Hi all, Im sat here listening to my setup at last happy with the way everything sounds after nearly two months of fetling. The setup is built around an Onkyo 805, PS3, old Philips CDR 870 as CD transport, an Apple tv2, a PS3 for bluray and a wii. Speakers duty comes from MA BR5's, BR1's as surrounds on 100cm Atacama Nexus stands, a BX center (couldn't find a BR in walnut) and a REL T3 sub. For reasons unknown to me, the sub wears my housemates boyfriends hat. It anthropomorphises him quite nicely I think. Passive radiator you say? NO, its obviously his face...
The BX center integrates really nicely with the rest of the setup really nicely, but not a fan of the clean lines of the BX range. Im sure the chassis design is better, but I really like the industrial look of the BR series. The T3 is lovely, the high level input is a great upgrade over the BR-W10, and as a result is very musical.
Cables are Chord Rumour 4 for the fronts (bi-amped using side channels) Chord Rumour 2 for the centre, and Leyline for the long runs to the rears. I have QED Classic hdmi, and a Chord something or other optical for the Philips.
Got this Alphason TV stand off of ebay, really happy with it. Cost a smidge over a ton, includes a bracket (rented property, cant drill the walls and beside the fact the amp sticks out three inches out of the front its great!
