Thanks. Hmm, I'll post them here on AH a bit later.

Looking good Rick I'd love to hear that stereo setup with the JBL's some day.

 

[westcott]

And my stereo.

How old are those JBL's and where did you get them?

I like!!!

The turntable looks really nice, reminds me of yesteryear. Nice setup all around.

 

[Duffinator]

Thanks.

Those are my DIY JBL ZD 007's.

The cabinets are late 60's Barzilay.
The badges and legs are late 60's JBL.
They are loaded with:
Waveguides: JBL PT-F95HF
Compression Drivers: JBL 2452H-SL
Woofers: LE14-H3
Custom built xovers modeled after JBL 4430

So while the looks are vintage the contents, and more importantly the sound, are current state of the art from JBL. I though you've seen them before? You can read about them here on AK.

Acutally I had but I had forgotten until now.

That should tell you something. They still catch my eye even if I am half asleep!!!

Great stuff!

Very, very nice. Both setups.

Thanks, PM sent. I wish I could have gotten one of the JL Fathom subs RMK was selling earlier this year. The sub is about the only piece I want to upgrade in the HT. Maybe a SVS PB13 Ultra will find it's way in there next year.

do the pic locations make sense where i put them?
(everybody thank Duffinator for the pics again, because some of his thanks got lost when some posts were deleted)

there should be some new SVS sealed subs coming out (if you want the small form factor) but the even the PB13Ultra in sealed mode would be great for an audio system.

 

[Duffinator]

Perfect, thanks!

What's Up? I'd probably cost more to ship it to you than it's worth. My kids would miss it though, they love sitting on it when the blow up the sock in Monsters Inc.!

I hope you're going to ween them off of that... could seriously screw up a kid later in life

Here are updated photos of our dedicated music room. Last weekend I painted it and added the GIK acoustic panels I got from RMK. I share the room with my two eight year old musicians in training.
