My system
« on: April 04, 2010, 10:50:22 AM »
My stereo and HT system crammed into our little living room.  My albums are in the dining room.  Hopefully the new casa will have a man room.

Hi Rev

Nessicity is the mother of invention.  I wonder if you used the nears in your ht system if you could not simplify a little.  If your ht system has front channel outputs or even stereo from your cable box run into the aux of your stereo would let them play as front speakers, though balancing the ht side may be a little difficult.

That being said, I respect anyone that will go to the lengths you have to have both surround and stereo.

Good luck with the new pad, are you moving soon?

Thanks Dale.  The HT system is running 7.1 off of the Pioneer Elite sitting on top of the stand.  I tried running that in stereo and it doesn't sound good to me at all.  I'm using the TFM-6CB to power the rear speakers.

I'd rather have two separate systems.  I don't think having the NEARS run in conjunction with the little KLH cubes would sound very good but I haven't tried them.  I'm trying out a TFM-25 from the shop but I was originally using a Crown amp.  The Crown's built in protection would recognize if it was hooked up to a set of speakers that also had a path to another source.  The only way around that I guess would be a speaker selector and I don't like the idea of another junction/connector that might create signal lose.

We've been in the process of house hunting for awhile now.  One of the main factors of finding the perfect home would be to have a separate room for TV and one for just for a stereo setup.  Thankfully I have a very understanding wife.

Very nice set up.  Yes, I have to admit, it is nice being able to have separate areas for the different set ups.  I wish I could isolate the 2 channel rig from the rest of the house a little better - you know to crank it up without disturbing the rest of the house.  But, they are separate enough that my wife can enjoy the HT and I can enjoy the 2 channel rig.

My new mancave.  Still in the works but the system is up and running.  The wife nixed having 3 sets of speakers in the room, she said it's "too much".  I got her to agree to 2 sets.   :D
