Mike-48's system
My system is entirely digital and uses a DLNA home-network setup, with an Auralic Aries receiving digital streams from the network. The system is housed in a basement room that I designed with soundproofing help from a local acoustician.
The unavoidably low ceiling (7 ft) and narrow width (12.5 ft) favor speakers with controlled directivity, which the the Janszen main speakers provide -- they also are very clean and uncolored in the midrange and treble. The room's soundproofing results in bass retention, and thus strong bass peaks and nodes; I use a pair of JL F112 subs to help smooth those out, even though the Janszens in this room have strong bass response down to 20 Hz (probably lower, but my measuring setup goes down to 20). A Classe CP-800 provides preamp, DAC, electronic crossover, and optional EQ and tone controls. Missing from the photos (just back from repair) is a Weiss EQ1 mastering equalizer, which I find cleaner and easier to operate than the Classe's own parametric EQ. The EQ is used almost entirely to smooth the response below 300 Hz. The Janszens are driven by an AVA Fet Valve 400R. I've tried several considerably more expensive amps, and the AVA fits the Janszens better than most of them. Last edited by Mike-48; 09-04-2017 at 07:24 PM. Reason: Replace phoobucket images. l |

Mike.......That is a fine looking sound system in an attractive basement. I can imagine that system in that room sounds excellent. Well done.
When I lived in Portland many years ago I also had a sound system in a basement room I built. My home had basement windows at outside ground level very similar to yours. Just seeing that basement window in your one photo brought back a flood of old memories. I spent many hours enjoying music in that basement.
