Exceptionally clean setup. Very nice. Where is the Hsu hiding?

You have a great system there! Whats to be gentle about?

 

[peko]

Thanks guys. The Hsu is barely visible in the first pic, with the magazines/catalogs on it.

Very clean, well thought out, and looks to be a good value...what's to be gentle about? That is unless your cables cost more than the rest of your system

Do you feel that your room is a little bright?

 

[riceaterslc]

awesome setup, really clean like everyone else said.

how do you like the 990? i've been waiting for mine for 3 weeks now, boat needs to speed it up a little

Is it ok to run that wire along the base of your fireplace? Unless you plan on never turning it on, then it wouldn't matter. Just wondering.

 

[peko]

I never use the fireplace, so it's not an issue. I don't want to find out otherwise. I'm renting; otherwise, I'd run the cables in the wall (and mount the rear surrounds).

Cables and interconnects are Blue Jeans or, until I found BJ, Monster. That's as exotic as I'll get.

The room doesn't seem bright to me, but in the future, I'll probably toy around with some treatments to see what's the effect.

I'm really happy with the 990. I think it's well thought out. I like that it's not overloaded with features I won't use. It works and, most important for me, sounds great. I'm sure there are other pre/pros that sound even better, but for my fairly unsophisticated ear, I know I'm starting to reach the point of diminishing returns. The wait is a killer though, as was (for me) sneaking out of work early to beat the Fed Ex guy home and sign for the darn package.

HMMM,be gentel,im confused you have a sweet lookin room with all your gear well laid out,your rig looks fantastic & i'd be willing to bet it sounds fantastic too.

nice job!

 

[JaceTheAce]

How do you like your Outlaw 990? I'm thinking about getting a 970 with the 7-channel amp combo. Seems like a great value.

 

[catacon]

Very nice setup! Very clean and the equipment isn't bad either.

 

[masak_aer]

Can't agree more. Very nice setup.

 

[majorloser]

VERY NICE SETUP!

I really like the equipment rack. I always liked industrial looking racks and stands.

Now if you buy another VTF-3 you'll have matching end tables (just kidding).

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

Peko,

Very well thought out & positioned setup. My only suggestion is employing the use of a few acoustic panels. The combination of room brightness and square shape lend it to being an acoustic nightmare of a room.

For example, if you placed a 2x4 panel in or F/R corner behind your rack, F/L on the piece of wall by LF speaker, one laying lengthwise behind center speaker, one on each first reflection point on sidewalls.....

Wow, it would take your already well thought out setup, and dramatically improve the sound. You'll be shocked at how much it cleans up the bass response and overall clarity. If you can do the back corners too, it would be even better.

Good luck, and enjoy the new toys

 

[DDigitalguy06]

Very nice setup. ,but i have to say i feel sorry for bosten on that game. can't belive lAA beat the crap out of them. go angels?:

 

[minnichs]

A clean set-up that is sure to please when listening to music or watching movies

 

[Ax-man]

Peko nice and very clean setup, I really like it ... great job!

P.S. ... Take a listen to Buckeye_Nut regarding the acoustic panels, I did and they do work.

 

[westcott]

Very well done! Nice and clean and not overdone.

I am sure everyone enjoys the show!

Congratulations!

Everything has been said.....







....matching end tables, LOL.

Looks very nice! It looks that you're using plastic wire loom for wire management. I much prefer TechFlex. TechFlex F6 and FlexoWrap are both great products (I use them at work for workstation cable routing). The FlexoWrap costs more and must be cut with a hot knife, but it has a velcro-close side so it won't pop open like the F6. Either route will give you a very professional look.
