Home Audio System (Music/Movies)

[AOD_RTMPro]

Anyone else here into home audio systems?

I absolutely love audio! I'll happily answer any questions about products, setup, installation, etc. I've got a lot of history in A/V, but, I will never admit I know it all. If anyone else has experience with A/V, they'll back me up when I say, "Two heads are better than one!"

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City is a must! If you want a great musical experience.

Master and Commander is a great movie to enjoy in standard 5.1 surround sound.

Master Audio surround sound still has subwoofer issues, in my opinion. But, The Dark Knight Rises does really well with MA and picture. People could argue Avatar, which is great for 3D. The audio isn't too bad either. But, compared to The Dark Knight Rises, Bat Man beats the Na'vi every time!

Diana Krall would have to be my absolute favorite for live music. Superb, absolutely superb. Doesn't matter if you have a cheap audio setup, it still sounds good!

I've only got a decent mid-range setup myself ($5,850 NZD):

Samsung PS50C7000 (Full HD 3D Plasma Smart TV)
Onkyo TX-SR706 (AVR)
Sony BDP-S5200 (WiFi Blu-Ray/DVD Player)
KEF Cresta C (Center)
KEF Q-500 (Fronts)
KEF Cresta 2 (Surrounds)
Polk Audio RM-6750 (Satellite Surround Backs x2pr (9.1))
Sony SA-WM40 (12" Long Throw Sub)

I'm running the 2prs of Polk rears in parallel. They're an 8ohm speaker, but I'm running the Onkyo at 4ohm. 2 x 8ohm speakers on one channel = 4ohm. It's not "TRUE" 9.1, but, it still adds a great aspect to whatever I'm watching!

Everything except the KEF Cresta speakers are mine. The Cresta speakers actually belong to a very good friend of mine & are on permanent loan. Also on loan are a Polk Audio 8" sub & Harmon Kardon AVR (pre HDMI). I will be using those in the garage, "Man Cave", along with a Boston Acoustics center, Earthquake RCS-650 Fronts (homemade), Polk Audio rears, projector (TBD, my Sony 3LCD died), and a 100" screen.

Oh, I also have the Asustor AS-202TE. An awesome product! A/V sync issues, but nothing you can't fix within the XBMC app. 1080p playback and HD audio via HDMI, can't complain!

If you want great monitor speakers for your music, look for Dynaudio deals.
