Upstairs Main System

These are a few photos of my main system upstairs. A few things have changed since these photos, so I'll take some more and update here shortly. I'm still working a few things out. Right now I have one of my centers resting on the front sub. I know this is not the ideal place for it, but I have but rubber insulaters on the bottom of the center channel to try to absorb some vibration. This is just temporary until I can find a better solution and/or stand.

Front Stage of system. The living room area has hardwood floors and high vaulted ceilings. It makes for a challenged acoustical environment. The Denon AVR-2809 with the Auddyssey XT calibration does a great job of compensating for these challenges. It sounds great!	RTi 10 surrounds and RTi 8 rear sorrounds. That's my fishing dawg Buddy lying on the floor. I have modified this setup I moved my RTI-12s to sorrounds and RTI-10s as back sorrounds after adding RTA-12Bs as front mains. Updated Pictures Coming soon.	Polk DSW Pro 600 rear subwoofer. I have since moved the couch in the right of the picture further foward in the room. This allowed me to move the RTi10 surrounds up a little closer to just behind my main listening area

Front main stage and componet tower. There is a small sunroom just to the right of the main stage. Lots's of acoustical challenges! Love my RTi 12 towers. I have since moved these to Side sorrounds after adding RTA-12Bs as front mains	Front stage again. I have replaced the Onkyo 806 reciever seen here with a Denon AVR-2809 and moved the Onkyo to the down stairs system (photos coming). I have added a Monster Power 1600 power conditioner to help out the Pananamax 5100 power conditioner seen here. I put it on the empty shelf seen on the component rack and stacked the blu-ray player above it for easier accesibility and better venting for the cable box. I have also added a Denon DCM-390 as a dedicated CD player. I will add a turntable and dedicated music preamp soon.
