This is my audio listening station:


An old Kenwood amp


A pair of slightly modified Advent Loudspeaker Cabinets (originally 8" speakers, swapped for 12") and a pair of bookshelf cabs I made. The little bookshelf speakers are only there because the pyle drivers produce really nice treble.

Computer:
SB Live! > Harmon Kardon AVR 210 > Panasonic SB-AFC20s or Etymotic ER6i's
KX drivers are kernel streaming to the HK, and the speaker runs are a DIY star-quad

Bedroom:
Sony MDR CD player or iPod > Yamaha CA-800 Integrated > Sansui SP-3000s
The Sony is a piece of poo, the it's all I've got for now. Yammie is running in Class A, and the speaker runs are still my star-quad

Soon to be:
iPod or Sony MDR > class-T amp > Panasonic SB-AFC20
I'm building the amp. It's most likely going to be class T, but I could always spring for a tube if I get some extra cash. These probably won't use my star-quad, as I'm out and I think I want to try some Cat-5 runs. I bought 3 pair of the Panasonics, so I'm set with those. I fell in love with the tweeters.


Here are the Sansui's with my old Kenwood KS-4000r. The reciever is now dead , but the Sui's are still alive and kickin'.


I'll get some pics of the Yamaha today.

@Chipp: Those sansui cabinets are crazy. 3 tweeters, a horn, a midrange, and a 15" to top it off? Wow, I want those.

Done.

I'll add some standards to the first post so it does not look as messy as the first thread.

I run some Altec Lansing 2.1's, some Sennheiser HD477's a Creative Zen 8Gb and sometimes I'll run an old Merantz Receiver with 210Watts per channel RMS into 10" subs. Shakes your eyeballs in your skull :P
