Man, my system has come a long way in 8+ years...I thought I'd list the evolution of my home system and some amusing pics:
1st setup (no pics, around 1998): JVC Pro Logic receiver JVC Hi-Fi VCR 2x Polk Audio Monitor 10 speakers (made back when Polk still kicked ass) Bose VCS-10 center channel (yup, you read that correctly, I had that pile of shit boat anchor for a few years) No surrounds Circa 2000: Yamaha DD/DTS receiver Sony DVD player Same Monitor 10's Shitty Polk center channel crappy outdoor JBL speakers functioning as surrounds no sub (check out those crappy stands!!!) Sometime around 2002 (you can tell that at this point, I was working for HT store and got some good discounts): Bought a Hitachi 51" HDTV and had it ISF calibrated Upgraded to a Marantz SR-7400 receiver Upgraded to a Marantz DV-6200 DVD player Pioneer Laserdisc player (yup...I still have this bad boy so I can watch the widescreen versions of the Star Wars films without the Added 90's crap) B&W 601 S2 fronts B&W CC-6 S2 center (never was a fan of this one...too boxy sounding) Crappy ass Jamo Dipole surrounds Home made sub using a Yamaha pro amp and 2 impact 12" driver I used to have in my truck Last edited by smokehouse; 01-29-2008 at 12:02 AM.. |

Along the way I bought a set of B&W 600 S3 subs and made another sub from a Parts Express Titanic sub and plate amp:

After that I built the prototype for my Monolith sub and a QSC amp to run it off of:

About a year later my wife and I bought our first home and I finally got my own room to use as a home theater..other that some sound treatments and some new paint/chairs and a finished Monolith, my setup pretty much so stayed the same.

Along the way (since 2004) I've made some changes such as:
-Different sound treatment -Sunfire processor -Rane BB22 to balance to output to my sub amp -Outlaw Audio ICBM -Rotel RMB-1075 amplifier -Changed fronts to 601 S3's -Changed center to LCR-600 S3 -Moved 601 S2's to rear and lowered them on floor standing stands -Added another 12" sub to the rear of the room to balance the bass -Added a Toshiba HDDVD player -Added all Triburaries and Straightwire interconnects and cables Here's a shot of my current stuff, for the most part it has stayed the same for nearly 2 years now...

WOW, nice setup! I've been wanting to do something similar for a long time, but the funds just aren't there right now. One day.
