What kind of home suround system do you have?

[Pacfanweb]

The speakers I'd REALLY love to have

Only 40,000 EACH. Maybe they'd be good for the surround speakers, too. :shocked:

Receiver: Pioneer 1014
Fronts: Paradigm Studio 60s
Center: Paradigm CC-570
Surrounds and subwoofer: leftover junk from my previous Onkyo system

I gotta wonder what kind of hookup you need with the local nuclear power plant to run a few 2000W speakers at the same time.

HT consists of:

Infocus 4805 Projector (Around 105" display)
Logitech THX Z-680

You like tossing gasoline onto fires don't you?

Wait until you see his actual equipment...

Audio equipment, sicko.

Yeah yeah. I couldn't handle the awesome power of the Blose, so I downgraded:

Front speakers: Aurum Cantus Music Goddess
Center channel: Aurum Cantus MR-C
Sides & Surrounds: Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE
Subwoofer: SVS PB12-Plus/4 (called the B4+ back when I bought it

Pre/Pro: Lexicon MC-8 Balanced
Amplifier: Adcom GFA-7807 7-Channel A/V Amp
Subwoofer Amplifer: Crown K-2 Bridged for Mono


Adcom amp was tested to 600w per channel at 4 ohm (which the speakers are) with all channels driven when fed enough juice. I have a dedicated 30amp circuit just for that amp.

Crown amp is good for 2500w at 4 ohm bridged. Also have a dedicated 30amp circuit just for that amp.

So:

4200w total power for speakers
2500w total power for subwoofer

Using an Adcom with all that?

I used to love Adcom but seeing that you use them, I fvking :heart: them now

Yep, the Adcom is surprisingly good, even compared with some of the tweaky brands. It's a lot of performance for the money.

Interesting. In a few months, I'm going to replace my Definitive mains with some McIntosh speakers....probably the LS 360's....or I might buy some older XRT 22's....not sure yet.
I'd love to acquire some more McIntosh amplification, but that Adcom sounds interesting.

Seriously. An old client of ours used ti swear by it, but it was small time stuff. The guy had vacum tube this and that, but I guess I didn't have that in mind.

If definitely sold me on the brand. Now hearign that the heavyweights are using them makes me all the more comfortable in purchasing one in the future.

One of the little known facts:

The Adcom GFA-7807 is actually designed by the same guy who did the $7500 California Audio Labs CL-2500, which is rated at 500w into all 5 channels at 8 ohm. It doubles to 1000w at 4 ohm with all 5 channels driven. It can be driven all the way down to 0.5 ohm. Pretty much just feed it enough juice and it scales amazingly.

It's still one of the most sought after pieces around because of their extremely low noise floor, amazing dynamics, accuracy, and depth (not to mention power). It's often positively compared to the likes of Pass Labs, EAD, Boulder, Krell, Theta, BAT, McIntosh, PSE, and others.

I'll ask you Apex. How do you draw enough power to run that entire system? 6700w seems like a lot more power than an Outlet can provide.

It was one of those "may as well" sort of things. I had the walls open when I was redoing that room, so I figured I should run some clean dedicated lines in.

I'm using a separate 20a line to run the other electronics in the room (pre/pro, DVD, HD box, DVDR, EQ for sub, scaler, screen motor, projector).

Halfway decent setup. Upgrading my reciever to accomadate my new amp since my current reciever does'nt have pre-outs for one

Panasonic 50" plasma (50px50u) I forget exact mdl. but it sounds correct.
Onkyo 502 (upgrading to the 703 and an added amp soon)
Polk Rti 12's (mains) (MORE POWER!!!!!..... I'm givin' her all she's got captain!
Polk CSI 3 (center)
Polk Fxi 3's (rear surrounds)
Sub (no need for one) I use the old Polk 202 in the pic, in the computer room with my Infinity Primus 150's and cheapy Sony str-de685 reviever (100x5). Sounds alot better than all these CRAP computer type speakers out there.


Here's an older pic on the first day I moved into my new house. I've added dvd shelving/cases on either side of the speakers and a Bello component stand to the right of the Bello tv stand to hold my vcr/dvd, cd player and x-box. Cables/wires are also nice and tidey now Rear surround wires were run under the house to the back of the reciever.

My setup (3mth old pic) Alot nicer now

**LOL** I may take up the nickname "thread killer". It seems I'm the last one that posts in a thread.

I post a reply, thread dies 90% of the time it seems **LMAO** Anyone else feel like it happens to you alot?

UPDATE: found a showroom model of a Denon 3805 for sale here in town, so my amplification is now on par with the rest of my system. my god, i am AMAZED at how much better my setup sounds now.
