Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

[tcompton2]

'Nuff said.......
Mine coming sooon:D

[Mister X]

Wow, Duck someone cleaned your room?!.
That is the cleanest picture I have ever seen of it. :D
The HD497s on the center channel speaker kills me every time I see it.
I guess the Gerbil needs to get some headphone action. :p

[Tuvok]

OMG! Stop downloading pr0n. :)

[stuman]

its not porn... its ripped music...i mean backups or urrrm, well yeah ok its porn ;)

[zachary80]

http://s92403764.onlinehome.us/hardforum/audio/1.jpg

currently in 2.1 (don't want to buy stands and havn't had any use for surround lately anyways)

[NightRaven]

A reciever just for some Senn 497s? Or are you hiding speakers around there somewhere?

[agentzero9]

Well the speakers are for TV and DVDs. For music, 99.9% of which is played from my PC, I use the 497s.

[nullvector]

Nice to know a few other people are using 497's.... :D

And about the headphones around the center speaker, I do that to mine also to keep them from being too tight on my head. They're more comfortable after long periods if theyre already shaped a little wider than normal :D

[Chelica]

Stunman, what's up with the monitor, that thing is sweet. Samsung?

497, give me 2 weeks and I am going to purchase one. I have the HD202 right now, but am selling that one for the 497, Audigy2 ZS, and I-Trigue L3500. Soon enough.

[stuman]

is the new 152x 16ms responce in a 15" tft is what i was lookin for and got it with this aswell as a sexy lookin screen im happy :D

ps. u cant buy them in the us yet, , and there is only 1 place in the uk stocking them....

I love my toshiba (it's faster than those RCA's....)

Those are the Sony mdr7509 (http://www.sweetwater.com/mdr7509). They are very good headphones for what I was looking for, but I am considering getting some hd580's for when I am around the house. They are very comfortable, easily driven (like hd497), offer pretty good isolation, and good sound. They come with a screw-in 1/8" -> 1/4" which is pretty nifty, and after about a foot or two the cord is coiled (reaches about 10 feet).

The Sony mdr7506 (http://www.sweetwater.com/mdr7506) is the next model down.

edit:

here are some bigger (but much better) pictures of my setup:

Move those speakers to your side buddy if possible.

[emorphien]

hmm, im gonna have to take some pics.

[saturnine2]

That is one kickass setup X86. Where did you get that PPA? I'll be contacting you in a few weeks about that audigy mod. :)

[Chelica]

Jrmicon - Is that the Viewsonic A90f+? If so, can you bump your resolution over 1024x768 without the actually monitor flicker?

yeah, I run Windows at 1280x1024 with a refresh of 85 and have no problems, and I am someone who is really bothered by 60 and 75 refresh so I know this one is good

Is that like one of those trick questions? :)

[Hidaglio]

Lets see some more setups. Its great to see how people position surround speakers lol, mine are terrible but nothing I can do until my home theater room is done.

[Keith130]

Hey Hidaglio how big is that screen??? That thing is amazing. Ill get pics of my speakers when I get my 2 jamo ART's back.

[Keith130]

So I finally got round to taking pictures of my speakers, well I did get my amplifyer fixed but they screwed up on sorting the tuner so they are away again. Any way here are the pics.

This is my Beocentre 4600, a blast from the past but I like it. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-Beocentre4600.jpg)

Then the boring speakers my Creative P580's they're all the same. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-Creative.jpg)

My favourite stack of speakers: on the top one of the P580's, then a Beovox S30 and at the bottom a kickass sony thing. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-CreativeBeoSony.jpg)


These two sit in the corner of my room, a Sony Surround for my TV which I dont have the the moment and a Beovox S30. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-SonySRBeo.jpg)

This corner beside my chest-of-drawers has some amazin bass, probibly because of the sub. So here we have a Jamo ART on the top, underneath a Beovox S45 and the large one at the side is my Jamo SW3 - great bass. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-JamoBeoJamoSUB.jpg)

The other Jamo ART speaker with my Lamborghini Countach and the Hornet making an appearence also. (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/Keith130-JamoLambo.jpg)

[viper92086]

agentzero, i got a fix for ur tv tuner card (this is wut i did), take one of those cdrom audio cables (4 pin) cut it in 2 and solder that to the tv tuner card and plug it into the cd-in on the mobo.. now u don't have to worry bout seeing that ugly cable

[Duck-BOT]

Those are nice Keith but uh, would it be too much trouble to resize them?

Those are horrible to look at when they are that big :(

Or link 'em :)

[ozziegn]

here's a shot of my setup. they're Creative S700 5.1 GigaWorks which I absolutely love. they sound just as good, if not better than my previous Klipsch 5.1 Ultras that died after only having them for three months. :rolleyes:

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ozziegn1/desk.jpg

-of course you cant see the two rear speakers in this shot.

[towert7]

hot dam ozz!!!!

What in gods name are you using an electronic scale for? What is your night job? :D

Assuming that is an electonic balance in the top left of the screen.
Wow, now i understand how you can afford all this good stuff!!!

P.s, nice and clean set-up. six chears! HORRRAY!!!!

[Keith130]

yeh its my first time posting pics, I dont have time to resize them just now ill have to do it after school :(

I would love to see some more pics from anyone, especially if you have a set of the Logitech Z-680's. I need some ideas on where to place mine.:p

[Tawnos]

What a great set-up you go thtere zachary. I miss my old toshiba cable modem. ~_~

Anyway, what type of headphones are those?

Sony V6? V600?

And do you like them?

~Thanks
That's weird, those look like V600s to me. I have a pair of V6 (exact same thing as 7506), and they have a much more oval shaped pad, plus a slightly thinner headband.

I bought some senn hd 280 pros, hooked them up to my cmoy, and they are WAY better than the sonys. much truer, less colored, no icy highs. I'll be trying the beyer replacement pads when I've got a few spare bucks and some time... that might helpt he sony's a bit...

EDIT... i'm a tard... you said 7509, not 7506... excuse my 69 dyslexia ;)

[DeViLdUdE]

Can't post mine ryt now I sent my digicam to my siblings in the Phils. This should be on Sticky don't you think?? My speakers not so popular... on sig.

[stuman]

post it then....

ps. how you running those PA speakers at the rear?

[dwayne001]

You need to get some stands for those sats dude....like, your sounds ditribution is not so ideal with them on top of that big tv.

i should talk...my right sound channel is nestled between a lamp and my xaser.....pics tomorrow (from my ancient 1.3mp olympus brick).

[dwayne001]

Very Acceptable. Best layout I've seen so far. Although I'm a fan of more PC oriented speakers than the PC/Traditional hybrid setup. Of course with everything becoming optical, that's arguably an obsolete view.

You desk is interesting; it has no drawers....where do you keep your stuff?

[versello]

Tx. I tried numerous layouts before I settled with this. I'm eventually going to get a proper stereo stand.

As for my stuff, I keep it under my bed :D

I got the patio stones, because after spending 1600$ [bstock] I couldn't really afford anything else :D

And sniper, I'm 21, with my priorities straight, that's all [ramen noodles and high-priced audio gear]

[JackieO]

You know what I find works really well? Hockey pucks. I glued together 5 stacks of 2 then put them under my mains. Since they are hard rubber they don't scratch but hold them up really well with no vibrations. Plus they cost $3.99 for a pack of 10. :)

I wanted to get something I knew would be really stable, so that's why I went with stone. I don't like the idea of 80lb speakers piled on a tower of pucks =]

I bought the projector for $2200 back in March, but you can get it now for $1700 at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000D94JV/qid=1076991972//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl147/103-5732176-1804634?v=glance&s=pc&n=507846). I run it at native resolution, 1024x768.

Diablo111 - You got the same setup as I do, including the monitor.

How did you take the stand from the monitor off? I never knew that I could do that to it. Nice.

There are a couple off clips on teh bottom, push them in and slide it forward I believe...it's been a quite awhile since I took it off :)

I was worried about heat and other issues, so I e-mailed Viewsonic and they said it was fine and made to work that way...with or without the stand.

[d34dly]

Nothing spectacular but I love my setup...

Especially considering it's in a dorm room :D. Sorry for the crappy pics, wasn't my camera and I didn't feel like messing with it.

Yamaha 6.1 setup... The DVD player is hooked up to the TV (27in.) via s-video (until I get a component input TV ;) ). Ia m using the optical out on the DVD player. My PC's audigy 2 is hooked up using the Analog outs to the multi-channel inputs on the reciever. I am using 25 ft. minijack to RCA cables... long ass cables.

Just so everyone knows I worked my ass off over the summer to be able to splurge a little. No, I am by no means spoiled.

placement isn't perfect, but it's all i can really do right now... although if i sit about in the center of my room and face them the soundstage is still very good.

Wow, its like deja vu. That corner of your room looks exactly like my corner of my room minus the stereo equipment and some of the other stuff. I have the same exact door and CD rack haha. Even the light switch is placed exactly where my light switch is.

How are those Axioms, and which ones are they? I could possibly use another set of speakers for downstairs, and I'm open to trying something other than Onix. How would you characterize their sound? My ref2's are pretty bright, but I really like them that way. They are definitely brighter than the Rocket RS750's I've heard before. My friend has a Klipsch setup, but he didn't bring it back up to school with him, so I can't really compare it directly to them, but I remember that I think mine are at least as bright, but certainly cleaner sound [then again, ref2's cost more than his whole 5.1setup and receiver]

[emorphien]

They're the M3Tis and they're worth well more than the price IMO. The design is cool, and the lack of a crossover is also interesting to a dork like me. anyway

They are very smooth, but the bass still can attack when called for, much better than I had expected. The midrange is very smooth, and more natural than I'd expect and the highs are detailed but not too strong and not fatiguing. I find them well balanced overall. They sound great listening to some vinyl I've got like Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon, not sure if that makes sense but they've got a great ambiance that matches some records that a lot of CDs lose.

The transparence and the soundstage they create are great, they put you right in the music, and are smooth enough without much coloration that you can forget you're listening to them. Other than the sound quality, the build quality is great, very solid and the veneer is as well done as I had read about. At first I found the trapezoid shape weird but its grown on me.

All comments obviously biased somewhat by the price :D, I think these things are a steal. The sound will depend on your source and room dynamics of course but they just sound great in my room.

Of the entire Axiom line the M3Ti's are probably the least 'bright' but the entire line is pretty forward, a lot like Klipsch, so odds are you'll like them. You also might want to check out Ascend 170's or 340's.

[versello]

heh :p

[versello]

Is that a KSW-10 or 12?
nice setup. I really love my Synergy home theater

KSW-10. I think 12 would have been overkill for my room :D

Which Synergy's do you have?

All hooked up to a Sony DA2-ES (DD-EX, DTS-ES & 96/24, 100w X 6, etc...)reciever.

Heres a pic of my setup.... I got an n-gage for all my mp3 needs (128mb memory in it... wish i had an ipod tho : /) a 5 disc samsung dvd changer, 2 yamaha 3 way bookshelf speekers, and a really old pioneer reciever. A ps2, and an APEX 24 inch flat screen TV (its okay.. not as good as those 5000 dollar sony tvs) I need a sub that will plug into a stereo reciever, whats a really good sub for under 120 ? and also whats a good reciever for 2.1 and 5.1 and everywhere in between?

[Bgrngod]

Holy crap! I have the Z-640's and never noticed you could rotate the metal bases on them. I have been having to pull my rear speakers out from under my bed everytime I want to hear them, and putting them on my pillow and the foot of my bed. NOW I CAN JUST HAMMER THEM INTO THE WALL.....
this is good news....Thanks for that pic with the rear speakers over the doorway. Best thing I have learned all day. Guess I should have looked at them a little closer. I had this plan to build stands for them out of rebar or something. Hopefully my roommates doesn't get mad at me for putting nails in the wall (he just bought this house)

Alright, here's our setup. First picture is our plasma and our "mantle" design equipment area. Yeah, they generate a lot of heat. You can also see a bit of my dad's guitar and DVD collection in this pic.

Next pic is a closeup of the equipment.

Sorry for the pic quality. Took them quickly and I don't have the steadiest of hands.

[elite.mafia]

:eek: :eek: :eek: wow got enough recievers amps cd changers and dvd players? can u provide a list of everything in that beast? how much did it cost for all that equipment? damn thats a lot of shit... looks like you have 2 of everything :rolleyes:

[GaleForce]

I don't know everything offhand... my dad designed the system.

At our old house he designed another kickass system and then sold the setup for like 150k+ or something. Hes nuts.

Speaking of which I forgot to take a pic of all the recievers... BRB.

[GaleForce]

Here are the recievers. Another shitty pic cause my cam is broken and I don't know how to use this one;

http://www.wowbeer.com/brendar/recievers.jpg

[elite.mafia]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
dude thats nuts. why not just turn the music in one room all the way up? or is your house huge? Seems like a waste of money, but its kinda cool.

[GaleForce]

The crestron controllers requires individual recievers I think. Either way, my dad wanted it so that you could listen to a DVD in one room, the radio in another, etc. In retrospect he thinks it was a waste too because they make recievers that can handle more than one thing now.

Our house isn't huge... we live in a Condo.

[emorphien]

Sony :(

[BO(V)BZ]

You should take a look at the Denon 5805 [I think that's the number]

That receiver can power 16 channels, in any arrangement of rooms =]

[GaleForce]

I think we're gonna stick with what we have. Its not broken so why fix it? :)

[Mister X]

GaleForce: I am gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that 11, 60 meg pictures of your fathers system might be overdoing it just a tad here.
Care to resize them so they will load sometime in the next week?
Besides crummy picts always look better when they are smaller. ;)

[GaleForce]

They're like 500kb each or something.

[emorphien]

They're like 500kb each or something.
that's still unnecessarily big

[GaleForce]

I resized them don't get your panties in a bunch. :)

Its certainally smaller than 6mb though.

[Mister X]

Not happy with the 6 meg number?
Lets try 60 megs then :p :p

[GaleForce]

How about 600 megs? :D

[GaleForce]

Alright got the list together for you guys;

Pioneer Plasma (dunno model, I'll look later)

6x Crestron Color Touch Screens (wall mounted)
-1x for laundry room/garage
-1x for kitchen/living room
-1x for deck
-1x for master bedroom
-1x for master bathroom
-1x for loft

I think that covers most everything. Was more time consuming than I thought it would be. Anyway I'll answer any questions I can, take any pics if you want me to, and get any model numbers I missed if requested. Thanks for taking a look.

Yeah, and they are only 21 years old to boot :) Not an idea room (size wise) to put them in, but with the current placement they do rather nicely. And hearing them with EAX enabled games is awesome.

[Bugalaman]

oohhhhhh! how do they sound?

Secret feature?
What eacatly does the boost boost?

And how is the sound balance on them?

I finally got my new speakers - Modecom 5.1 - MC - AV2000. Here are the pics..

http://www.dami.pl/~mroczkowski/workstation/workstation_2.jpg
front speakers and center channel.. I really need to figure out what to do with the center.. I think I'll build a small shelf that I can put a monitor on and slide the speaker under it..

As for the rear speakers - I need to build or buy stands for them.. I do have them hooked up, but it's just temporary setup with one of them on the cardbox that the speakers came in and the other one on the floor.. (the pic came out really out of focus and I didn't have time to take another pic..)

The souncard is Winfast 6xSound.. but I'm going to get something with better 5.1 sound..

let me know how the pics work for ya.. I'm hosting them on my ISP's server..

Yes. Please give us more info. Sounds very interesting!

[TekieB]

Very very good. I found a secret feature too. Called Boost. You have to rotate the volume nob 360 degrees after the volume is full. Then you activate boost which boosts its very high. There are 11 Boost Levels.

http://liquid.liquidm3dia.com/images/boost.jpg

All I have to say is
"But these go up to 11!" :p


Pics of the system in our auditorium comming soon!

Perhaps those boost levels are for accelerated system death. 1 - 11

it's a Logitech diNovo. It uses the bluetooth base that comes with the Logitech MX900 mouse. (same as the MX700 except bluetooth) it comes with a smaller number pad with an lcd. You can make a few different things pop up on the LCD.. for example.. I can sit on the couch and read instant messages and see when people pop on. It can also be used as a media pad.. I can play, ff, rr, skip mp3's etc straight from the pad.

here's more info on it.

http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review1767.html

it was a little pricey when it came out (about $225-250! for the mouse and keyboard) but I found it online for about $125 for both.

[..::magnetik::..]

[draconius]

magnetik...

you don't know how happy that makes me to find that!!!
I have been looking for a keyboard that is wireless and sleek and visually pleasing for over a year! I saw that in your pics and had to know what it was.

Anyways, I bought one (at a similar price even :D) and will be getting it in a week or so....and when I get back to college and get it setup, I will post back pics!

but yeah, just a cool thanks for having it and pointing me to links :D :)

[Zylo]

I just bought the Klipsch Ultra 5.1 this weekend.. I don't have the surrounds hooked up yet, i'm awaiting on parts for my new PC (notice crappy 700Mhz Inspiron 8000 in background) so I can really hear what these speakers can do. They will hopefully hold me off for a while until I can get a set of Infinity Alpha's or Paridigm towers and surrounds and a nice receiver for my PC. :)

The cans pictured are well used Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's. I desperately need an amp, as my 250 ohm 'phones really dull the output of a soundcard. :(

Anyhoo, here is the pic:

each speaker has 2 amps in it, 25w to the tweeter and 75w to the woofer..
I am very impressed with the clarity and sound pressure these put out, they sound like much larger speakers.

That is a sweet setup you have there.
I am assuming that the M3PO unit under the monitor is an amp/cd player.

[magnetik]

thx. the m3po is a mp3 cd/hd player. With the m3po.. you can jam in a hd and dump the mp3's to the hd from the cd. I got a 250gb drive in there now. The reason I like it so much is that it can read ID tags which most dvd/cd players that can read mp3's can't. I also have a rack mount kit for it and it's nice brushed aluminum and has a remote.

[..::magnetik::..]

[Zepher]

All 3 of my car MP3 players read the ID tags, an Alpine, Premier, and a JVC.
How much is that M3PO?

Oh, and I cleaned up my desk and put the speakers up,

Nice.. have you broken the alesis in yet? I got the m3po for $199 on clearance.. List was $799 when it came out.. which was back in 2000 I think. My car mp3 players also showed id tags.. I meant home cd/dvd players tho.. The only thing I didn't like about my Alpine was that it took forever to fast forward through long mixes. (but that was a few years ago)

Well can I post this??

http://images.dr3vil.com/uploads/IMG_0314e.jpg


Will be upgrading my 2.1 to 5.1 but still can't decide between Klipsch and Logi 5500 or I could setup a HT setup like 2.1 and will be upgradable to 5.1 down part is I don't nothing bout them... If somebody out there can suggest the best receiver sat setup(2.1 for now and money not a factor as long as a piece won't cost me more than 500$) pm me or post a message here... I really want to make my room a entertainment room...

[jlee1]

Why does nobody mention the Z-2300s?

I was aware of the far, far superior sound of a low end HT system, but then I found that the Z-2300s were only going to cost me $100 with free shipping from ecost, so I picked them up, and they've been a huge upgrade from the JBL creatures.

Yes, if I had $300-$500 to spare, I would have gotten a refurb receiver with 2 bookshelves, but this turned out to be much more economical for me right now. No way in hell I'd spend that price range on computer speakers like the highend Klipsch or Logitech surround packages. However, Z-2300 speakers are pretty damn good on the computer speaker scale.

[jlee1]

ah, my bad. this should have gone in the other thread :-P

[jerb]

DeViLdUdE, whats that on the top shelf? a future project? it looks like a water cooled pc in a acrylic case but u aint done b/c the protective film is still on it. hope you post it when your done

Everyone has an LCD now, I must get one.

[DeViLdUdE]

Well that water cooling box is done but I dont have the guts to put a hole in my case hehe
well I'll do that once I get a wood drawer that can hold the case at bottom and WC box on top of it... maybe I'll end up doin my own from scrap wood.

[BossNoodleKaboodle]

Being an audiophile to the extreme, it angers me to see such things as improper placement.

Why do people use muddy stereo by having improperly placed "multichannel" speakers, when they could get two good studio monitors? Beats me but its just incredible how many people think it will give them better sound. How sadly misinformed.

I know. The point is i got speakers just few days ago, and the pic was taken as soon i've set em up. First I need longer cables for rear speaks, and 2nd figure it out where to put em, cos directly behind me is a big wardrobe and a tv. But anyway, the speaks are good as they are. They pack 2 much power even if the set up is totaly missed.

[mutazx]

I understand. As you can see, I'm stuck with 2.1 (sub out of pic) due to a lack of good rear placement. These are Logitech 560Z's btw.
