New GR Research AV Surround System w/servo sub

  Four months ago my son had a bad house fire that did extensive damage to his home. Also, as a result of this fire everything in his home was declared a total loss including his home entertainment system. Back in September he asked if I would build a new speaker system for him. I was reluctant at first to agree building him a new system because of my health problems. However, I finally agreed to do so even though it was difficult for me. What I built for him were a pair of AV3 TL towers, a AV3S center channel, a pair of AV1RS rear speakers, and a 12" Servo subwoofer. The speakers have Sonicap and No-Rez performance upgrades. The cabinets are finished in red oak veneer and painted satin black.  The performance of the new system is absolutely amazing. My son and I are both extremely pleased with how this system turned out both in sound quality and looks. The following pictures show how it turned out.

Nicely done Ron.

By the way, my sister-in-law really likes the Encores you built.

   Thanks Jay and Larry. I appreciate your comments. Sorry to say that this will probably be my last speaker building project.

Hi Ron,
that the kind of HT system that I (and my wife too) would like to have in our living room.
Really, really nice looking and sounding (I am sure) system.
Can you give us an idea of what are the other components?
Thanks.

Hi Guy,

  Glad that you like my son's new speaker system. Since he likes to watch a lot of action movies, live sports and musical concerts on TV
this system sounds extremely good for this type of use. This system will play very loud and still remain clean and detailed even in his 15 ft x 24 ft den. The GR Research 12"  Servo subwoofer bass is incredibly fast, clean, and very deep. One of the best subwoofer I have ever heard.

  Since he lost everything in the fire, the only other components he has purchased so far is a new Onkyo TX-NR737 surround receiver and a Play Station 4.  He plans to buy to a new DVD player and some other components in the near future.

  I would like to add that even though it was hard on me physically to build due to my present health problems, it was
rewarding to build it for my son. He is extremely happy and proud of his new system and very appreciative  which makes me feel good.
