Two Channeling With Zeus and Leo

Thanks lightcapture. I have a Cary sacd player that used to serve as my primary digital source (with a Mac mini connected to one of the digital inputs). Now that's parts of a second system, so for the time being I'm using an Oppo BDP83 and letting my Anthem D2v handle the analog conversion.
 
Looking forward to see how your room and 2 systems come together. Looks like your tv is mounted on a rolling commercial stand so I'm wondering how the Anthem and digital sources interface. Keep us in the loop as it reaches fulfillment.
 
That room screams projector. I love watching this system evolve. Who, may I ask, was the Etsy builder?
 
I haven't seen a TV stand like that before. It looks like a great idea for your space.

Thanks! It's called a TV Easel. I wish the wheels were a little bigger, but I love the form and function of it.

The Cary preamp has a theater bypass, so the Accuphase can drive my main speakers either through the Cary or, using the HT pass through, the Anthem. I also have a Parasound A51 that powers the surrounds and center. For now the Oppo is just connected to the Anthem via hdmi, but I'm holding out their native 4K version before I upgrade to something like the 105D. Then I'll be able to run my Mac mini like before, with 2 channel stereo directed to the Cary and multichannel to the Anthem.

It definitely screams projector. I might go that route when I'm ready to upgrade to 4K. But I also like the easel. Decisions, decisions..
 
You realize I'm jealous as hell about your system - and Z doggie seems to be enjoying the hell out of it. Does he like head banger or rap music????? <G> (He looks like a head-banger to me)

Really looks great and I bet it sounds better than it looks.
 
Moved things to the short wall. Slight improvement...

New cabinets..

Swapped out my custom cabinet for two new ones. I loved that piece, but it was just too damn big for the room..

Still playing around with the sub, but I think I've got the speaker placement dialed in.

So far, the acoustics are already much better than my previous house. I think the wider speaker placement and higher ceilings have had a lot to do with it. No complaints from Z either..
My father is redoing his listening space, which features a fireplace. I linked him to this post as inspiration. Thanks for helping us out with your photos
