Show off your Audiophile system.

[trickson]

Lets see your Audiophile setup any and all are welcome show off your speakers and your set up.

Let's all keep it civil and do not judge someones setup or knowledge because of speaker placement!
This is about showing off.

Yeah it's all Denon and So sweet.
The Reference Premier 5000F and 6000F and the DBX Soundfield RS Plus are just Amazing at delivering me Realistic sound reproduction at an Audiophile level! With 2X12" subs that deliver earth pounding sound that you not only hear but you FEEL, And it immerses you in the Music/ Movie or even Game that is PURE entertainment in my book!
Will be adding more as I get more.

Yeah it's all Denon and So sweet.

With Denon quality you can never go wrong, my dad still has a very similar cassette deck from 30 years ago (also DENON) and it still runs smoothly, not to mention the quality of DBX speakers, that's a very sweet sound system. Congrats!

PS: Greetings to Chip!

Thank you, I so agree Denon is just tops in my book.
And so is my boy Chip he just loves when papa jams out.

Yeah, it's a great brand, I'll add Marantz as well, I tried some amps from them and they really rock. Also Infinity and Technics are worth to mention, specially for speakers.

One of these days I should invest in a proper audiophile system, proper amp, speakers, etc. for my living room and media center. Though that, as I'm an amateur musician, I do own a couple of amplified M-AUDIO BX5-D2 (35W per channel) monitors paired to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, both doing a great job, not just for musical production but also to enjoy music/games/movies as its pure and highest 2.0 quality, at least I have a semi-audiophile system to enjoy media content at my office room

And so is my boy Chip he just loves when papa jams out.

He's rolling in the deep while enjoys the music, so cool

Is that a car sub box back there?
I have to question your timing after going toe to toe with another member recently about audio stuff. You say keep it civil but I think you are digging that hole by doing just this. Just being honest. Not sure your timing was perfect on this one.

You'll get far better bass response by putting that sub somewhere with nothing in front of it. Bass is non-directional and the sound wave takes several feet to properly form. Even angling it in that corner with it firing unobstructed toward the middle of the room will be a massive improvement.

Trust me, would if I could. The sub is wayyy too big for this room. It's the only place the 140 lbs beast fits.
Edit: Angling it firing unobstructed is also a challenge since it's dual opposing drivers. I'll play with it more though

Preach it. Best way is what sounds best.

I have a fondness for AKG headphones, which some find exceedingly odd. I dunno, works for me.

 

[funboy6942]

I won't say audiophile for hate that term, but love what I got and sounds good to me, can care less if others don't for they didn't buy any of it and it only matters to me if I like it in the end and I'm happy with it

And yes my room and desk is a mess I'm fully aware of it

I had an 18" EV sub as part of my band PA for a while. It was so much of a pain to move I ended up selling it. For my home gear I put the sound system in first then whatever furniture fits afterwards. It only took a few years for my wife to quit bitching about it. 3/4 of my house is filled with audio and computer stuff. The kitchen and bathroom are the only rooms safe from my addiction.

 

[trickson]

YES! Keep them coming I love them all!

 

[Patmine23]

Heres my simple set up.

Klipsch powered sub 10"

Monster Cable power conditioner
Samsung 8000 series tv

Okay I finally think I got it.
I been racking my brains looking at all kinds of setup and trying to find a way to get surround sound and I think I just did that.
I put the Surround rear on the ceiling them be the DBX.

Here I have full Right and Left separation.

The speakers are stuck on the ceiling with this industrial strength Velcro don't think I am going to be peeling them off anytime soon, LOL.

Looking straight up from my seating area.

So now my sectional sofa is no longer an issue!!!

That is an empty wooden subwoofer box.

This is one way to get around the sectional sofa!
I put the speakers on well stands.

And they said that you can't do surround sound with a sectional? Well they never met ME!
When you are an AUDIOPHILE Nothing is really Impossible maybe improbable but NOT impossible.

OH yeah and NOW I really do have the PERFECT sound! Surround SOUND!

 

[funboy6942]

You really need to separate them purple speakers for they are way too close together, and because they angle in towards each other, your not getting any benefit out of them at all, especially being that close to each other. Need to make them as far between as the rear channels or it will just come off pretty much like mono sound and wont hear left from right. Other then that, enjoy surround sound, and if this is your first time with it, its gonna open a whole new world to you in movies, games, and music, for now you got to go find everything in dts and dd, and really go nuts

 

[trickson]

Thank you. I'm still working on them so far it sounds really good I can hear Left and right and things now move around me in a creole it's freaking AMAZING.

I'm a bit f'ed on the ceiling speakers for now as it is going to take a real steady hand and a blow dryer to get that stuff off without taking off my paint and drywall.

Okay so I got to it and got them 4 and a half feet apart it's a lot better now. Thanks.

WOW talk about opening up a whole new world!
OMG people this is friging AMAZING!

I literally feel like I am in a theater!

 

[E-Bear]

Just a thrift store bargain for my tv setup.

Amp : Yamaha A-07
Center : Technics SB-C938
Pair : KLH Linear Dynamics model 403

Nothing crazy, but it has its moments.

What about the effect of vibrations of the sub on your rig ?

 

[argon]

here is mine, dali zensor 5 and cambridge cxa60

 

[freeagent]

No problems to speak of on that front. The rest of the house rattles though.

The Office:



What can I say, I'm a tinkerer... Everything is modded and tweaked or self build from ground. The Active monitors are QMS Q5s and I completely redid the internals, PSU, output stages, grounding etc. The headphones are a pair of planar magnetic Mr Speakers Mad Dogs and my custom Beyerdynamics T1 drivers in closed DT770 housing for gaming Redisigned baffles 3D printed and properly dampened. . Several DACS to play with. The big one is a ES9018. Got a Khadas ES9038 for reference (outstanding little thing) and a couple of AKM mod projects and one original for reference to compare improvements of my mods. Output/input transformers etc.

Home theater corner is not up to date any more since I rarely use it. Speakers can still go on but the Marantz and screen can be replaced.

One of those moments caused an earthquake, I see.
