RF-7s front, RS-7 surrounds (as well as RF-5s setup as a second set of surrounds for full-range duty), RC-7 in front and another in rear, all powered by a B&K amp. I absolutly love the sound that this system produces, even compared to several other systems that I've listened to, including one with Martin-Logan speakers all the way around. However, I do want to eventually get a "better" pre/pro, but the Denon AVR-3802 is doing plenty good as is. I do want to keep my REL Storm III sub, as I've never heard anything more accurate and musical, but I certainly am jonesing for an SVS PB2-Ultra. But in the end, the next place where money will be spent is on a larger TV to replace the aging 32-inch Sharp that I currently have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how we all aspire to be able to get one of these with such an exquisit sound. So lush, so muddy, so boomy. Oh, makes me drool: Oh I am not worthy, for I must stay in Klipsch Damnation. Oh, the sound, it is just so clear and dynamic, to the point its annoying. Gosh, the detail! I hate it when I can actually hear the pick against the guitar string or the actual drum-stick hitting the drum head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 My dream system? Eventually I'll have it up in my showroom... as soon as funding comes through.... Sound: 4 Khorns (R/L Front and Surround) 3 Belles (Center and R/L Surround Back) Pinnacle SuperSonic sub Bel Canto PrePro 7 Wright Sound AU70 monoblocks (70wpc KT-88 based) Video: Bel Canto Player DVDO iScan HD scaler EliteVision 9" CRT projector w/88 inch diagonal screen Certainly there are other components I haven't sat down and considered - turntable, HD receiver, etc. I'd definitely build myself a sound server for most of my digital music listening, although the Player is an astounding piece of equipment for that purpose....

GO TO YOUR ROOM! NO STEREO: 1 WEEK!! NEXT! -The "Sound Nazi" Just kidding, as you were, of course, Jeremiah. I'd would have to side with skonopa here and say that I, too am pretty close to having my "dream system" now (see system profile). I feel very fortunate to have had some very nice, although, lower-end systems over the years since my early twenties. I have been blessed with continuous employment (for the most part) and a very-understanding bride that appreciates how important music has always been to me. It was our mutual idea and agreement to build our theater and then fill it with quality componenets. We have both worked very hard to earn those things. The hard work makes one appreciate what they have even more, I think. Our trouble is that the two of us are so busy that it's difficult to find the time where we can both sit in the theater together to enjoy a film or two now and then. We love sharing the basement theater with family and friends. But, we're discovering that owning a dedicated home theater is akin to owning a swimming pool; People like to try and "invite" themselves over to watch a movie all the time. And, of course, we don't mind at all. But, luckily, unlike a pool, it's not likey they will ever try to pee in it. We do have floor drains, however...just in case! {Eeeeyew!} But, as for a "dream system"; it's very hard for me to imagine my wanting to try and improve on the sound I'm hearing now from our Klipsch/Pioneer Elite system. It is wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I am pretty close to mine already. I had put together a hell of a nice 2-channel rig while stationed in Germany for 3 years and it was not until 2000 that I transitioned everything over to this HT thing. It took me about 4 years of buying, selling, trading to get what I have now. The only forseeable upgrade for me would be Khorns for the rears assisted by my current '62 vertical Cornwalls as rear effects/centers. If sounds pretty unreal right now though!

prodj101 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 A pair of Verity Audio Lohengrins. A pair of McIntosh MC-501 power amps. A McIntosh C2200 preamplifier. An SACD player worthy of being connected to $60,000 speakers, and $12,000 worth of McIntosh electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm surprised most people are saying SVS B4, even though the Krell Master Reference Subwoofer has can hit alot lower f3 is at 14 hertz damnit, the b4 can go loud but not as deep as even a pinnacle everest. I'd say get 4 of them like the krell mrs website says for a super low lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenratboy Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Honestly, I would be VERY happy with a RF-7/RC-7/RS-7 system with SVS subwooferage (PB2-Ultra or two) and Parasound to power and preamp the system. For the video aspect, maybe InFocus's new NON COLOR WHEEL DLP ($30,000) on a 100" screen, or whatever works. Nothing fancy, just a good, clean system. Obviously, it would be pushing $100,000k, but not wildly unreasonable if I saved my change in a 55 gallon drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
