Did hell just freeze over or pigs just fly.
As that recent commercial says, yes, yes and yes
I never thought this day would arrive.
Well, I am probably ill with something and went mad
And, now it matters not what some might say
Very nice set up. It seems you like JBL. What models are those ? Are the subs custom ?
Well, since I am not a teenager I go back a few years
When I listened to some speakers in Philadelphia back then, I liked the JBL sound over some others and built the center speakers. Back then they sold the drivers and drawings for those inclined to build their own.
Those are the C51 Apollo speakers.
Later in life when the surround came on scene, I expanded to the Ti250 and just couldn't give up my first born speakers that I built
One of their 15" subs that matched. Their 18" was just too big at the time
The second sub with the lamp on it is an identical copy by me and driver from JBL. Both unpowered.
How do you have everything wired up ? I see some external amps which look like older Yamahas, and what looks to be an Onkyo 705 or 706.
Before the receiver made it on scene, I had the early Shure Brothers prologic surround processor that needed everything else, hence the amps. Since I had them, couldn't part with them and like the power light flashing, even if it is behind me, it is put to use. They are the Mx1000 power amps. The onkyo 705 is new since Br doesn't have a mandatory audio code like the DVDs had or the HD-DVD has. I need a processor to do the new codes and DTS. The old 939 is at the bottom driving the rears and left/right speakers. Top amp drives the two subs, the other the center speakers. All channels EQed. HD and BR players now only. Had a Denon 6 disc cartridge CD player that is retired for now.
