Steve81's Theater

So...is it more velvety?

 

[Steve81]

You'd have to hear it to believe it; it's like a veil has been lifted and instead of the Brian Johnson we all know and love singing, it's like an angel from heaven....

Wait - angels don't sound like that? Then what the @%#$ was that thing the other night?!?

 

[Adam]

Btw, I just learned that using the ampersand symbol (at least in a fake curse word ) adds in the word a*mp and auto links to it.

Congrats on the Outlaw. Wicked nice. Finally some pics of the speakers without grill, now I'm happy. Is that a Onkyo or Pioneer receiver?

Thanks! Receiver is the Onkyo 707, which gets the job done.

I knew I recognized my past receiver, which never failed me.

Ordered a pair of these this weekend for the bedroom setup:
KEF Q100 Bookshelf Loudspeakers. Free Shipping on the Q300 Bookshelf Loudspeakers.

Should be waiting for me when I get home

My eyes failed me for a second. Thought you said bathroom setup. Zoinks. Congrats they look classy.

Alas, I have no music to soothe me when I'm using the facilities.

I re-looked at your setup. Do you have a fan in the back to keep the components cool?

I've got a pair of silent 120mm fans on top of the receiver and a single 120mm on top of the amp to help with airflow. The doors of the cabinet are perforated metal and there's also a big strip of perforated metal at the top rear of the cabinet to allow for venting. All said and done, nothing gets much more than slightly warm to the touch.

 

[afterlife2]

Phew! Didn't want those beauties in heat. I use a fan too, but I might not need it since I have like 10" of space above. I'm also very precocious, so...
Looking forward to to pics of your new babies.

Didn't want those beauties in heat.

That is so NOT my motto.


Nah, not as good as the original, but I couldn't help myself. (Clip should have ended around 15 seconds.)

Looks great Steve. Nice clean little bedroom setup, very nice.

Thanks! My future plans include attaching an Apple Airport Express to stream music (may ditch the Samsung player at that point, but we'll see) and possibly adding a sub to fill in the low end, though the Q100s do fairly well on their own in my space. Actually, I might do a little DIY dabbling and repurpose the woofers in the old bookshelves to a sub/bass module (Adire Extremis 6.8s). Never ends....

What fun would it be if it ended

Well I could just sit back and enjoy what I have... But instead, I've got a "little" project arranged to turn the Q100s into "poor man's" R300s with a bit of assistance(OK he's doing it all...) from a guy I know of in Bethesda, MD
