USMC850T Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Just to share my excitement, I'm finally putting together my baller setup!Just sold my polk RTi 10s that I had up on here a few weeks ago, and my amp is going next week.The new setup will be ordered very shortly!Parasound preampParasound 250 watt @ .015%THD per channel power amp. Bridgable as a monobloc to 700 watts The speakers will be Mission E83's, provided the rep can secure me a pair as the company was just sold.If not mission, Polk LSI 15's will be my second choiceAudioquest quadstar type 2 & 4 bi wired to the fronts.Monster m1000 XLR's for the interconnectsMarantz 6600 DVD-A SACD player.Needless to say I'm freaking pumped. I'm going to do the preamp, amp and speakers at once, I've already got the cables. The SACD / DVD-A player will come very soon. This shit is going to sound sooooooo good!

aldebaran Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Nice, post pics of the entire setup when it's done too. I'm always interested in how people's systems come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM850R Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I am just looking for some home audio setup for my house now. I have my eye on a Pioneer VSX-1016TXV A/V reciever and 7.1 Onkyo SKS-HT540 speakers all around. An HDTV is not complete without the home theater. Let us know how it sounds.

USMC850T Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 If you want my advice I would reccomend a Marantz sr4001 instead of the pioneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM850R Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 If you want my advice I would reccomend a Marantz sr4001 instead of the pioneer.If I had $700 I would get a midrange Denon. Well, technically I wont be buying anything. I am just trying to find something for my budgeted parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC850T Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 IMHO $500 marantz sr4001 > denon anything in that range. Denon and Marantz are owned by the same company, D & M holdings. You can think of them like VW and Audi, VW = Denon and Marantz = Audi. Seriously check out the marantz, it's a very refined reciever.

kenhoeve Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Very nice amp. But those cables are a complete waste of money unless you bought them for their looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Sweet. Someone else out there with a decent stereo setup. Let's see it when its all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC850T Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Very nice amp. But those cables are a complete waste of money unless you bought them for their looks.Which cables are you talking about? the speaker wires are gold! they sound better than any of the braided bullshit. I can A-B my cables to that stuff pretty easily.As far as the XLR's go they are not a waste of money because balanced interconnects take the cable pretty much out of the equation. Plus I get everything at dealer cost so money isn't too much of an issue when it comes to cables.Sweet. Someone else out there with a decent stereo setup. Let's see it when its all done.What do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 What do you have?Crappy old pic that doesn't show the components too well.Drained the camera's battery today at a Volvo get-together, so you'll have to wait for pics of the components.- (2) Bose 901 Series VI speakers- (1) Velodyne Servo Control 12" sub- (2) NAD Monitor Series 2100 amplifiers (each one is bridged and speaker cables are as short as possible)- (1) NAD Monitor Series 1600 preamp/tuner- (1) Bose Active Equalizer (901's really can't be run without this)- (1) M-Audio Firewire Solo Recording Interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhoeve Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Which cables are you talking about? the speaker wires are gold! they sound better than any of the braided I'm dumb.Really? Prove it. Expensive speaker wires are snake oil. The only important thing is the quality of construction and associated hardware. There was once a double blind experiment done on some "audiophiles" where they used expensive speaker wire, radio shack speaker wire, and romex(solid core copper home wiring). Guess what won? The romex. And guess what the "audiophiles" said? That double blind studies were not valid! Morons. What do you have?A lot of really cool equipment and somewhere in there is 120' of radio shack 14 gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
