(more later - need to take some additional pictures)
if you find yourself in / around the city of chicago and would like to come by and beat on the V's - drop me a line - i'd be happy to set aside some time for interested parties to have a listen.
Holy hell.... this thing is HUUUUGE. Find a dealer - check it out... you'll be hardpressed to find a better center channel anywhere. period.
Parasound JC-1
4 of these drive the V's
Parasound Halo A51
Lots of power for hungry applications. The a51 will eventually turn my 5.1 system into a 7.1 rig with its remaining channels.
Parasound JC-2
Since the C1 went away - i needed something clean for 2 channel. I probably don't need to say much more about this piece. It's built like a tank, runs hot, and sounds fantastic.
PS Audio PerfectWave DAC
should probably upgrade this too at some point...
Legacy Audio Wavelet
Dac / Room Correction - Oem'ed by Bohmer Audio.
Integra DTC 9.8
Probably should update this someday.
M&K MX-350 thx
Two of these babies vertically stacked really brings out the low-end in a 5.1 system. Drywall tape repair is a constant reality.
M&K SS-150
Not a bad little surround tripole. For now these litle guys will stay in my system until legacy makes a dipole/tripole that doesn't have to be mounted on my walls.
Samsung HL-T7288W
yes - i need a new tv.
Nvidia Shield
it streams stuff...
Belkin PureAV pf60
Pure crap - don't bother - avoid their power products at all costs. This unit is currently serving as nothing more than a glorified power strip. Originally purchased for noise in the lines caused by light dimmers, this unit ended up introducing more problems to video playback thn i originally had.
Ran some 10awg romex from an isolated sub-pannel to two hospital grade hubbell outlets. Results were quite nice.
Homebrew XLR - Canare L-4E6S w/ Neutrik NC3FXX
For less than 70 dollars retail, this produced 6 custom xlr cables. Much better than off the shelf guitar-center livewire :). Eventually i'll play with some more exotic wire/connectors. For now, i'm quite happy with the situation.
Speltz Anticables
Excellent bang for buck. Pain in the ass to work with. Still highly recommended
Congratulations on the upgrade to the Legacy V's! They are truly an amazing speaker. You have one hell of a home theater/audio setup and it keeps getting better!!!
I have been using a Furman Elite 15pf for several years with my Sony Direct View CRT and as of the last 4 years, my Samsung DLP RPTV. The Elite line from Furman excels at video. I've also seen Richard Gray power conditioners do a great job with HD televisions, projectors and the like....
Great system! It's nice to see another HT theater with Legacy that kicks ass as a gaming system (ours makes the PS3 a whole new experience and then some....see system posted, the kids love it!). We have something call KAF (Kid Acceptance Factor) in our home that I have to contend with....
How do you like the Whisper HD's? I bought the Focus HD's and the different between them and my Focus 20/20's is amazing.
In terms of speaker wire, I've found with both models that going shotgun biwire (even without bi-amping) delivers great improvements in nearly every aspect of the sound when dealing with the big Legacy's. They seem to really love having large amounts of great quality copper to drive them.
