Audio Set-up

[balibago]

There is a thread like this, but under the social group "audiophiles". I thought it will be a good idea to make it a regular forum thread.

Similar to the thread about "desktop set-ups", here we can share pics of our beloved audio gear.

Here's mine, this is my first time posting pics, I hope it works:

Nice! It is also good if each poster can put a detailed description of their setup.

I misunderstood the thread. was expecting music making gear, like guitar amps & what not. anyway, nice set up.

Hmnn... interesting.
Does this have any difference with home theater audio?

Or is this thread seriously music?

Newbie on audio and working may way into an HT setup. More setups please.

I forgot to include a gear list. I was too focused on figuring out how to post pics.

Here it is:

Speakers: B&W CM8
Preamp: Rotel RC 1550
Amp: Rotel RB 1552
Source: Macbook Pro 13"
Interconnects: Generic RCA cables that came with the Rotel RC 1550
Speaker cables: Rocketfish terminated with Monster angled connectors
Power conditioner: Panamax M4300

There are a lot of people who have one set-up for listening to music and enjoying movies.

Generally, audio set-ups are two-channel, i.e., you only use two speakers, and HT is multichannel set-up, typically 5 or 7 or even 9 speakers. So, any HT set-up, can also double as an audio set-up, and still be quite good. But the reverse is not quite true, since surround sound is tough to accomplish with only two front speakers. But I'm almost certain somebody out there can do it.

generally, music is best listened to in stereo as the audio set up is only meant to simulate listening to a live performance, where a band or artist is on stage (performing in front of you).

it's the same concept for music production. panning & whatnot are made with this idea in mind.
