KenW Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm patiently waiting on my daughter to head off to college so I can steal her room. I can visualize a rig very similar to that along with my headphone gear in a "private space" just for dear old dad. Til then I'm quite certain I'd not get the WAF on something like that. I'm envious. Beauty of a setup. I also love that finish on the speakers. Just a wonderful look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Congrats tkam. I used to have a pair of 22L's for stereo use and they were very fine indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 What do you think of the Monarchy M24 GE? I posted this elsewhere, but it really belongs here, so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'm pretty happy with my HT rig since adding the HDTV. The HK gear has been great. I'm pretty sure the 635 was mis-marked when I bought it, so I got a hell of a deal on that. The DVD-47 is a great universal player with excellent upconversion with the DCDi chip. I'm using Comcast's HD box/DVR in conjunction with my TiVo due to the combination of horrible interface and low capacity of the Moto box. Though I am looking forward to Comcast's agreement with TiVo to port their software into the Comcast STB w/ DVR which will also allow the TiVo Desktop capabilities of moving shows off the recorder onto NAS or a computer. And I have a new universal remote on the way to keep everything going.

n_maher Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Harmony 880 Universal Remote on the way. Say WHAT?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Say WHAT?!?!? The Moto remote BLOWS, and after juggling the 4 remotes on my coffee table, I decided it was finally time to step up. It's pretty well-regarded from everything that I've read, with a straight-forward, computer-based setup. It has fully-customizable activity macros and complete functionality for all the remotes it replaces, which is nice. And it's supposed to do very well with the DVRs, which is key. Amazon has a great deal on it right now, and with my Prime free 2-day shipping, I figure it's worth a shot. At the price they're selling it for, it definitely seems to be a great value and offers the best balance of features and price. I'll be sure to let you know how it works out, as it should be arriving Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Nice. I really like the look of the Quad L series speakers. I've seen that Bird's Eye finish in person, and it really is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yep the finish is really first rate IMO. The pictures hardly do them justice. On another note, I've been comparing the amp section of the Marantz SR-7001 to the Rotel RMB-1075 and I've been thoroughly impressed with how well the Marantz has compared.
