I think I have finally ironed out my system - once my subs are done for my 2 channel it will be complete...

Everyone told me I was crazy but I have had the same amps and preamp for 4 years, the CDP for 2 years and the speakers for 2 years...

Loving it still and only gets better!

    Eh - Just did not have anywhere else to put them to be honest and really just had nothing to put on the shelf! haha

    I have no dvd or blu ray player and I got rid of my cable since I never watched TV (literally had not watched in almost a year and a half) so yep - deemed it the crossover/driver shelf...

    I like the orange wall paint. Where can I buy some orange paint? :biggrin: :tongue:

    Looks good, Trey. :wink:

    Home Depot sells orange paint. Lowes sells blue. I think that's the way it works.

    I know its just supposed to be just about the music, but ..... I like that shelf with the guts on it. :redface:
    Nice gear.

    Instead of orange walls, I'd suggest black, if it is still available. Somewhere.

    I know Menard's has green, that might work too. I bet Ace Hardware has black.

    Very nice, especially the Odyssey stuff. I'm a big fan. Kismet monoblocks - impressive!

    Thanks guys!

    The orange is actually not what the pictures depicts - the orange is much darker in normal light and the lighting in the room is real even (but low light) with 4 equally spaced 40 watt bulbs in the room... :)

    Thanks for the compliments!

    I really like the Odyssey and Tyler sound - they work together this is for sure.

    Looks awesome Trey & would love to hear it.

    I couldn't tell from the pics if you are still tilting your speakers back using a cd case?

    Thanks! You are welcome anytime.

    Not anymore - the Super Tower's tweeters are about 4"+ higher than my 7u's tweeter so it achieves about the same results without tilt.

    I use to tilt them and realized after a bit it threw everything off because of how tall they are...

    Will note any of the shorter Tyler speakers sound much better with tilt... imo
