    Awesome! I'm so jealous. I love the B&W sound. Been checking local ads for a pair of Matrix 802. One day I will get my Beemer:loneranger:.

    You have a great set up there. Enjoy bro.

    Really nice set up....but my first question would be..why the sub???

    That looks like a massive sub, for that size room..not sure i get it, or that you need it??



    From your pic...it looks like your only sitting at max 6 feet back from the speakers.

    Now I'm not a fan of subs for 2 channel music..and that one looks massive. But if you like it..well thats all that matters...LOL

    Just a dumb question as to why you need it in that size room....do you feel your missing bass out of the B&W's ?

    It is Massive. its one powered woofer and two passive woofers. It will end up in the theatre next weekend. I think I will get a small B&W ASW608. The CM9s do have a strong solid bass but I like a deeper bass even in a small room (with only three walls)


    current sub is a Genelec HTS3.

    I love it. B&W, Rotel, and Classe are all buddies ( AKA the "B&W Group"). So when you see B&W you will most likely see a Rotel next to it.

    To me, Rotel and Beemers don't go together that well. Want to hear what those CM9's can do ? Throw some tube gear at them and you might crap your shorts. Seriously....Beemers can sound good on SS gear, but only very good SS gear. Just my .02

    Tubes make everything sound awesome. Maybe for the holidays I will get a tube amp. I did want to get a new TV this year but a Tube amp would be awesome.

    No, not everything.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Nice setup. I have a question. do you have any issues listening in such a small room. The reason I ask is because I have been considering making a listening room out of one of my bedrooms. Its not very big. Larger then yours but not by much. Your room is the first smaller sized room setup for 2 channel I have seen.

    Because they all take correspondence courses for their Law degrees while their serving their time behind bars! lol

    Nice looking gear. Even though I'm not a fan of B&Ws; they sure do look pretty!

    Not to hijack, but my HT is in an 11 x 12 room. The TV is a 57" rear projection, front speakers are PSB Synchrony One towers, rears are LSi15s, center is a PSB Synchrony One center sitting on top of a PSW1000 sub in front of the TV. Left wall has equipment rack, right wall has two bookcases for DVDs, a couch is along the rear wall, and a coffee table in front. It actually works pretty good, but I had to put some acoustic foam on the walls to tame it. It sits three comfortably.
    Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
    Sony XA-5400ES SACD; Pass XP-22 pre; X600.5 amps
    Magico S5 MKII Mcast Rose speakers; SPOD spikes

    Shunyata Triton v3/Typhon QR on source, Denali 2000 (2) on amps
    Shunyata Sigma XLR analog ICs, Sigma speaker cables
    Shunyata Sigma HC (2), Sigma Analog, Sigma Digital, Z Anaconda (3) power cables

    Mapleshade Samson V.3 four shelf solid maple rack, Micropoint brass footers
    Three 20 amp circuits.

    Only difference I hear from my last room (that room was 17x25) is that they do not need to be as loud. I only have to turn them up so much when I really get into it. I think I like it better. But its been to soon to tell yet.
