10 months ago, I was given the chance to build a hybrid home theater\ 2 channel system that would hopefully satisfy my upgraditis for a very long time. After going back and forth about different speakers and components, I settled in on Monitor Audio. Everything else is history.

TV - 60" Lg Plasma
Fronts - Monitor Audio GX300s
Center - Monitor Audio GX350C
Surrounds - Monitor Audio GXFX
Subs - Definitive Technology Trinity Subwoofers
Pre/Pro - Denon 4311 running in Preamp Mode
2 channel Preamp - Cambridge Audio 840E with HTBP
Amps - Bryston 4bsst2 2 channel & Bryston 5bst 3 channel
Sources - Marantz NA7004 Network Player - PS3 - Denon DBT1713 Universal 3d Bluray Player - Direct TV HD Receiver
Power and Protection - Dual Panamax 5400PM with Voltage Regulation
Remote - Harmony Link with iPad, Iphone 5 and 4s
Stand - Altura Lowboy Stand(Currently have the doors off until I get the smaller faceplates for the Bryson Amps
Cabling - Audioquest Rocket 33 Biwire for front stage - Subx - Diamondback Interconnects - Forest HDMI - NRGX3 Power Cables
MISC - Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Gigabit Ethernet Port -

Wow is the only word that can explain this subwoofer

These are my dedicated 2 channel components

300x2 in 8 ohms. Very nice amp

Home Theater Components

This amp runs my center and surrounds. Conservatively rated at 120x3. Bench test papers that came with amp says it is 150x3.

This is a beast of a Center in size and sound. I love it.

Insane subwoofer. I love my pair

30 lb beast of a surround. The best surrounds I have ever owned or heard. They immerse you with sound. Absolutely love them.

Thanks to Hamp, I was able to mount these beast with no problem.

Both Amps are using these Power Cables.

Fantastic looking set up, your a lucky chap. I owned the CA amp and loved every inch of it, im sure with the Bryston amps in the equation its a lovely sound, also the gx are a fantastic choice. I was lucky enough to audition the pl's and they were out of this world 10/10 from me mate

You know your equipment.

Solo man  » Jan 16, 2013 11:26 PM

Nice equipment and I love that bryston amp. I envy your 2 channel setup. That is a sick rack.

chingon510  » Jan 05, 2013 05:54 PM

Amazing super clean! I bet it sounds incredible great job!

ejusted  » Jan 05, 2013 02:48 AM

Awesome rig!

solarrdadd  » Jan 02, 2013 09:53 PM

Perfect, not one thing there that I didn't like! top shelf and yes, i love the bi-wire & power cables! My front 3 are bi-wired too! your setup is very clean too!

bighouse  » Dec 18, 2012 11:04 PM

That is truly one impressive system. Must be like a dream to come home and hear that everyday. Two thumbs way up!!!

4x12  » Dec 17, 2012 01:30 PM

great setup!

rkolinski  » Nov 17, 2012 04:52 AM

Beautiful setup and you definitely earn a 10 for the 2 Definitive Tech subwoofers!

kuatolives  » Nov 16, 2012 04:37 AM

Wow, lovely setup! Sure it sounds amazing for HT and sublime for 2CH! Love my MA Silvers...the Gold must be on a whole 'nother level with that tweeter, though....

ejusted  » Nov 07, 2012 08:22 PM

Those surround speakers are something else. At 30lbs a piece they must pack a punch.

TCR Alliance  » Nov 07, 2012 01:20 PM

Beautiful, very very nice setup!

WillGehring  » Oct 29, 2012 01:35 PM

Wow, amazing gear. Two Trinities?!? Great stuff.

ejusted  » Oct 29, 2012 01:08 PM

Loving the new pics man.......Everything looks great!!! That center channel looks real sexy!! I like it a lot. You've done an excellent job revamping every thing. Outstanding!!

B.Hulk  » Oct 29, 2012 09:19 AM

Man! That is one beautiful setup. The MA's look fantastic. Congrats.

lswope00  » Oct 29, 2012 08:35 AM

very nice! you did it this time. those monitor audio speakers look amazing.

Tech-UK  » Oct 29, 2012 07:51 AM

Superb setup, wonderful equipment, we share the same love for AudioQuest! 5/5.

TECH_TEST  » Oct 28, 2012 09:22 PM

Great gear! Clean setup. Nice idea with the dedicated 2-channel stuff. A+

crazyBLUE  » Oct 28, 2012 09:06 PM

Great looking Home Theater. Must sound amazing with the sound system you have put together

ldgibson76  » Oct 28, 2012 09:04 PM

DB, the new setup is spectacular! Excellent design and configuration. This ensemble is definitely an improvement over the previous setup and that's saying a lot because your last system set a very high bar. Congrats on a job well done.

Spurrier Sucks  » Oct 28, 2012 08:44 PM

Outstanding! Great setup and I bet it sounds awesome!

DerrellB  » Oct 28, 2012 08:39 PM

Thanks guys for the compliments! @kevon - rest of the pics are up. I havent taken the skirts of the subs yet. lol @xcapoeirax - The subs are amazing. Best subs I have ever heard. Thats not saying much though :-) @HTG. Thanks man, might have to get you to drop by like you did with Spurrier Sucks and make sure I am dailed in. @Prerich - I was able to talk the wife into 3 panels and 2 corner bass traps. They have to match the maroon color that is in the area rug.

prerich  » Oct 28, 2012 08:27 PM

This is a beast of a system...acoustic treatments next?

hometheatergeek  » Oct 28, 2012 08:25 PM

Just thought I'd drop in and give you an 11. Oh well gonna have to settle for a 10.

xcapoeirax  » Oct 28, 2012 08:03 PM

very nice setup!!!!! I always wondered what the subs sound like?!

kevon27  » Oct 28, 2012 07:38 PM

Brother, you've got one amazing theater. Bravo. We need more pix though - behind the rack wiring, shot's of your rears, the subs with their skirts pulled down (that last one just sounds ultra perverted)
