    If you like to submit your system, please email it to turbotan@gmail.com. They key is to include a lot of photos and if you can, video clips too. The more photo you send me, the more interesting your system will look.

      Hey Thomas that was very cool i liked looking at all the different systems around the World.
      Since I only stream from my phone I cant do both so until I figure that out. No sound but pictures. I would love for everyone to hear it. Still tweaking it by sound proofing, this livingroom needed it badly. Lots of reverb especially my left speaker is only 2ft from corner right one flows into kitchen 15ft to that door. Crazy.
      Where do i send the pictures. Thxs

    Also huge thank you to all the people who sent their videos in really appricate that ! Very glad other people share the same passion for audio !
    Thomas ! Those JBL-580s i am about to review are 90db effeciant and the IOTAVX-SA3 drives them hard I had to plug the rear bass ports bass is outstanding tight with control and punch ! The 580s i believe slipped under the radar i believe ! So much easier to frive the 580s than the 530s and their more lively than the 530s,
    Hope you tune in when I pop the hood 😆 these 6.5 inch woofers are heavy ! Sale price of 600.00US compared to msrp of 1500.00US 😆 thanks again Thomas and those who sent videos in!

    This puts my little hi-fi system to shame. I have an SQ quadraphonic setup from the mid to late 1970s. All Sony equipment, consisting of an SQA-200 driving two TA-1150s, with a "Precise" PSP7X turntable, but I'm happy with it. :)

  • @JosefTreiber
    @JosefTreiber 4 года назад

    Nice idea. I also saw some systems that were well integrated into the listening room in terms of overall look and coziness. Of course we all look for the best affordable sound first, which is sometimes working against the looks of the listening room.
    But in the end the whole experience consists of good sound AND good music AND a room to feel well in to make it petfect.

    • @ThomasAndStereo

    Thomas, Did you see that little small passive Dynaco Quadapter at the top by the large Advent speaker at the 3min50sec mark on your video? Created by late great David Hafler, founder of Dynaco. This was from the quad sound era. I have 3 of the more advanced Dynaco D-1 IIL 5 channel passive processors made of heavy gauge metal 1/8 inch thick. They passively derive ambiance from a 2 channel stereo signal to create 5 channel surround. I first bought 2 of them in 1992 for around $90 each. They had the spring loaded terminals. I then bought 3 more with the upgraded gold posts for around $20 each in 1999. I should have bought all I could for that price. They work marvelously. I have used them to expand existing surround channels on newer 7 channel A/V receivers...I used 3 of them on a 2010 7.1 channel Yamaha 140wpc all channels driven. The Dynaco D-1 IIL restructured my 7.1 channel to a 16.1 channel surround system from it. Somehow it was still able to derive more subtle ambiance from the surround channels and back channels. The cool thing with these passive decoders, is that the amp never sees below a 4ohm load connected through these Dynaco's.....I wonder how many people have them and have used them in this way. I also wonder if I actually created hieght channels when I did that setup with that Yamaha? Thanks for listening Thomas! Hear is the link to the review from 1999 on this decoder, plus much more info about the device than I provided. I had them setup in a home I owned at the time. My theater room was rectangular 27'x 15'...I used 2 10" Valedine subs...which made my setup in 2011 16.2 channels. Great separation and the best sound stage I ever heard in my life. I used JBL speakers and Klipsch surround speakers...I matched my center speaker with my main L& R JBL speakers. Unlike today's multichannel A/V receivers, these Dynaco's can derive these extra channels from existing stereo sources in a clean passive way that enhances most music. Today's surround systems are not designed to take advantage of older stereo sources like these older Dynaco's can.

    I wished I done this & I might. But I wish there were people on youtube that tell people to buy certain cheap speakers & install scanspeak drivers or scanspeak divers from another cabinet or certain drivers & crossover to a different cabinet. These parts can be bought cheap. It's just the cabinets that they charge much for. I saw a long time ago that people did it with no trouble. But I see people on youtube buy or make their own cabinets & I think that is too much trouble. I bet there are people that sells piles like this & people on youtube would go crazy over it. Putting great parts in a cheap cabinet. One could brace & seal, laminate & insulate the cabinet themselves. Or there'd be more people on youtube build stuff for people. I had a friend that died here lately & a few years ago he took me to a friend who owned his on speaker & sub distribution & building company. He was going to show us how he built stuff. I've heard most major speaker brands, but he had some big speakers that had a wonder easy on one's ears sound that shocked me that I never heard before.

    The subwoofer addition is something I do and agree even for vinyal record playing and audio cd apart from watching films. I find most good audio system owner are happy with only speakers and ofcourse subwoofer is a part of any home theater. But for me especially the new subwoofer s are fabulous and should be used even while playing 2 0 or stereo.
