    That looks fantastic! I presume no problems setting up the Adona? How do you like the fit and finish? :)

    Man, that is awesome...

    But one thing I would do for ur next upgrade

    a CDP....

    Those Yammers dont skip worth anything, but they are very vieled.

    I had one similar, if not the same one and I replaced it with the Denon DCM-280 and I wouldnt ever go back...

    HUGE difference.

    I really was thinking about a CDP..

    But I really want a killer one..

    which one..?
    Dunno....

    I don`t want to have to upgrade it for a loooong time...

    what does the denon go for ?

    I also thought about a tube CDP , but was advised against it...
    from a very reliable source...

    I love my tube pre, so I don`t see a tube CDP doing much for the overall sound...

    If you drink enough shots out of the blue bottle in the corner, you become an audio elf. You just don't remember it.

    Great setup!

    What would they sound like if you could get 'em all going at once? Hmmm.... the helicoptor assualt on the beachfront village in 'Apocalypse Now' comes to mind. Then, you could do a few more Corralejo shots and go surfing. :cool:

    Beardizzog,

    Looks awesome. One question for you though, how much of that booze are you drinking lately? You sir have been on quite the spending spree. :D I only notice 'cause I'm doing it too, but dang man, each day, beardog has got a new toy.

    Looks great. Maybe you should be hosting Polkfest. :)

    Ya I know...

    I have spent a couple of years collecting, but Recently I have been burning up the ol cards (nice raise this year), spending my yearly bonus, and dippin into the savings acct.

    the wife is none too happy, but I broke my leg a few months back and decided it was time to rekindle the ol flame...:D
    since I had a lot of sitting around time on my hands...

    I will be selling some of the stuff I`m not using pretty soon, to pay for a couple must have items...

    funds are running low, but enthusiasm is still high..!!

    The 80+ mph speed boat that will be here tomorrow will probably have to go soon..:(

    Made a killer deal a while back, and now I have re-alocated funds for the "sound room"..!!

    They Harley stays though...had bikes all my life, and getting rid of the putt is not an option....

    Time to start expanding your selection of speakers....ah, it never ends.

    Robert, you have done things at the start that take other people many many months or years to complete....buying the right gear, the first time around.

    Everything else is just tweaking and playing around, enjoy yourself.

    I`m thinking about the LSi line...
    a pair of 7`s and 9`s would be nice...

    would have to let some of these go to do it though...

    I also have a couple sets of 15`s in my other room !!
    one is the rt15, the other is the rt15i

    i assume you're using a digital camera, correct?

    in the menu of your camera will be a setting for the size of picture you want. the best setting for posting pictures here in 640 x 480
    that's a good size so that the pictures aren't to large to fit on here.

    with your pictures i downsized them with a program called ACDSee. it's a very simple picture manipulation program that allows me to make pictues smaller. but it's so much easier if you start with a small picture in your camera instead of going this route.

    I would pick the best of the RTi and ditch the rest. The LSi line is a nice start, but don't rule out other manufacturers.

    You'll never form a informed opinion if you just dance around the same campfire all the time. In store demo's don't mean shite, real world application rules all.

    Haha...

    I use to keep getting speakers from the RT line...

    Then I decided to try something else...

    Polk is a great brand, but there are tons of other great brands out there too...
