Re: My First Attempt

[ Edited ]

Woa, where do you guys take all that money from o.O

Here's my humble set-up, computer, TV and gaming place :smileyhappy:

I have a 5.1 surround system that I can use, but I will most likely be using headphones anyway :smileytongue:

My TV is a 26" Insignia... It's basic, I got it for under $400 about a year ago, it does 720p and I can use it as another monitor for my computer, it sure gets the job done :smileytongue:

 

Edit: TV on discovery, computer on mIRC, as usual  :smileytongue:

Re: Show us your Home Theatre Setup!

By the way Boss29 if you're still looking for a stand I would highly recommend the VTI DFC-19.

I use it for my CC-370v4, but bought it with the CC-690 in mind as it will support over the weight of the CC-690 and is 1/4 or less of the cost of the Paradigm recommended stand.

Re: Show us your Home Theatre Setup!

[ Edited ]

For my main AV rack I have the 6-shelf VTI RGR 406 with almost 12" of space on the bottom shelf. The bottom shelf spacing was important, but I have since added a cooling unit on top of the Onkyo as it runs quite hot.

 

Here's how mine looks with a TX-SR805 on the bottom shelf with ample breathing room.

 

•Shelf Spacing (from bottom, up): 11 1/2", 9 1/4", 9 1/4", 9 1/4", and 8 1/8"

 

 

 

Close up from the top:

 

 

 

From top to bottom:

1) Turntable - Goldring GR-2 with Goldring 1012GX cartridge

2) Pioneer Elite DV-48 SACD/DVD-A player (behind it is the Parasound Zphono preamp)

3) Toshiba D-R410 DVD-Recorder

4) PS3 (80GB) with 2 sets of Buzz buzzers

5) Bell 9200 HD PVR

6) Onkyo TX-SR805

 

The rest of my system is as follows:


Fronts - Paradigm Monitor 11v4

Centre - Paradigm Monitor CC370v4

Centre Stand - VTI DFC-19
Rears - Paradigm Monitor 11v5

Sub - Paradigm Servo 15v2

 

Of course the Paradigm Servo is probably my favourite speaker, with the faceplate reading 1800w it has no problem diving below 20Hz with exceptionally low distortion and can energize the room on a whim.

 

Future upgrades include the Groovetracer platter and sub-platter for the Rega-built Goldring GR-2 turntable, CC-690 Paradigm centre channel and Studio 100's for the fronts, at which point I may try and get Studio 60's for the rears or just stick with the Monitor 11's. The reason the newer model are the rears over the v4's is I wanted to timbre match with the centre and because I find the v4 series of the Monitor line to be more neutral and less bright than the v5's and v6's.
