Showcase your audio/video setup here!......

Set this up for my daughter today.

Source: Chromecast Audio for now as she exclusively uses Amazon Music

Intermediary: DIY Tube buffer, thanks to our FM @yogibear

Power Amplifier: Adcom GFA-535mkii

Speakers: Spica TC-50

Still to tweak positioning within her room constrains. Just allowing the setup to break-in as all the components have remained unused for ages, especially the amp and the speakers.

Good one @Kannan
Sure your daughter is having fun with the rig.

Cheers,

Few weeks ago, rigged up a system out of components orphaned due to my system refresh last year.
Set it up in my boy's room. Now he has his own stereo and can listen to whatever he likes.
And he actually does for about an hour or so each day :D
The pic was clicked when I set it up; it has been tidied up a bit.
Stands are planned soon.

CCA --> Schiit Modi2 --> Marantz PM7001 --> Outlaw Audio M2200 --> Zaph Audio ZA5.2
The speakers were done by FM @manniraj and he parted with them; the rest I had at home.

Cheers,
Raghu

Nice work , liked the way the bricks are layed and go well with the table as well :)
 
Thanks for the comment @fLUX. My boy likes the arrangement too.
The stuff is from my gardening hobby. Stands are planned, just waiting to get the carpenter to execute it.
Covid pandemic has put these plans on hold.

This is my 5.1.2 setup which got completed yesterday. I have explored many options for HT but finally ended up with Jamo studio 8 series with Denon receiver.

Home Theater Setup - Jamo Studio 8 series
JAMO S805 - Front Floor Standers speakers
JAMO S801 - Rear bookshelf speakers
JAMO S81 - Center channel speaker
JAMO S810 - Powered subwoofer
JAMO 8.5 CS - Ceiling speakers
Denon AVR-1600 H - Audio Video Receiver
LG Oled 55 Inch B6V
Google Chromecast (for streaming Hotstar)

I could complete this setup on my own because of extensive reading in Hifivision, thanks to all forum members.

Hi Raghu,

Would you mind sharing details of speaker stands shared above. I am on the hunt for the same and are those filled with sand?

Thanks
Sound Foundations stands
Don't know the model. Bought them used when I acquired my speakers.
Yes, they are filled with sand

Cheers,

Nice!!!

One question: I see that your left front speakers is just placed next to the wall, and very very close to it. Are you not experiencing any booming sound or something? I have my Monitor Audio BX5, right speaker, close to the wall but not so close but it is still very boomy. For almost all listening/viewing sessions I have to move them so that the bass is controlled. Anything special you did?

Nothing as such until now. will observe closely and update later. one thing I did was keeping front speakers in some angle towards center to my listening position so that it will not hit the wall by any chance. Also this is my initial impression from few days of experience.

thanks for asking.
 
How do u rate the Jamo sub and its performance....

Sorry, I cannot rate by comparing with any other Sub as this is my first setup. but while watching Kong Skull Island opening scenes the room was filled with thumping bass. I'm happy with it.

thanks for asking

Nice looking setup. Guess you purchased from Cinebels

Thanks for the compliment. I have purchased it from Sterling, Ameerpet.
