From the top - Dishnetwork Sat box; Odyssey Stratos Stereo Extreme, Sony DVP-S7700 transport (Nixon Tubedac and power supply behind this), Panny RP-82 dvd player, Yamaha Changer, Philly Audio Blues 7b preamp, Denon 3802 pre/pro and Newcastle AM-9080 5 channel amp |
Sweetspot2 - The view from the couch. The SVS sub in the corner with the TV, mains and center. The mains are pulled about a foot or so out in front of the TV for better 2 channel imaging. The front three speakers are on stands and then on Vibrapods between the speaker and stand. I'm currently in the process of upgrading the RTA-11t mains to 11tl's by upgrading the tweeter, modifying the crossover and upgrading the caps, resistors, etc. All internal wiring will be changed to Cardas and the binding posts will be the Patented Cardas CPBP copper. |
Whole Room - A look from the stairs entering the room. |
Surrounds - View from the front of the room with the side and rear surrounds. I'd really like to have them all about 2-2.5 feet lower on the wall - if it wasn't for that damn opening into the kitchen!! |
