Whats In Your Living Room System!!!!!

Mitsubishi DA-A7DC power amp
SAE TWO PA10 pre
SAE TWO T14 tuna
Design Acoustics PS-10 speakers
The little lady has pretty much clamped down on any other gear in the living room.
 
Audiosource Amp Three for Mains
Audiosource Preamp/Tuner Two
Cerwin Vega V-12F's for Mains in a two channel setup
Cerwin Vega LS-12's for backup but not in use
Sony 5 disc cd changer
Audio Research Interconnects
Monster Cable 14 gauge Speaker wire


As you can read or see, this is just a basic 2 channel setup which is plenty for me and fits my needs and as mentioned that's the one of the whole points of being in the audio hobby.

Nice system Rich

I like the ottoman!What ever happened to the Ottoman Empire?Did the Laz-y-Boy people invade and take it over?

Alan

Well, actually, Alan, if you check the pic closely, you will see that it is Chuck Rodent (costar of Caddyshack with Bill Murray) who took over the Ottoman Empire. He is in charge now :D
 
Let's see, a Mitsu big screen 60', Yamaha home theater receiver, 2 def tech bp 2000's, a radio shack center, and an old NAD 7600 receiver.
 
Here's my living room setup:
Thorens TD126 Mk.III tuntable
Ortofon Super OM40 MM cartridge
California Audio Labs CL-10 CD changer
Kenwood KX 1030 cassette deck
Carver H-9AV Sonic Holography processor
McIntosh C 712 preamp
Yamaha CT800 tuner
McIntosh MC 7270 amplifier
My speakers are Joseph Audio RM25si upgraded with the Mk.II crossovers. Since the picture was taken, I've added a maxed-out PPA headphone amp, Beyerdynamic DT831 and DT880 headphones, plus Sennheiser HD600 headphones. The Beyers are the preferred cans in this household.
