Here is my Setup

TV Sony 52 inch Bravia XBR LCD
Controller Parasound Halo C-2
Amp Parasound Halo A-51
DVD LG Blu Ray Super Blu player BH 1200
Sub Velodyne DD-15
Power Conditioner Monster HTS2600 MKII
Front Speakers Polk LSi 15's
Center Polk LSiC
Rear Polk FXi5's
Game Console Wii

It sounds Great after tweaking some .The New sub and TV is crazy and Blu Ray I think is awsome. New stand ,it kinda sags alittle, could not find any that would really work, or the wife liked. Then saw some nice ones at Hippos but will have to wait they are expensive.

Cool Thanks, I put it together listening to allot of people on this site. Also looking on line about specs and what people thought of them. Much like allot of us. It is allot of fun putting a HT setup together and listening to it for the first time. Thier is so much to learn and you could tweek all the time. But it always cool to see if it made a difference.

Nice setup!

Just one thing, isn't the sub too close to the LSi15?

Yeah, I was gonna mention that you should pull out your 15's several inches, beyond the front plane of your audio rack, then play around with distance and toe-in. You'll be amazed at how much you can improve the sound by doing that -- guaranteed. Right now you're suffocating the 15's. Other than that, the setup is very nice.

Nice setup,, I always wondered what the 15's would sound like with a sub. Is the bass pretty well controlled and tight? I'm guessing that it is. Congratulations on your rig,,have fun,,and most of all,, enjoy. :)

Between the LSi's and the Sub thier is like 3 inches. I thought it was close also. I have to try to keep it looking nice for the wife she did let me buy this stuff. But you think I should move the sub back and the LSi's up and toe in more. See this is what I mean you can always get some GOOD advice here and I am always looking for it. The Sub complimences the LSi's GREAT. The Amp weighs 90 pounds I believe. Thanks guys keep the ADVICE coming.

So I moved my speakers foward alittle and left the sub almost where it was. I rentered distance and let the Controller do its auto calibrate. It set all the speakers at -db. It sounded alittle weak. I raised the dbs above the negative. Like +2 fronts +4 center and 0 dbs for rear. The cotroller had them down to -11dbs and my sub -15dbs. I set the sub at 0dbs is this all ok to do. Still practicing with setting it up. It sounds Good. But will it hurt anything.

Nice man. I have not heard Parasound gear in years. Actually the last time is when the Halo system came out. I did a really sweet theater system with Klipsch reference speakers and Halo system. It sounded awesome. Man for theater it rocked the basement.

If you can, move your LSi15s further from your television. In a perfect setup your speakers and your seat will almost form an equilateral triangle.
