Which seat do you prefer?

I prefer the left corner one on the couch. Centered between my fronts, and thats where I set my receiver settings from

The front soundstage

Welcome to the newbie :)

Unboxed

I waited for a long time to find a matching center. Unfortunately, this one is Piano black. But you'll see in a moment why it won't really matter

Sans the grills

Self-made Stand

The real one costs $400! And on top of that, isn't available anymore. I went to Home Depot and made this for less than $15
I think it looks decent.

See how it disappears?

Magnificent set-up!!! I appreciate someone else out there runnin' harmon/kardon

You have a great eye for photography. The first pic looks professionally done. Sonus Faber makes some beautiful speakers. I heard a few diff sets a while back at a showroom. The quality of their build only begins to speak of the craftsmanship and dedication involved in making them. Great job on the upgrades, you doing it the right way. Your speakers will last a long time before the need to upgrade them hits!!! Unless you want/ need/ got to have towers... by then all means we won't stop you!!!

Very nice setup! A lot cleaner than your previous setup.

adept777  » Sep 24, 2012 06:02 PM

Hii! Thanks for your nice comments. You have a wonderful setup yourself! I like your choice of colors and interior decor.

Very classy. I like!

Very very clean setup man. People are sleep on Sonus Faber, in all honesty some of their speakers sound better than B&W. Plus they are not as expensive. Besides that i love your warm setup, i know it sounds awesome too.

your set up is amazing yourself. I have my center speaker on the bottom because the components will not fit on the bottom shelf because of the wood legs.

Nice and Clean room!!! Love your speakers (I'm Italian)

CRAZYKAT  » Sep 06, 2012 08:23 PM

Nice tidy setup you got there+is that the poster for the movie about Abbie Hoffman on your wall?Love your gear,can't go wrong with either marantz nor harman kardon:)

Ubhatia  » Sep 06, 2012 02:18 AM

Wow just awesome.

prerich  » Mar 27, 2012 01:31 PM

That's so much better!!!! Great stands!!!

Clean setup in a nice room! Congrats on the speakers! The only SF loudspeaker I have had the chance to listen to were a pair of Cremona Auditors. They sounded like a dream..

Nice apt set up! To answer your question, I'm not familiar with the specific amp you've referenced, but I've had my RMB 1075 for close to 4 years now without issue and have enjoyed it tremendously. I think if you were to go with the one you're looking at, you'd be happy with the decision, and I don't think it'd leave you wanting for more, but without having heard it, I can't say 100%. Good luck on the decision

Thanks for the comments! You have a great setup as well. To answer your question: I was running an older Klipsch RW-10 Sub but sold it a while ago, as of 2 days ago I have a new SVS PB12-NSD on it's way. I'll post new pics when it's all setup

ldgibson76  » Feb 26, 2012 12:02 PM

A very elegant design and set up. Congrats.

ak_ka  » Feb 26, 2012 11:54 AM

Thanks guys. As for the speaker stand, credit goes to Callas01 for pointing me to them

ejusted  » Feb 26, 2012 11:41 AM

The concertino domus is a great looking/sounding speaker. It's also the perfect speaker for that room size. Nice choice in speakers stands as well.

djflex40  » Feb 26, 2012 11:28 AM

I love it your set-up is sweet..10..

ak_ka  » Feb 26, 2012 11:12 AM

Haven't found it yet. I got the speakers at an incredible deal from a co-worker, but the center is proving a bit harder to find. I keep scouring the net and audiogon. On my list is an Amp as well, as these babies need a lot of juice.

ninjafoot  » Feb 25, 2012 05:43 PM

Nice setup i don't see a center speaker in your setup do you have one or plan on using one?

sonic_debauchery  » Feb 25, 2012 08:21 AM

Very clean set up. I really like the eloquent simpleness of the space. Those speakers look amazing, i bet they sound amazing as well. Their quality looks to be top notch as well. The HSU sub really fills that space i bet. NICE!!!!
