Hi guys, I just thought I'd post a few pics of my humble lounge room system which has to suffice for both HT and 2ch duties.

 

 

 

 

 

Crikey! Don't bring the house down - must sound epic

Fantastic work, always expensive going for a dual set-up, but then you get the best of both worlds so well worth it.  I bet it sounds brilliant, thanks for sharing!

Needs a HD DVD player there the future

Memories

Great setup you've got there

 

And recent pics ... this arvo's Townsville 400 on the TV?

 

I think just about everyone that has a record collection has an Ikea Expedit or Kallax shelving unit

Holy moley!! Nice set up! Congrats

Thanks guys it does the job nicely and gives me plenty of hours of relaxation.

 

 

@@houdinifangs,  the house gets a rattle up on movie nights for sure,  the PSA twins were an awesom addtition.  :lol:
 

@@Kaynin,  I think the main reason I get reasonable 2ch out of the system is the Elektra, I bought it for HT duties but it adds good oomph for music too.

 

@@Chill3, I do miss the HD DVD days. 

 

@@Sierra, yep the photos were taken yesterday, I had some others taken a while ago but since I've made some changes in the last couple of weeks I had to take new ones, yep was the Townsville 400.  The Expedit/Kallax do the job very well.

 

@@hkc, thanks. 

Doesn't look very modest to me, looks fantastic.

Would love your subs as well!

Congrats on your work Kazz, very nice. Looks like you would have prodigious bass, sorry if I have missed something but what type of speakers are they?

Yamaha components?

Thanks Darren, yep the bass is quite good , I had an M&K MX5000thx before but it was quite old and one day last year just died, I may have been able to get it repaired but decided to go with the twins instead and I have no regrets.

 

The speakers are Dali Concepts (not to the standard of many on here) for a not top end of the market speaker they sound really good in my room.  I have the 10's - fronts, 6's - surrounds, 2's - rear surrounds & centre - centre.

A friend of mine has Dali speakers and her system sounds great. She pinches all of my cables etc when I upgrade.

I was broke for 12 months after I got my Focals and there are still 'many on here' that are at a higher standard than mine! I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I bet your non-hi-fi friends are in awe of the system.

Ahh, PSA are Power Sound Audio, have not heard of them until now, there you go.

Haha my non-hifi friends think I'm completely insane.  

 

I hadn't heard of PSA until last year either but the Australian distributor Peter @ deephzaudio is happy to bring one around to try it out in your own system (especially as he's only 10 mins from me) and once I heard one I was sold.  

nice work kazz, apart from a few things in the pics there ...look like a few upgrades since I last visited some years ago

 

screen upgrade as well, I was sure you were running one of those stretchy curved edge lp morgans ? I was always curious about those but ended up getting a more conventional screen technics myself self.

 

am sure system working away a treat...

Very nice..see and feel the music.

 

Congrats.

Thanks Al, yep the room is basically the same, except I finally got rid of the window that used to be behind the ent unit, so I could hang the tv on the wall.  It is a new screen, you're right the last one was an LP Morgan but not one of the stretchy ones just a conventional motorised drop down and it developed too many waves to make watching movies enjoyable.  I'm really enjoying the whole system and enjoying vinyl again more than I thought I would.

 

Very nice..see and feel the music.

 

Congrats.

 Thanks Steve. 

There have been a few equipment changes to the system, I moved the Beyonwiz T3 to the bedroom and bought a Beyonwiz T4,  sold the CD player as I just wasn't using it at all, got an Apple TV4 and upgraded the Denon X4000 to an X4200.

 

The vinyl collection has increased just a tad.

 

 

After seeing Al's posts re his HT unit and seeing it in person last week, I went out today and bought the timber I need to make a new unit for my lounge.  I had intended to stain the timber today as well but after getting waylaid at Dixons and coming home with an armful of lp's it somehow didn't get done. 

 

On Monday I'll be ordering the Qubelok and by next weekend should be putting the unit together.

very nice kazz....looks like the vinyl collection is growing

 

look forward to see what you come up with using the qubelok for your HT unit

Thanks Al, about to stain the timber, it would be really good if the colour charts bore even the slightest resemblance to the actual stain colour though.

Hi Karen

Thanks for posting on SNA - great to have our female membership increased by a factor of 100%  

 

Lovely looking system which I bet sounds terrific. Enjoy in good health.

 

Cheers

Hi Kazz

Are the subs a pair of Maelstrom X, 15' s ?

What do you think of them.

I just purchased 4 x 18's  and looking for a second opinion on that type of driver.

Haha I love what people on this forum call "modest", "humble" and "basic"

Thanks Andrew, it does sound great, but I'm biased and sometime this year I'll be adding a couple of ceiling speakers for atmos/dts:x/auro, can't wait to hear what difference it'll make.

I'm quite happy with 2ch sound too, it's always a compromise to have ht/2ch in one system and also not in a dedicated room but I'm ok with what I have.

The subs are Powersound Audio XS30's, each one is a dual 15" configuration and they really get the house moving at a decent volume.  :P

Hahaha  :P

The shelves for the new unit are stained now, I had almost forgotten how much I hate painting/staining,  now to get the Qubelok this week and then the painful bit of the job, unhooking and re connecting all of the gear, gets underway.

Nice 4 x 15's, yea they would ripple the cladding on the house, no lack LF extension for movies, yea very modest   15Hz bass monster.

DIY is fun until you are actually doing the job, usually on a Sunday arvo when anything else would be better   certain amount of satisfaction though

Yep I do love the twins.  

 

I'm paying for the hours of standing, bent over the timber sanding and staining, today, believe me.  I have a lower back issue from years of nursing and I really aggravated it yesterday, I definitely would've enjoyed sitting down listening to a few lp's much more.
