There have been numerous changes in the audio system since this photo was taken, but the video side of the equation is unchanged - Runco RS-1100 projecting onto a 92" Stewart Filmscreen (the motorized drop screen seemed a must in the attempt to preserve the integrity of my integrated 2-channel music system). I'll try to get a good, current photo and I'll join a hosting site so I can post a decent looking picture. For the moment, here's an old shot from behind me (gotta love remote triggers ).

Modified Klipschorn mains, Lascala center, 2Danley DTS10 subs built into wall, 136" scope screen.

Rack


Klipsch KPT 12VB pro side surrounds.


Klipsch KPT1201 rear surrounds.

Here's mine, as it now exists with my new Maggie 1.7's and nCore nc400 monoblocks (that's them hanging on the wall behind the Maggies).

mkcarnut,

Why two Sonos units?

[pg_rider]

My room.  Paradigm Studio 10 mains, Hsu VTF-3 Mk III and VTF-3 Mk IV subs, Adcom GFA-6000 amp, Pioneer receiver, etc.

Man, so jealous of all you who have or are able to have a "dedicated" room for your listening, let alone HT room.
Thanks for the pictures!  Maybe on day, I'll have something I can share...

A small 12X19X7 HT

Very cool, I like it! 

[drummermitchell]

Thanks Bob,for such a small room it turned out pretty good considering I have two concrete walls(front and right side)insulated and dry walled.
Ceiling is low,thats where I put 10" of roxull(safe+sound) throughout the ceiling joists.ceiling tiles are painted with Behr(midnight sky)a very deep blue(almost a black colour) and the walls are a brown carmel colour.
Have basstraps surrounding the ceiling wall corners and bass traps and diffusers on the back wall(7'W)as there is an open hallway there.
No windows so she is terrific for movies.
I made a cavity in the left side wall where I put my amp rack to free up the front where I installed a 128X50" cinema scope screen(16X9)before.
The rack is powered by 28SST2's+7Bsst(M's+C) and to the side of the back wall is a rack with components and a 4Bsst for the back surrounds.
She does HT and two channel as I run separate XLR`s for two channel as I just switch out the cables behind the front amps(very quick).
I use the Vac Sig MKII for two channel and Av-8 for movies.
For what I had to work with size wise and restrictions structure wise,she turned out quite good for sure,and no I`m not buying another house to have a bigger room,unless............................... .

Finally about finished!...after more than 50 years of being an audiofool.



Visual stuff:
Oppo '95, Epson UB8700 sitting about 13' from the screen and about 3' behind me, Severtson 2.35-ratio screen that's 8' wide (NOT diagonal).  I manually adjust the PJ to fill the screen with Panavision-ratio images, and at my 10.5' viewing distance, the pixels aren't visible.  Said another way, images are more film-like in my room than they are in a theater, where I CAN see the pixels.

Audio stuff:
Conrad-johnson all-analog, vacuumtubed MET1 preamp; McCormack DNA-750 poweramps driving Vandersteen 5A main speakers; McC DNA-HT5 poweramp driving Vandersteen VCC-1 centerchannel speaker (and soon, with a separate channel, the DIY bassbox the VCC-1 is sitting on); custom in-wall surrounds driven by 2 'HT5 channels; DIY SuperSubs driven by the Crown CDi1000; gobs of hi-end powerconditioning (mostly Audience) and powercable; the best IC that I can afford; and all important cable lifted from the carpeted floor.

Here is a shot of the main floor 3.1 HT.

I have a build thread here http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=75625.0.

Basically the gear is:

Panasonic VT30 55 inch Plasma
Pioneer VSX-821AH receiver
Pioneer DVD player
Bell dish receiver
Energy Take 6 satellite speakers (front stage - no surrounds)
DIY subwoofer - Nakamichi 12 inch woofer, 300w BASH amp

It is in a room that is open to the kitchen, so I can watch hockey or golf while I prep meals on the weekend, and is a comfortable space for the family to hang out on the main floor.

New house, new layout (compared to what I posted above).

[Bob in St. Louis]

Oh yea, that's sweet.

That looks like a Decware "Housewrecker".

Hi folks, here is my dedicated HT setup. It is in a room designed specifically for these large electrostats and an infinite baffle sub. The room has significant acoustic treatments based on careful analysis and measurements. The front sidewall treatments are custom featuring an ESL motif with stator panels integrated into the deign

The speakers are highly customized MartinLogans, not a single one is stock, they all run off a sophisticated active crossover and multi-amp setup. I wanted a high performance center channel, so I designed and built my own large-format ESL center that sits behind the AT screen.

Designed to be a reference-grade multichannel audio system first, the rig delivers amazing results on the high-rez recordings from Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree and others). It's also not bad as an HT for movies with a 4K JVC projector.

Here are the pics and full gear list:



Note that the CRT is gone and replaced by the JVC digital PJ now.

Here is a pic of my custom center, which lives behind the screen. This was taken just after the build, the wall behind it is fully treated now.




Speakers are:

Fronts:  MartinLogan Monolith IIIx - Custom woofers, new panels ('06)
Center:  MartinLogan / JonFo SL3XC - Custom center channel, build thread here
Rears:   MartinLogan Sequel IIb's

That is nothing short of stunning. Thank you for the post Jon.     

[raysracing]

F'n great, I come after Jon's system. My modest living room system that is getting very old, but our family still loves it. We curl up in this room every day and night.

My 90's vintage Definitive Technology BP10's (all woofers replaced a couple years go aftr I found that the surrounds and woofers were not attached-ummm), C1, BP-2L surrounds, Powerfiled 15 subwoofer. Denon AVR-1910 receiver, Denon Blue Ray DBP-1610, Cheap LG 42" 1080p LED, PS3, Roku, Apple TV Gen2 which often airplays from our iOS devices and MBPro.

And the paint samples on the walls which have been there for years. Oh and daughter photo bomb. Surprised one of my two dogs isn't in the pic too as a blur. We wish we had a 50", but I still love these Definitives. I only want a new center someday.

F'n great, I come after Jon's system.

Most here can say that. No worries man. It's not a competition. Thanks for posting!
