Prize78's humble setup

Prize78 · 01-11-2009, 7:27 PM

Ok, well i've finally plucked up the courage to put a few pictures of my setup on here. Not as glamorous as some, or indeed, most of the setups on here, but i'm very pleased with it. What do you all think? Comments are very welcome.

(Kit list in sig.)

(Oh, and, I know the centre doesn't match, but a Monitor Audio centre is on the shopping list, just as soon as funds will allow

)

Nice and tidy set up Prize78! Some nice kit too but I'm sure you want a bigger TV

Centre speaker looks fine to me, nice setup

Ideally, yeah, but this damned hobby is an expensive one eh? And i have to do things step by step...it's a long process!! Like i say, Monitor Audio centre coming, to match the fronts.

Thanks for looking.

I knew it wouldn't be too long before you wanted to showcase your kit Nick!!

Looks good to me! And I'm sure you'll get around to finding a RS-LCR soon for the price you feel happy to pay!

The gloss back RS5s match you set up brilliantly!

Keep the updates coming!

its not the size of the setup, but the size of your smile watching the setup, looks good to me

jordandy512 · 02-11-2009, 10:31 PM

Have you finished tweaking the sub yet mate? Will be posting my stuff soon, looks and sounds a lot different to when you came to pick up the sub! Keep spending, it's worth it in the end!

Prize78 · 03-11-2009, 5:15 AM

Ha ha, yeah....sub's pretty settled now mate...sounds great....even better with my new fronts. Get some pictures up Andy....let's have a butcher's!

PoisonJam · 03-11-2009, 4:12 PM

Those MAs look awesome!

Prize78 · 03-11-2009, 5:00 PM

Thanks mate, they sound brilliant too

Prize78 · 08-11-2009, 7:53 AM

A couple more pics....

scottlwl · 08-11-2009, 7:59 AM

very tidy set up there Prize. Those fronts are very sexual. I bet you have a big grin on your face when ever you watch a film!!

Prize78 · 08-11-2009, 8:10 AM

Yeah, not half mate....you know the score!!

FLETCH1 · 08-11-2009, 11:11 AM

looks very nice mate im wishing id bought the black ma speaker myself

Prize78 · 08-11-2009, 12:47 PM

I know what you mean mate, the black cabinets, with the white drivers and silver surrounds, i think, look very classy indeed.

.....That said though Fletch, you have got the Rs6's and i've got the Rs5's

Prize78 · 08-11-2009, 8:07 PM

Oh, another one from the other angle.....

Prize78 · 05-12-2009, 3:25 PM

My ever expanding blu ray collection!

Prize78 · 09-01-2010, 11:00 AM

New pics added of the new centre....and yes, i'm very aware that it's silver and not black....but there's so few of them about, (zero blacks anywhere, it would seem), that i thought at least it's a match, sonically. But to be honest, because the sound is so good, it really doesn't bother me that the colours don't match.

Prize78 · 09-01-2010, 11:02 AM

PS, ignore the sky box on the floor!!! It's not staying there!!

Zorba_8 · 10-01-2010, 11:07 AM

Shame you couldn't get hold of a black one mate, have you thought about contacting MA and asking if they can send you a black grill, if you start to get a little bit twitchy about the colour and can't find on in black?

Liking it though mate.
Mike

Prize78 · 10-01-2010, 12:35 PM

Funnily enough mate, i had not thought of asking them...I've just emailed them, so you never know eh?
The sound out of it though mate, as i'm sure you're more than aware, is phenomenol. A marked improvement on my tannoy, which, is tiny by comparison.

Prize78 · 21-02-2010, 11:04 AM

Canvas movie poster added......

Any respnse from MA on this as I can't find any black MA LCR either ?

Bizness · 10-03-2010, 8:56 AM

Lovely stuff

Yeah, they wanted £48 for the black grille, so i stuck with the silver one for obvious reasons!

*MrLobster* · 11-03-2010, 9:14 AM

Cant you just DIY yourself a black grill?

Is it metal or fabric mesh?

Prize78 · 13-03-2010, 8:30 AM

Fabric mesh with plastic frame.....i'm not bothered about the colour now to be honest. In a weird way, i'm not sure i don't actually prefer it......it breaks up the solid black.

nice looking set up prize78

can't believe they wanted 48 quid just for the grille, money grabbing #$?!#!!
