Hi Wayne, you have some seriously classy top end kit there chap! However i know you don't need me to tell you what you already know :doh: When i saw the first picture i was wondering if you'd set your hifi up in some kind of hotel room where seminars would be held :lol:
Then i read this:-
Room is purpose built, concrete floor, 29x x24 feet x 8 foot high.
You don't by chance take in lodgers do you? :scratch:
Thought not :doh:
Enjoy fella & something tells me you do every time you go in there! Amazing :stalks: :stalks: :stalks:
Thanks for your comments Mark
I got kind of lucky with the house layout. Two pretty useless rooms went back to back, one being a garage that wouldn't fit a car in and a hobbies room. Knocked them together and only had to put an 10 foot extension down the length. Job done !

Ah, that probably explains the off centre pillar, i was wondering about that :eyebrows:
I guess the wall need some help with holding all that glorious sound in ;)
Just noticed the pull down screen! Nice to see another fairly serious AV user on here to :)

cripes, what a system! Would love to hear a hi-end one like this one day - although probably just as well I haven't had the chance in a way.

Welcome from another Worcester person ... Can't believe there are 2 sets of these in Worcester ...
I heard this set up once at Graham place , Tremendous scale. You have some very serious gear

Hmmm indeed - what happened to the other chap with those? Always wonder why some people join, go ballistic for a few days, then disappear off the face of the forum? :scratch: Exhibitionism, maybe?
Anyway, Wayne, very impressive, thanks for sharing. :)
To deal with a few questions:
The other chap with these is alive and well and a really good friend. He's probably busy earning the money to pay for the system rather than spending all his time on the forum ! Or perhaps it is exhibitionism. Perhaps exhibitionism is why everyone joins these things.
The sound Avantgarde's produce in a big enough room is way beyond "normal" hi fi. As a result, in some ways the sound is way better than what Graham can get in his smaller room. The imaging gains immesurably in a bigger room and loses the overblown quality.
Mark, the projector screen is motorised rather than pull down. I can't believe how cheap they are ! Its an omicrom projector wired over the ceiling with 30 metres Chord HDMI lead.
Yes I found Graham room over blown when I heard it I could not be happy with his system not balanced enough for me
Thats interesting John...
IMO, Avantgarde speakers do a great job of providing the scale and drama of live performance, much of which comes from the dynamic capabilities. The issue seems to be stopping them shouting and getting space round them. Like in every other system with more or less any kit, it could sound crap but best performance is down to system set up and the details.
You'll just have to take my word for it that the only issue you heard is the size of the room and the spacing of the speakers. The overblown quality simply isn't there in the right room set up properly, and I listen to everything from solo classical stuff and delta blues - small scale intimate stuff - to large scale stuff that wants a huge sound !

Definately exhibitionism, still floating around, although as has been said working hard toward the next upgrade. I put the reason there are two sets of these in worcester squarely at frogs webbed feet!!!

Even better, i should have used my head! If you can afford Trios you can definately afford a motorised screen :eyebrows: 30M of HDMI cable :eek: I guess you are using repeaters.
Fixed screen this way so i have to keep a wall clear ;)

Unreserved apologies to you Tony, I didn't recall it was you with the horn. ;) I was also intending on adding that when I made my comment last night (apart from having too much wine... :doh:) that it was a general feeling, not picking on any one in particular. Sorry, again.
