Gene asked in the first post " I would like to know, which JBL fan built the bigest - butt kickng custom 2 channel stereo speaker system? "
I am impressed that the High End systems are returning to 2 Channels.
Surround sound is great for Movie Theaters and even for THX Home Theaters, but the Grooves on my Albums only have two sides (Right and Left), and my cassettes only use two final tracks (right and left).
Well, The article on Daniel's system takes the wind out of my sails. In Fact all of the systems everyone has shown on here are awesome. The only advantage my system has is the fact that it is Poly Amped (5 different 500 watt amps) all fed by and networked through my computers Itunes Program for a total house experience.
Although each system is dedicated to a different room, they are all playing the same song at the same time through a full array of speaker systems as if they were all receiving their signals from a Tuner/receiver.
Unfortunately the most realistic sounds are reproduced when I play 33 1/3 Albums or Cassette Tapes through my Onkyo stack, but Digital Media still has its moments.
Only one of my systems is Two Channel, the other four systems want to surround me with sound. The Onkyo is by far my best sounding system and I showcase it in my living room.
My Kitchen is wide open and the very best acoustics are enjoyed while listening to the clarity of a piano or the Drums of Santana while cooking.
Individually each system lacks the Awesome Power and refinement of Daniels System.
I can not wait to see what other members will bring to the table on this one. The JBL/Altec Lancing systems that have been available for the last 60 years are enough to blow your mind. Paragons and Model 19's right out of the box trump my systems hands down.
Home Theaters are now being built first and the houses are designed around them. I am excited about your request and anxiously await the next responses to this post.
If I ever get the time I will post pictures, but most of my stuff is bland (Onkyo, Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood and nothing with tubes anymore.)
