dilznoofus Audioholic Intern May 29, 2007 40 0 0 Raleighwood, NC Oct 22, 2007 #1 I live in a tiny condo, so everything goes where it goes, and then I try to make it work. Clicking on the picture will take you to the full size composite image. From left to right, a Maggie 1.6 on some of Grant Vandermye's stands, hiding in the rear is a Van Alstine Ultra 550, forward and on the floor are a pair of Outlaw M-2200 mono-blocks that drive the surrounds, above and mostly out of the picture is a Maggie MGCC-1 (driven by a third M-2200), below that is a Sony KDS-R50XBR1. Below the telly to the left is a McCormack MAP-1, which is a pure analog 6 channel preamp. Over to right are the sources, a Marantz DV6600 universal player and an old but extraordinarily sweet sounding Rotel 965BX. Off to the right is the monolith from 2001... no, wait. It's the other Maggie 1.6. Out of image are the subwoofer and the surrounds. The sub is a Mirage MS-12, the surrounds are also by Mirage and are the 190is models. Interconnects and speaker wire are made from COPPER, a rare and quite remarkable material. I suggest y'all look into it. More pictures here. I look forward to the day when I actually have some room to set it up like it ought to be set up.

dilznoofus Audioholic Intern May 29, 2007 40 0 0 Raleighwood, NC Oct 23, 2007 #3 It does okay. What surprised me at first was just how good football games sound when I run it through the system. There is gobs of sound that the TV apparently just "eats" in some fashion.

I agree. While watching my Chargers STOMP all over the Raiders last weekend, one of my buddies kept freaking out when you'd hear clapping coming from the surrounds. Pretty cool.
