3 - 60GB (for BD and DVD viewing)
Panasonic Plasma 42" TH-42PX75U

Working on getting a separate 2-channel amp this year, but most likely next as I'm in the market for a higher-end unit and maybe tubes. Also looking at a better phono stage...we'll see.
