What's your setup.

My home audio system is very basic, but sounds decent:

Rega Planar 3 Turntable w/ Ortofon 2M Red
Oppo BDP-103 (for playing CD's)
NAD M10 BluOS Streaming Amplifier
Dynaudio Special-Forty Speakers
Dynaudio Sub-3 Subwoofer

My home A/V system is also basic, but decent equipment:

Samsung 65" Q9FN Television
XBox One X
NAD T777 Receiver
Dynaudio S4-W65 In-Wall Speakers (X 4)
Dynaudio P4-LCR50 In-Wall Center Channel
Dynaudio P4-C65 Ceiling Mount Speakers
Dynaudio Sub-6 Subwoofer

I currently just have a basic setup:

2 Chane Floor standing A5.4's
1 Chane matching center
Yamaha AVR
1 UM 18 in Marty enclosure.
AudioEngine B1 AptxHD for BT streaming

Also, I hear alot of great things about DIYSG speakers! I dont own any (yet) nor have i heard them (yet), but wondering if any here have heard them or have them. The only thing close that I have to this is a Dayton UM18 Sub in a large "Marty" enclosure.

Looking into hearing some DIYSG speakers such as the famous 1099's! :shocked:

My small system consist of:
Sony Xa 20 ES CD player
Digital player that I ocassionally use in my car with coax out
DBX Drive Rack PA+
2 x Yamaha M65 for mid and tweeter
2 x Crest audio bridged for bass

2 x JBL 2226 in ported enclosures - Bass
4 x JBL 2118 in ported enclosures - Midrange
2 x JBL 2404 - Horn tweeters
cables - Esoteric audio, Oyaide, DLS

i'm renting this house, i don't have room for anything fun in this living room. :(

Home audio fun, sweet. I'm working on setting up the extra rooms in my house with different 2 channel setups, but for now I just have the "Family Room" and the Living Room setup.

The "Family Room" is part theater, part sports room, and part listening. Its my favorite place.

The amp works with headphones and speakers.

Denon 990 receiver
Pair of Cerwin Vega LS12 3-way speakers I bought new in 01
usb flash drives plugged into the receiver

These speakers need to go and maybe a separate amp on whatever replaces them. They were perfect for what I wanted back when I bought them but now that I've turned into a snooty hifi guy they just aren't cutting the mustard. Audyssey in the Denon flattened them out fairly well and they still have midrange issues from poor design and a cheap but loud 5.25" mid driver. Pulled them out of climate controlled storage at dad's house and they seem to still have that Cerwin Vega sound after not hearing them for 13 years. He never used them so I said I was coming after them, lol.

I'm thinking a pair of Wharfedale Crystal 4.3's with a powered sub will do the job. Probably use my IDQ12v4 in a big sealed box (cuz it needs a big box for a .7 alignment) and throw plenty of power at it with a bridged dsp amp at 8 ohms. And do a dedicated dsp amp on the Wharfedale's eventually.

JBL Professional Series 2402H ultra-high frequency transducers (tweeters).
JBL Professional Series 2440 compression drivers (midrange horns).
JBL Professional Series 2309 horns (midrange horns).
JBL Professional Series 2390 acoustic lenses.
Eminence EM-54-15-H18 15” pro woofers (in custom 100Hz folded horns).

Kenwood KR-X1000 (THX) HT receiver – (purchased in early ‘90s to run the horns, which had been purchased a couple years earlier from a friend who had designed and built them for himself).

Dayton HF 15s in sealed 3ft^3, powered by a Crown XLS 1502.

Pre amp: Audible Illusions
Amp: VTL (2x 100w)
Speakers: Vandersteen 2c (2) and - Vandersteen sub.

So.. basically a pretty old school approach.

But... I recently got a 2 channel APL to add into the chain between preamp and amp(s)... so going a bit modern in a way.
