our current mcintosh rig

Nice setup there HFH. But those amps look a little small. And only 1200 wpc? You need bigger amps. I bet that's one sweet sounding system. Congratulations.

I agree,the 1,200 watts isnt enough once the Mc2KW amps start showing up used i'll have to grab a pair.

I kinda like the "retro" look. What I can't get by is the price?

Knocking 70's porn is just wrong.

Oh I'm not knocking 70's porn at all. I'm a big fan of Vanessa Del Rio, Lisa DeLeeuw and Oral Annie.

As oposed to the beautifly styled mass market gear that all looks no different sitting in the rack than a vcr,or amplifier manufacturers who's idea of "style" is a plain black face

To each his own i guess.

Style is very subjective; just like art. I like the futuristic, sleek, plain, black face look.

Then you should be all set,now me, i find nothing interesting or motivating in anything plain.

Friggen computer

Ive been trying to load pics of my new listening room half the damm day & this stupid Dell computer wont let me,the thing crashed last week & i had to do a total restore now i cant load any pics from floppy disc.

Dell support wants me to pay then $45 before they will even talk to me because im out of warrenty,i aint payin.

I can allready see that this things gonna end up getting beat with a golf club

I'll get it fixed or smash it to bits & buy a new computer,either way i'll be uploading new pics soon.

 

[highfihoney]

I got it now.

Since buying the new house i gave in to the wife & scaled down the main system,this is the current system,the set up is more for WAF than sound.

With the main system scaled down im left with a bunch of gear that i can put together another dedicated listening room in the basement using the JBL'L250-TI's that ive got,that will be a winter time project.

didn't think you were the type to play games.

killer killer looking amps btw

you realize your amps are bigger than your front speakers
(how much do amps like that cost? what power rating?)

 

[dilznoofus]

There is no equipment made by anyone, anywhere, any when that presents better than McIntosh.

It would also appear we have similar tastes in music, if your displayed artwork is any guide to what you play.

Hi Mike,i like to play RPG's if i can find one that interests me,i also like shooter/war games,the game on the screen is Resistance-Fall of man for the PS3,my favorite was the Legacy of Kain & Soul Reaver vampire series for PS2.

The amps are 1,200 watts each at any ohmage & can handel peaks of 5,000 watts,they would of cost $22,000 for the pair had i bought them new,i watched & waited on Audiogon for over 2 years for a killer deal on a pair to pop up,i got this pair for $8,500,i love it when super rich people get upgraditis

Right now the system is strictly 2.1 channel & little Mcintosh XL1's that are in front are not in use,i have another pair of them that i have to get around to hooking up for rears,once i get that done i can hook it all up to the processor using the HT Pass through on my preamp & have both a 2.1 & 5.1 in the same system.

Thanks for the compliment,as for music i like pretty much everything but my preference is Jazz, Fusion Jazz & blues but i do like Classic rock & Heavy Metal too ,along with an occasional trip into the more exotic & less heard stuff like David Allen Coe or Blowfly.

Of course Frank Zappa is my alltime favorite of any style.
