Description

Finally finished my dream theater 🙃🙃🙃.  All the components are hidden and can be sealed under the stage and out of sight.   I beefed it up w all the cooling fans in the rear of the components to keep it cool.

So far it’s breaking in nicely.

  Hi @caphill

Fantastic!  Ill research on the McIntosh.   Ive always liked these amps.

Are you using any of the amps you suggested?

Thank you

Hi @caphill,

I will look into your suggestions, Thank you.  

Would you know which of the amps you suggested are XLR  (Im running all balanced in my system) output?  

Stay safe!

Hi @caphill 

Its actually does make a click (a light relay sounding click) once it passes over 50 volume. Since I keep the volume between 65-75 I don't encounter it anymore once Im listening.   Perhaps the others are hearing a different sound from their units.

The system is still being broken in....  If I hear anything else, Ill post it here :)

Hi @caphill ,

Thank you for pointing that out.  I missed that!  Im using a Sony UBP-X800M2 4K Player (Ill add it after this post).  

I did consider using other multi channel amps.  The issue I had was that most of them were only 5 channels.  My current setup is using 6 ceiling speakers and 6 surround speakers.   I would have to buy 3 pcs of the 5 channel amps, only to have 3 unused channels ( I could bridge them somehow...).  The other issue is that my stage underneath could not accommodate one more amp.   I originally wanted to use the Audio Research modular  multi channel amp (same as my other system) but I found out they were discontinued  :( 

The Classe, Rotel, and Parasound amps are definitely all upgrades and something to look forward to in this never ending hobby of ours :)  

Stay safe everyone!

I would like to add that I did make a mistake on the height of the 2nd row platform (the chairs arrived a month later).   I only elevated it 6 inches originally so I had to build an additional 6 inch platform -which is still a bit low.   I think 14-15 inches for this particular chair is ideal.

I had those made using 3/4 inch wood backing and 2 inch foam inside.  I stuck it to the back wall via Velcro.
