I'm replacing it with a SinglePower MPX3 SLAM. I'm getting an older version, but the only difference is the chassis... the internals are the same. New ones start at $1200.


Anywho, I got new speakers yesterday I don't have any before and after shots yet, but here's a before shot:

you might recognize my HD580's and PPX3 in that shot

here's Sadie (cat) and Delilah (dog) helping me unpack my new speakers

my new center channel: Onix Reference 100

and as my wife put it, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear:

from left to right: Onix Reference .5, x-ls, Reference 1 LE Monitor

Zee was a little late to the party, but she made up for it

Sadie likes boxes...

Some speaker wires that I made for my mains and center... good speakers need good cables

and some flat cables for the surrounds


Sadie really likes my new speakers

Zee thought setting all that up was hard work...
*faints*

Is that TV table thing from Wal-Mart?

Oh, they're SR225's. I is newb.

yep lol... I spend my $ on audio and on a nice isolation rack... who cares what my TV is on...

but I need a new one... my center is really too heavy for that glass shelf! And I can't fit full sized components side by side. there just isn't enough room. I need something like 3-4" wider, and maybe with a 3rd shelf just for my center! lol. I'm looking for something cool, then I'll put that one in the bedroom.

Sup Audiophiles. I ordered a set of ath A500 headphones. Was this a bad move or is there a better one in the range of 90-120? I chose the A500 because they are closed air designed.

How much did you pay for the A500s? You can get the A700s for $118 before shipping.

I just plugged my Beyer's directly into my card (finally got it working) and there was a pretty good improvement.

You can't really look at specks to compare headphones. The A700 is a nice compromise between the A500 and A900
