I have been watching these forums for some time now and have based some of my buying decisions on information found here. I appreciate people sharing their experiences.
I should be receiving my CLX's this week or next but here is my Martin Logan system once it all arrives:
Speakers:
Front Left/Right - CLX's
Center - Stage
Surround Left/Right - Stages
Subs - (2) Descent i
2 Channel Setup:
- Krell Standard SACD (looking to upgrade to EVO 505 soon)
- Krell EVO 202
- Krell EVO 402
Theater Setup:
- Denon DVD 2500BCTI
- Anthem Statement D2
- Krell EVO 202 (Theater Pass-Thru)
- Krell EVO 402 (Front Left/Right)
- Krell EVO 3250 (Center/Surrounds)
Power Notes:
- Dedicated 20amp circuits for each Amp (402, 3250)
- Dedicated 20amp circuit supporting all other sources, preamps, processors
- Wattgate 381 wall sockets for all circuits
- Richard Gray 1200C for all sources, preamps, processors
- Kimber Kable PowerCord10 Golds for all power connections
Cable Notes:
- Kimber Monocle XL's for Front Left/Right/Center
- Kimber Hero XLR balanced for each sub (LFE for Theater)
- Kimber Here RCA Left/Right for each sub (2-Channel)
- Kimber KCAG XLR balanced Left/Right from Krell Standard SACD to EVO 202
- Kimber KCAG XLR balanced Center/Surround Left/Right from Anthem D2 to Krell 3250
- Kimber KCAG XLR balanced Left/Right from Anthem D2 to EVO 202
- Krell CAST (Transparent cables) from EVO 202 to EVO 402
- Kimber HDMI HD39 from DirecTV and Denon 2500 to Anthem D2
- Kimber HDMI HD39 from Anthem D2 to Mitshubishi WD-73835
Room Treatments:
- (4) Realtrap Mondo Bass Traps (4 corners)
- (2) Realtrap High Frequency Mini Traps (On wall right behind my sitting position)
- (3) Realtrap Reflection Mini Traps (Left and Right walls)
- Note these are moving targets until I get the CLX's tweaked
Once I get everything setup I can take some pictures. My biggest challenge is going to be my room since it is not a dedicated listening room. It is around 15 feet wide on the front wall and about 16 feet deep. The room is open on both left/right sides to other rooms so sidewalls are not an issue. I plan to have the speakers about 3-4 feet off front wall, 9-10 feet apart and sit 10-12 feet back. All speculation until I actually get them setup. Each sub will sit somewhere between the front wall the the CLX's.
Look for initial impressions in the near future...
