JBL Performance Series

[Mr. Widget]

Poster on the HK7550HD thread @ AVS said he got a demo in the high end room at Northridge. They had the yet to be released 7550HD AVR connected to some Revels and it had headroom to spare.

The "high end" rooms I saw at Northridge weren't using AVRs.

I wasn't there, just repeating what another poster mentioned. This was just recently.
FWIW, the 7550HD is HK's top of the line AVR.
I would have thought they'd only be using separates, but who knows.

I may know soon.

I'm hoping to get beamed up to Northridge once the Synthesis® install is done. My very first visit there was a chance to see and hear the Performance Series. Gosh, that seems like so long ago now.

they are finally here. I managed to pry another 2 PT800's and a PC600 out of T Domes tight grip when he had a moment of weakness. I now have my complete Performance 5.0 setup.

Now I have to work on the room. I have to do a new AV wall and window treatments. Here is what I have so far.

Ah, my babies have a new home. They look happy.

Congratulations!

Not when I recline but, I do plan on lowering the TV to level with the tops of the fronts when I build a new wall unit.

Hi All,

I just recently finished my basement, a project that I started around Thanksgiving 2008. One of the main items was the surround system and projection screen. I originally posted back in November asking some questions about the Performance series prior to buying all of the speakers. I received them about the 1st week of Dec and did not open the boxes until about the 2nd week of April when I installed them. I am thrilled with the sound of the system. I am more of a heavy metal rock fan and this system is awesome at concert levels.
My system is as follows:
L & R - PT800/PS1400 stacked, fullrange
C - PC600
LS,LR,RR,RS - PT800
Sub- (4) L8400P's
B&K Reference 200.7 amp (200w x7)
Onkyo 885 preamp
Epson 6500UB projector
100" Elite screen

I'll attach some photos.

Last set of photos. You can see the wall mounted side speakers and the rears behind the couch. The equipment rack is built into a wall that has walk behind access.
