[zeuiax]

Holy jebus thats lot of speakers for that room

 

[AVKommonsense]

Just a little rearranging... Moved the subs into the closet.. Stacked (i.e. staggered) on top of one another... Also replaced the Denon with a Yamaha HTR-6160. Hope you like what you see... Oh yeah can't forget the collectibles... Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, The Crow, Jack Sparrow, Fantastic 4, The Hulk, Batman, Robin, Joker, Spiderman, Goblin, Superman, and NC State Wolfpack lol...

Since my bedroom system consists mainly of Polk Audio gear, I might as well post it here too... I moved my Athena Micra system to the spare bedroom... Also in the spare, I have a 32" Olevia LCD, Pioneer VSX-817, along with a Pioneer DV-393... I use that room mainly as my mixing room (i.e. for turntablism)... I also have my Vestax PMC-05 Pro SL, Numark HDX, Technics 1200, and Lenovo S10... I'll post more in the coming weeks along with my living room system... I placed my Velodyne VX-10's in the garage... Got to have tune's out there while tinkering on my car or making something out of wood lol...

exactly how many polk r50 cherrys do you own.. I've counted 37...

Well here's an update on my Mini Polk Audio set up... I decided to remove all of the Polk R50's from the room... I ended up replacing them with RTiA7, RTiA3, FXiA6, CSiA6... As you guys know I'm still running two DSW Pro 600's... I haven't fired it up yet, but I'll probably get around to it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm be adding some dedicated amplifiers by the end of the year. I narrowed it down to either Emotiva, Behringer, or Yamaha... Personally I'm leaning towards Behringer.

Well if there is anyone out there that is local (20 miles from Raleigh, NC) and want's some Polk Audio R50's in cherry (9.95 out 10 condition)... I also have the original boxes, spikes, grills, and manuals... All seven speakers for $300 firm (non-nego).

Looks great!

FYI, I am a NCSU Student, GO PACK!!

 

[Transmaniacon]

Man I am really considering those speakers, all 7 for 300...

I have just started my own home theatre, and just purchased a Yamaha RX-663BL Receiver. I have some Infinity speakers I got on craigslist (starting the used route and then upgrading), I will definitely be considering those speakers.

Well its good to see a fellow Wolfpack on Audioholics Red and white all day Just let me know if you're serious about purchasing them. As you can tell from my thread, I have a lot of Polk Audio R50's... Eleven to be exact in cherry finish... Along with one Polk Audio CSi25 center in cherry finish. I had them set up in two separate rooms. One a 7.1 set up and the other 5.1 set up (i.e. Polk CSi25) in another room. If you know of anyone that is interested in the remaining speakers (i.e. Four Polk Audio R50's cherry and one Polk Audio CSi25 center in cherry) please let me know. I have all the original manuals, grills, spikes, and boxes too... All in the same condition 9.95 out of 10... I'll let that speaker system go for $250 firm (non-nego)... I think that's a very good deal for someone who wants to get into home theater. I know how it is when you first start in this hobby... It can get expensive quick. Also worth mentioning... Maybe overkill for you, but I'm willing to part ways with all eleven Polk Audio R50's and one Polk Audio CSi25 center for $525 firm (non-nego)... So that's 7.0 system and the 5.0 system for $525 firm... Well take care and thanks for responding... Wolfpack for life... Go Pack!!!

Its tough being a Wolfpack fan at the moment, I think all hope is lost for this season...

On to audio; I probably would grab that 5.0 set in heartbeat, but I picked up some Infinity floor speakers and a center channel on craigslist, and am reusing some Sony satellites I had laying around, so I dont really need new ones (granted those Polk are much nicer, im still new to this and am content with used). If I can justify to myself its worth it, count me in, let me think it over for a bit.

[Lordoftherings]

Very cool indeed in it's simplicity.

 

[livinfast]

Very nice, can you even crank that sound up or is to loud?

 

[WVEAS]
