0 One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Back in the days, I was into auto sound. Soundstream, Boston Acoustic, ACS, Sony, & Harmon Kardon. These days I settle for what comes in the vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Hydroservices 14 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 For the home you cant beat a good Onkyo TX-NR1000 receiver with some B&W 800 Series speakers. For the car of course, an Alpine receiver with some Rockford Fosgate subs, MB Quart speakers, and two Boston Acoustics GT42 amps. That’s just my 2 cents...

0 JFife 14 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Into theatre moreso than sound, and sometimes the two go hand-in-hand. I have a sony 57"highdef, and this winter I may start the sound process. Right now it looks like Denon receiver and Klipsch speakers, but still shopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Jon, Denon/Klipshc is an excellent combo for home theater. For mid-fi gear Denon makes a kick arse receiver. Here is what I have in my movie room: Front Mains are Mirage OM-5's driven by twin monoblock Adcom amps pushing 600 watts apeice bridged to 4 ohms. Front and rear center channel s are OM C2's. Rears are omnipolar Mirage OM-R2's. I have two servo controlled Velodyne 18's I have had for ten years and they still shake my foundation. I used to be very into car audio competing. Back in the day it was Precision Power amps, MB Quarts all around, Eclipse head unit, stiffening capicitors separate battery with 160 amp alternator and four JBL tens in a band pass enclosure. I miss those days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 JFife 14 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 LOL, i've never heard of any of those brands/products, so they must be good. What kind of screen do you have?? Plasma, actual projection?? Were you into the whole rice burner racing, or just audio?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 seymore 90 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Damm you ROCK Ken :cool: My home theater dosen't rock like yours but i sure love my Sony 43" Hi-def flat screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jon 533 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Only thing I have is a 12 inch BOOM BOX in my Pick-up truck with dual amplifiers with super after market speakers. Now I can HEAR and blast the hell out of the kids when they drive up next to me with their boom box blasting I just turn mine on and BLAST the punks away.

0 CLASSICPW 14 Report post Posted July 3, 2005 If I had the cake I'd be one, but my parents(in their 50's) had some sort of mid life crisis thing and went and spent almost $10,000 in Tweeter ( a high end audio/visual shop). 62" Dlp TV, Polk audio, Denon Home theater.........it sounds insane! When I was younger I was very much into car audio. I entered an contest once and right before I was to be judged my then girlfriend called with some stupid emergency and I had to abort. My friends later told me that I would've won hands down because the low end frequency they were judging on was where I had excelled. I had about 15 spl more than the guy that won. He got a 4 ft trophy, I got a stupid girlfriend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RyanH 14 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 Nothing beats my Bose Wave Radio with Rachmaninov or Liszt tickling the ivories and a dark room. Better than any television program! Wife wouldn't agree, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
