A few years ago i started really getting into my own home theater & 2ch system. My wife & i just moved into a house from previous apts and now have something, that with my budget, im proud of. Its definately still in the works but this is what i have as of now. I love the warmth that B&W brings to the table. Once i added the 685s in the back, movies took on a whole new dimension! 5 channel stereo sounds pretty sick too. We just painted the wall behind the equipment, not sure if i like it. Looks better in person than in pics but think i want to change color of pattern. Anyways... all comments are welcome. Dont worry you wont hurt my feelings!....
System edited: Made a few changes to room layout, speaker placement, room acoustics & decor. VERY happy with both the aesthetic & sonic improvements! Got the phase dialed in with the dual subs & WOW what an increase in power. Cant believe what i was missing all that time.
hi eric, i know what you mean! i was listening to the BRAND new 802D hooked up to Classe Prepro & Amps....HOLEEEYY! Those babys really sound transparent. Beautiful, quality sound!But until i hit the lotto those arent anywhere near my budget. Im pretty maxxed out for now.:)
Hi beachbum! Like youve said everytime we make upgrades it leads us to another want....want want want! but until i can afford more power im just gonna have to be content with what ive got. Its a fun hobby i love it.
However, im not sure if my next upgrade should be new power to push the B&Ws or a new JL Audio Fathom 113....any thoughts??
beachbum, i read your response & my wife was in the room, she was not happy with you! haha I told her that ive already heard that these need more power to really get into their groove. you just confirmed it & im stoked to know that i have more to look forward to with the B&Ws. I absolutely love them now.....oh boy...amps here i come!
System edited: Previously i had 4 B&W M1 satellites as my 4 rear channels. I just yesterday got 2 B&W 685s as my rears & am stunned at how great they sound! Extremely powerful! I also in the same purchase went from an HTM62 to my new HTM61. The soundstage got HUGE & with a depth ive never heard before with my system! I am very happy with my changes!
