Vintage 2 channel in my theater room

I've been upgrading, tube rolling, moving speakers and amps in and out and here's where I'm at currently.

Sunfire Classic Tube Control Center, Carver M500 amp, NAD 525Bee CDP, Maverick DAC, and Vandersteen 2C's. My theater system is separate and not in the pics, aside from the center channel. My main amp for this system, a Carver TFM45, is getting renewed currently. I have 3 Jan/Phillips 6922's rolled into the pre and am getting ready to order some more.

Thanks! I was taking some pics last nite but couldn't find my tripod. Found it this morning, so maybe I'll get pic or two of my other systems. My home theater consists of an HK AVR247, Acurus 200x3, Paradigm Mini-Monitors, CC290 Center, and Micros for the rears along with a Velodyne Sub. My office has more vintage pieces. Normally its a Carver combination of the M500 amp, CT6 pre, and SDA360 Cd carousel playing thru BA A60II's (I bought new in 1986), but since the 500 is in my main system, I'm using my newly refurbed Carver HR732 receiver with enjoyable results. Stacked on the HR732 is a newly refurbed HK 330i that I bought new in 1981. I'm getting ready to put it in service, but I'll miss my remote.:thumbsdn: In my bedroom I have a small HT setup with a Yamaha AVR playing thru Paradigm Micros, CC50, and Yamaha sub. Also in there is a Denon AVR1400, PC and Niles speaker switch. It feeds music to my master bath and bedroom via Speakercraft inceiling speakers, another pair of Paradigm micros in the kitchen and my BA T930 towers in the great room.
 
Here's a few pics of my office setup. Right now I'm listening to the HK 330i that I bought new in 1982 thru the BA A60 II's I bought at the same time. It's not as dynamic as the Carver HR732 below it, but it's been with me so long, what's not to like?? To the right of the receivers are my Carver CT6 pre and Carver SDA360 CD changer. Listening to The Doors, Eagles and Van Morrison in the changer right now.

I may have been too hasty in the not as dynamic comment. I've been listening for about an hour or so, and since it's been warmed up, it's sounding sweeter and sweeter. Very enjoyable for what I remember as 25wpc.

Very nice setups! Hard to go wrong with rack handles. Does the 1st setup bother you having the units so close to the floor?

Thanks!:thmbsp: No, not bothered at all. My wife and I are the main users and it a very purpose specific room. No horsing around, etc. I could get the units as high as the center channel if I built another rack, but I'm partial to this one, at least right now. Hope you didn't just put the 'malooch' on me!:nono:
