Description

System was built over two years, slowly, "bargainfully", and with lots of trial and error to make sure it blended in the overall acoustic signature of the entire system.

The room is a family room, so it is not only very challenging acoustically, but with the kids running around, cannot get it as a dedicated theater.

However, it serves as a very good HT setup, as well as a decent two channel and multi-channel rig. I kept the Proceed AVP2 because quite frankly it is hard to find a better processor for music nowdays. Thus, I use external switching and decoding for all the new formats, and feed it to the Proceed.

The Subs are the kings of this setup. Flat to single digits, tuned to 12hz, they are huge and an eye sore, but they sound exquisite.

I will upgrade the Bluray player to the denon 3800 or similar for internal DTS-MA decoding, but other than that, I'm set for now.

Awesome! Frodo would be proud. Although the actual LOTR film soundtrack was mix/monitored using my sub it is no match for your two DIY EBS behemoths!
