I decided to upgrade again. Sold the CS1 and monitor 50's and bought a CS2 and monitor 70's, and sold the older onkyo and bought a rc270. Now I am looking for an amp.
I kept the monitor 30's as surrounds.














Went from 2 5.25's on each tower to 4 6.5's, and the center went from 5.25's to 6.5's. Big upgrade.

This crap dwarfs the TV....think it is time to go bigger on that too.

I guess I can finally had something to the mix.

Polk Monitor 70s up front, Polk R50s in the rear, HSU VTF-2 MK3 behind it all.

And if anyone else can think of a better way to set up this room, I'm all ears. There's a sliding door on one side and it's completely open on the other, so it's a real bear to work with.

looking to sell

this is a thread for ht pictures...there is a seperate thread to sell a/v equipment

What model of Denon receiver do you have? Just curious. Nice setup!

This is ridiculous. I love it!

Its the 3310, and thanks! I moved in not too long ago, so it's still a work in progress. I'm trying to figure out how I can rearrange the room, but I can't come up with anything. There's so much dirt/dust around the area, and the dog brings so much of it in. Makes for a nice dirt coating on all the components

hey my name is Eric and I was hoping I could tap into your knowledge base... I wanted to add a little budget boom to my apartment and snagged these sony tower speakers of craigslist for $25, problem is I don't know the model They appear to resemble the SS-F6000's but the finish and domes are different colors. Just looking for some help. PS the pics are not my apartment, they're from the previous owners. Thanks in advance for any help you guys provide.

The one idea I could think of would be to search something like "sony tower speakers" in google images, and see if any look like yours.

Ya, that's exactly how I came up with the SS-F600 guess. Nothing that came up had the same cheesy finish. I suppose for $25 I'll live with the mystery.

he's got a couple of marathon 5050 amps and a denon 5308 receiver, you don't need that much power with pro audio

REALLY AWESOME, I"ll bring the beer. WOW, nice set-up, wish I were there.

I have a 2310 driving a diva swan system. It's my 3rd Denon in the last decade and just love it. Before my 2310 I made a mistake and tried a budget Yamaha. That lasted for about a week. The one thing I miss are available pre outs, but the 2310 seems to handle the Swans fine, even the 4 ohm surrounds.

well the last time i was on hear i did not have nearly as much stuff as i do now

well to start off in the home theater world i have

42 inch Westinghouse 1080p 120hz lcd-led tv

MB, do you have a full res pic on SUB1 plateamp? Thanks

Here is the original photo: DSC_6883.jpg

Thanks MB. You have the best collection of pics on Paradigm.

These are not the best photos, but I wanted stop putting this off.

Here is a view of the TV (LG 46LD550), the Pioneer 920 and the front three, which are two P162's and a PC350.


The BIC V1220 sub is in the corner. My lovely wife, who plays string bass did the subwoofer crawl and that turned out to be the optimal place for it.



The rear surrounds are P162's also, given the layout of the room, it was hard to get them both in a photo. Here is a photo of one of them in the corner.


Finally, here is a side view of our TV stand. Believe it or not, we bought it at Hobby Lobby. My wife wanted a TV stand that was not your traditional looking TV stand. We found this and I have to say it works fantastically. We had to cut a hole in the back for the cables, but other than that, it came from the store ready to go.

It holds the TV at a perfect height, it has plenty of storage space, holds all the components we have and it gives the receiver lots of ventilation room. And at $120 on sale it was a bargain.

The den is mainly home theater and some two channel duty. The mains are Klipsch Jubilee 2-way custom built in African mahogany at the Klipsch factory in Hope Arkansas.



The subwoofer is behind the curtain. It is a Danly DTS-10 dual 12" tapped sub horn. Here is a pic from the other room. The sub is the big box at the back of the rooml. I veneered it in Macassar ebony.

The livingroom is a dedicated 2-channel rig. The speakers are DIY from baltic birch and MDF veneered in sapele pommele. The drivers are JBL 2235H woofer, JBL 077 tweeter and Altec 802-8G driver on a 511B horn.

All very, very nice!

Still acquiring and upgrading components, but for now I possess:

Monitor: Samsung LN40A530
Receiver: Sony STR-DG500
Fronts: Sony SS-B3000
Center: Sony SS-CN5000
Surrounds: Unknown brand/model (acquired from a friend when he upgraded)
Media Player: Sony PS3, Sony PS2

The Sony STR-DG500 is on loan from a friend who isn't using it. I intend on picking up a Denon AVR-1910 as the deals one can find on that Receiver are insane. (under $400 for a fully upscaling receiver that can convert analog to digital for output on one HDMI cable...I'll take one please!)

The Surrounds I believe to be White Van speakers. A friend of mine bought them from some dude, then gave them to me after I helped him set up his Home Theater compoments. I didn't really want them, but I needed surrounds so they are being used until I can get the SS-B1000's to match my other speakers. They work, so I'm okay until I put the order through.

I now intend to start the process of researching subwoofers to find the one I want to add to my setup. The SS-B3000's I bought have some pretty decent bass, so I'm not in a big hurry on this. I can take my time to find just the right sub woofer for my needs.

This setup makes me look like a Sony fanboy. I'm not really. I AM a Sony fanboy when it comes to videogames, but for electronics, I just go for Bang-for-buck since I don't have a ton of money to spend on this stuff, thus the SS-B series speakers (some of the cheapest speakers you can find that have decent sound).

Very nice Leng Jai.

Mirages all around... OMD 15 fronts, OMD c1 center, OMD5 rears

Great beer.

Focus Audio FP80se

^^^ thats a nice clean looking setup! whats the rest of the room like?

Well over here in Melbourne Australia I have gone pretty well all Monitor Audio for my 9.1 system. GS60's for fronts GS10's for front highs, GSLCR for center driver,, and four GS'FX's for rears and sides with an 18" Velodyne CHT for the bottom end. Display is either a 63" Samsung Plasma 63000 series or a 110" motorised Screen fired up with a Benq WS6000 PJ. Power to the speakers is via a Denon 4311 as a preamp then into a Theatron T7 200 power amp, the rears are directly driven off the Denon though.
