805s...mmmm...what stands are those? (not to mention how much and where?

)

 

[stuartr]

They are studio tech sc-24 stands. They weighed a ton before I put two bags of lead shot and a bunch of silica sand into them. I got them at my dealer, but you can get them online as well...

Here is a pic of my rig. Don't have the K1000's anymore.

I can’t show you my home theater right now because it is being revamped and I sold my projectors.

My gear is set up and tore down on a daily basis. I really have too much stuff to fit on these threads. My family has always told me that I have a serious problem collecting too much audio gear. Here is a picture of some of my favorite Carver gear that I currently have set up in my living room stereo just for this photo.

Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator
Carver PT-2400 amplifier (1200 watts/channel)

stuartr,

How does that Conrad Johnson stuff work with those B&W 805s. I am looking at a new amp for my 805S. Im thinking the Classe CAM200s, but I'm not sure.

BMP2000,

I can tell from your led on your Peavey that it is bridged. Is your Shiva 8 ohms?

Aren't you woried about the magnet of the speaker being in such close proximity to your hard drive and monitor?

That Peavey is not very good for full range sound but it is top notch for a sub amplifier!

Those Energy and PSB speakers are great little speakers for the price range. Very nice selection.

CJ and B&W work really well together. The synergy between the CAV-50 and the 805s is excellent. It makes for a resolving and yet extremely musical combination. Are you thinking about the CAV-50, or something in the way of separates? If you go separates, I recommend jumping to the premier series for a preamp -- they are fantastic, and I think they are substantially better than the PV-10, which seems to be a component not as brilliant as much of the rest of their line...

I did have worries about the magnet being close to the other things at first, but I've had them in such proximity for quite some time now without any noticable problems.. so I am just going with it, and yes, I love the little Energies and PSBs

. Hard to get any sort of good placement but I'll take what I can get.

As for the Peavey, I didn't think I had it in bridged mode... I use one channel for the sub (wired parallel for 4ohms, 400w receiving) and the other channel to power my Avatar B210 2x10 cab for my bass guitar. I'll have to check the back of it..... yup definitely in stereo mode. Nice amp for the money, thing just will not die!

Oh. My bad. It looked like your B channel LED was not lit in the picture. It can handle a 4 ohm load with no problem in stereo. Great slew rates to run those subs.

Yes, it will probably live forever. One of the best pro amp designs ever period.

Here are the details and specs on the Sun SBS: Custom Sub This thing can rattle teeth loose. We used some nice DTS LD's and DVD's to test it's capabilities.

 

[Edwood]

Lan: Nice photography.

Man, those computers must be loud when you have them all running. I am continually trying to get my computers quieter and quieter. I have four running in my studio already.

StuartR: More nice photography. Nice tungsten look. Matches the tubes.

BTW, it that the dreaded Yellow warning LED I see light up on the P300?

I'll post pics of my modest Home Theater when I clean up a bit. Haha.

Uma! *drewls*


Edwood, nah they're not that loud as I've modified them to be quiet. Before they were like a hurricane.
