Thanks everyone for welcoming me to the Carver Site and thank you for the compliments on my system!
@Daddyjt; I agree, Klipsch and Carver sound great together! I transitioned from Sansui speakers in my stereo system in 1998 when I bought that pair of KLF-20’s that you see in the picture. Then, when I setup my first Surround system it was a no brainer for me, Klipsch speakers! Since I only have a dedicated 2-channel room, I had to adapt our living room for use as a Home Theater, so I went with bookshelf speakers instead of floor standing speakers. My current Surround system is a 5.1.2 system with:
Front Speakers (2): Klipsch RB81’s
Center Channel (1): Klipsch RC62
Surround (2): Klipsch RS42’s
Dolby Atmos (2): Klipsch RP-140SA’s
Subwoofer (1): Klipsch RW10d
@PhilDent; that room is my getaway (mancave), it is isolated from the rest of the house, and it has an out in the woods type of décor; so “The Boonies” was the first thing that came to my mind and the name stuck! I even found a painted wooden sign at Bass Pro Shops that shows a Black Bear out in the woods with the caption “Welcome To The Boonies Where Good Times are a Bruin”.
@Brian_at_HHH; the Reel to Reel is in a cabinet at the other end of that room. It is a little cumbersome to have it hooked up all of the time, so whenever I feel like using the R-to-R, I’ll set it up over near the rack of CD’s. I usually spin Vinyl out there, CD’s a little less than Vinyl, then Cassettes, and R-to-R the least.
@loner_t; yep, all these years later I still have OCCD, so the use of it in past tense was a faux pas! ?
