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.
thanks Rhlazz... actually, a lot has changed since I posted this.
Gone are those two towers, and in are a quad 18" sealed setup. Also, the 2 channel setup has changed... a pass labs X2.5 pre + a pair of Pass Labs X600 Monoblocks are doing duty, together with a Cullen modified PS Audio DAC.
Hi Mike. I will probably sell the 802's in the next year or so, and start working on the Arvo's. I don't have a build thread for them yet, but you can see them here: http://audioworx.virtualave.net/APDrivers.jpg
