Ian-500 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice set-up Steve. Best I had was a multi channel set-up consisting of Seleco CRT projector, 6ft screen, Denon CD/Super Audio/DVD player, Denon receiver, Krell 5 channel power amp, Kef Reference 4.2 front, Kef Reference 200c and Kef TDM45 dipoles. Didn't need a sub as the room was fairly small. Nothing left now......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-500 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Compared to the Denon doing the driving it was night and day. Much better control ofthe speakers and the sound was a lot more immersive. I imported it from the US and thought I could hook it up to an external step down transformer. No luck. I had to have the internal transformer changed before I could use it :( I had to down size the 4.2's to the 1.2's as the house I lived in wasn't big enough. Loved those 4.2's. They had such a wide and enveloping soundstage, great highs, fantastic mid-range and plenty of bass. They had the upgraded Rosetta Burr finish compared to the 1.2's which were black ash. Great to hear that others here are audio/videophiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Remember reading wmclarenf1's interaction with Chris mentioning stereos and even a side conversation with Spoon, I spoke about audio here? I've been out of audio for a long while but I used to run 2 systems. One strictly for music. Played around with Logan electrostatic panels for a while which had power subs built in. Had a Credo pre-power to drive them as they were rather power hungry. The Eagles Hotel California was great on them and in retrospect, I should have taken pity on my neighbors LOL. I think I used Red Dawn cables but can;t remember what I ran for interconects. This setup produced a very warm resonance. Great for vocals. One thing which I never got into but was tubes. My Home theater was much simpler and still have the Def Tech powered front and center with slave surrounds. Using an Onkyo now for everything as its convenient and more hardy to multiple users. The Def Techs just wont die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
