Description

Here is my den 2 channel and home theater rig.

Lots of changes recently, new pictures soon.

With the appropriate room treatments(4 corner bass traps, 2 traps at first reflection), imaging is wall to wall with a very strong center image. Bass is kept in check by using DSP(J. River plug in) for 2 channel listening.

Hi Face, thought I'd let you know I bought a nice pair od HPD 315's on Ebay UK, and custom 150 liter cabs are being made for them in Pennsylvania. My room is plenty large, at 16x30 with a cathedral ceiling. I thought about getting the 385's, but I was afraid 15" might be too much.

Regards,
Dan

That must sound good, and plenty of volume, too. The 385's are the 15" aren't they? I'm actively looking for a pair of 12" MG's, got the itch to go back to Tannoy, had a pair of 12" for 18 years, time to go back, I think.

Enjoy!
Dan
