Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

Years ago I remember I wanted to try them but never ever getting round to it. I think at the time I went with either Nordost or QED

My Kimber Kable I purchased pre-owned from the bay, 10 meters cost me just under £200. The current equivalent is around £600 retail for same length, so huge saving buying pre-owned. The 4vs I'm using is entry level in the Kimber range but I was surprised by it.

Finally managed to get an ex-demo naim uniti core for ripping my CD collection

There are much cheaper options, but I like the naim app, and the ripped CDs automatically show up on my Naim Muso etc

It was time to retire my NAD C352 from pre-amp duties and get something a bit better...

Makes the Rotel look a bit cheap I think... and so the upgrade cycle continutes

I'd worry more about the wallpaper than that Rotel!

Having too much fun buying new hi-fi to worry about re-decorating

Besides, when I decorate the room I'll lose my listening space. I'm not sure I'm ready for that sort of commitment yet!! (This room is next in line to be decorated)

2 new DIY 18" subs to replace 3x12" subs. Sounds awesome.





And 2 new power amps to replace the 4 amps previously used. Certainly a workout lifting them up a ladder to my equipment shelf!

 

[hornetstinger]

How are you amplifying & EQ the subs? Active with plate amp or passive with rack amp?

 

[bjorkiii]

Dont answer hornet.

 

[1pudding1]

Haha, its fine. Rack amp, 2xCrown XLS 2002 bridged & MiniDSP. Managed to get an absolute bargain from ebay, and got 4 of those XLS2002 amps for £600.

"Honey, I've cancelled my gym membership, saving us money, as I'm going to do my workouts with the new amps I've bought, which were definitely cheaper than several years of gym membership"

Here's how mine's looking now.

I am cursed to have messy cables as they cannot be below knee height or the bunnies will chomp them

Thorens TD 160 Mk2 with a Denon Dl110 cart and solid oak plinth.

Rega Fono
Wiim Pro Plus
Naim Nait 5i2
Naim CD5i2
Falcon Acoustics IMF100

Spinning Rumours at the moment, been a while!

I think I would move the controller and put the series X the other end. More space for the hot air to escape… ?

Doesn't get used enough to warm up tbh, use the PS5 when I do game. Which clearly needs to be moved to the right

 

[hornetstinger]

Added a extra sub - Now 9.4.4 system

Will have to measure and work and what's best, two, three, or four subs- as I understand it it's not just "plonk subs anywhere" even if you time align them all properly. With so many big subs limited where to place them.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Why would you need 4 subwoofers. Are they crap or something ?

Lol no. Not all the same size, but the smallest is still a quality ported 10" 500" ported box , THX subwoofer, 33kg. Biggest is 15" THX Ultra 1800W, and 78kg. At least they're all ported box by the same company as mixing sealed & ported can be an issue.

Pics?

Why though how much bass do you need or how big is your Cinema.

Kind of reminds me of the Max Power car years…..lol

Additional subs spread the load better and offer a more even distribution across the space. It's not all about the 'boom'.

Fair enough but 4 of them I don’t think my local cinema use that many.
