Nice space! I so hope for you that the BIG BAD Adante center channel finds a home in your beautiful space. A full Adante front would be killer! Those towers are massive!joecoulson wrote: »

It is on my wishlist. But unfortunately not in the cards for me as it would require a major overhaul of the center rack. Which presents nice symmetry with the setup. It’s a beast and would make EVERYTHING move off to the side. Not worth it. The Def Tech CLR is no slouch and serves very well in that spot.

I hear you... much of the time the space dictates whats possible. Def tech does make some interesting products. I had my eye on some Mythos stuff for sale locally but backed out. Just not going to be happy until I make some speakers for myself. So, hopefully I'll have some big 50" tall monsters (Like your Adantes) with open back mids in the room at some point. Then there are subs...still deciding between two sealed 15's or two sealed or ported 12's.joecoulson wrote: »It is on my wishlist.

The tape on the floor give it a lot of audiophile cred. Looks good.

Those look like some robust stands. Any info on them? -
They're Pangea DS400's. Very stable. I haven't filled them. Yet.See my profile for list of gear.

Why such small speakers for the system? There is plenty of room for larger speakers.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

Those are Graham Chartwell LS3/5's. I rotate two other pairs in the system. Nola Boxer 2's,and Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. Both are larger,however I find something truly magical with those little guys. They're like crack!!See my profile for list of gear.

My new 2 channel/ht rig. Trying to build a worthy hybrid setup which will probably mean a preamp with ht bypass but enjoying new it in its current state at the moment. Pretty impressed so far. These 707’s are fun to listen to.

Zach, I can attest to the Parasound P6’s integration into a hybrid. Beautiful bass control of you use a sub.

I dont like that I can no longer click on people's pics to enlarge them. Guess that came with the new update??? Now I have to get my glasses on.

Why such big speakers?
9x13 is pretty small. Easy for the bass to get out of control and the sound in general to become congested. Small speakers are perfect.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

3D imaging is really important to me. Being a small room,I can't get far enough away from larger speakers to accomplish this. And yes,larger speakers do overpower a small room like this. A couple of Years ago I had a pair of EPI 180's in here. I absolutely loved those speakers,but they were just too friggin big for my room. They did everything well except imaging. Sadly they had to go. My wife and I live in the house I grew up in. My listening room now, was mine,and my brothers childhood bedroom. When I was 16,I purchased my first pair of 180's. I had those stuffed in the bedroom with,2 beds,a dresser,a chest and a nightstand! Loud was my priority then. I can still remember my father pounding on the door screaming at me to "turn that $h!t down!!" Ah,fond memories.See my profile for list of gear.

Interesting speakers. I've seen then in some of your posts. How would you describe the sound?See my profile for list of gear.

What kind of power do they require to sing?See my profile for list of gear.

Lucky you my dad just went to the basement and flipped the breaker to my room... BOOM BOOM OUT GO THE LIGHTS and stereo, black lights on psychedelic posters....Damn it was DARK! -
What kind of power do they require to sing?
I heard them on 35 watts? of tube power and they did well.
In anticipation of your next question, yes they even do Cannibal Corpse pretty well.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.
