post #2941 of 3186
Hello. Just joined this site, I used it for reference when I constructed my home cinema room 5 years ago (which was knocked down last week) to build an extension to move my father in law to move in This week the builders are in to start work on my new room. I was running a marrantz amp with the Kef KHT 1005 speakers in a room that was 16 foot by 8 foot. The new room is 17 foot by 11 foot so I am looking to move up to 7.1. I need to be able to walk past the side surrounds so was looking at adding a pair of Kef (because I have been pleased with what I have had) T101 would this be a good idea?

I am thinking of upgrading to one of the Onkyo units as I am probably going to instal the Optima HD33 and have a bit of 3D action.

Stewart,
You pose this question in the wrong are in my opinion....
You'll get much better thread contributions elsewhere, either down below or better yet in the Audio Theory and Set-Up area.

Good luck

Here are some pics of the Definitive XTR-50's and Supercube 6000 that I recently installed. The cabinet was fitted with a false wall to match and the TV is hung via a Samsung picture mount. I am digging the upgrade.

You've got it. Individuals always want impact, and many aren't familiar with where "impact" lies. That system has got some impact.

Nice looking rig there. Any further comments on the eD mains? MF/HF smoothness, extension, capability?

Thanks

Polk Audio CS2 Series II
HSU VTF2-Mk3 (on a GRAMMA)
Apple TV 2
2011 Mac mini
2009 Mac Pro (media server, not pictured)

The PS3 you see on the floor was returned (boo physical media!) but I may get an inexpensive BluRay player in the near future. I also bought some thinner and more flexible HDMI cables from MonoPrice so I'm going to re-cable the components this weekend. Surrounds will come later after I remodel the second floor and get everything built in.

I followed batpig's guide to setting up my receiver and ran the Audyssey MultiEQ XT setup, but would appreciate any tips that could improve the sound of my system. It sounds great to me since I don't have a point of reference. =)

Gourgues set ups

Main: Kef XQ40 L/R, Kef XC50c Center, Kef IQ10 Heights, and B&W 616 in ceiling surrounds. Velodyne Optimum 12 sub. Onkyo TX-NR1008 AVR with Denon BDP 2010ci. Need an OPPO as the Denon won't do SACD or DVD-A, where my old non bluray player did SACDs.

Second: B&W 685 L/C/R and B&W 618 in ceiling surrounds. Def Tech Powerfield 1500 sub. Denon AVR 4010ci and Samsung 7900? Blu-Ray player with dual HDMI. Also have Yamaha two way 6.5"/1" outdoor speakers by the pool on zone 2.

Thanks. I'm sure most people here consider it garbage for it cost me $3.5K ( AUS ) 7.2 and an RXV-667 receiver so I'm very happy with it.

I'm going to upgrade my receiver eventually because I listen to movies at -10db and it's probably pushing the limits of the receiver.

My last speakers were yamaha as well. Bought them when I was 15 years old while working at Mcdonalds. $1600 for the pair.

This is the new ones vs the older ( smaller ) ones.

Mains


Surrounds ( x4 )


Centre


Sub ( x2 )

Salk Songtower RAAL, SongCenter RAAL, SongSurround I & Energy RC-R for rear surrounds.

More pics here - same link in my sig.

gregdpw - I see we have a pretty similar setup, I've owned both the Monitor's and the Studio's - both great for HT. Very clean and simple setup I love the look. How are you liking the VTF-15H? The Hsu's have made movie watching so much more fun!

disarm78 - I'd love to see pics of that Verus Grand setup

Great point, It is about time I say this. We spend so much time worrying about sounding better and upgrading that we don't enjoy and give thanks for what we do have. Time to sit back, relax and enjoy!
