Describe your HIFI -system

[SEAWOLF97]

Well, all I can say is, if that's your place pictured in your avatar,
you need a BIGGER main system 'WOLFie!

the acoustics suck ...there is a hole in the roof and walls could use some work too , but the view of Athens (no, not Georgia) is fantastic...

Integra DHC80.1,3x 4636LF, 2360-2446J 2404H,12 x 8340 Surrounds, 2 x4645B, BGW 250D's,250E's,& 750B's 16 amps...7600 watts

The sound system is a result of purchasing the older stereo equipment from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry

WOW ....can we come over when you're done ???

My wife didn't understand what - 8 dB means. But she does, so she's always ready to see where I've got the level at. Really typically we never go louder than -20 to -21 dB.

And it all got started by looking for 18" 2245H's my friend from the Museum had, he complained that no one wanted to pay shipping, I said "I'll take all 12, drove down from Milwaukee and went to south Chicago that evening; and a friendship was made.

Fortunately they went IMAX, and I picked up on all their BGW and AB Systems amps. Bob at Precision Electronic's (owner of AB International, AB Systems etc) had just done 7 x 713's for the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum this past November prior to renovating the three I have in January; so they have pretty good provenance. BTW I got l all their old JBL Pro drivers; and all thier NOS speakers as well (2445J/2446J, 2404H, 2202H, 2204H).

My wife had some doubt, but was sold over when she heard the system.

Dayton SA1000 sub amp

Speakers:
Front- 4.5 cu ft vented cabs with BD15 woofers, QSC-style waveguide with tymphany 1" compression drivers (it's a hell of a smooth combo)
Rear- Occam Audio MTM4

Speakers get played with pretty frequently, so a week from now the fronts may be dual 12" subs per side (NHT) with diy bipole/dipole waveguide coax system (JBL 328CT w/waveguide baffles, front and rear firing, open sides)
