    Not a setup per say (although there is a Sonos in there) but had to show this one off. Custom built ins in the dining room.

    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!

    I'll just leave this 65lbs brute here to egg you on! LOL!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Interesting speakers. I've seen then in some of your posts. How would you describe the sound?

    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.
