$20K? Yeah, hell naw lol. Bet it sounds orgasmic, though.
Too rich for my blood too. You reach a point of quickly diminishing returns in that price range.
How ya been pk?

Yeah you went ape shit, damn! I imagine gaming on that is pretty damn great as well.
Oh yeah, sounds amazing. I have 2 more speakers behind me for surrounds. They're a match for the one in the middle in those pics. They're all from SVS' Ultra line of speakers.
Like I said, I haven't added to it for quite a while now. I simply can't afford to make a significant upgrade from what I have now. It'd cost stupid money to do it. Last year I got to listen to a pair of B&W speakers that sell for about 20 grand for the pair.

Fucking nice setup!
See this, Pogre?http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/dead-cross-feat-mike-patton-dave-lombardo-debut-album-completed/
Thanks pk! Tho some things have evolved since I last posted here...
Now I think we could say I've gone apeshit! I'm done now tho. Haven't bought any new equipment in a while now. I wish I could share just how good it sounds. I bought a miniDSP and a microphone and figured out how to take measurements and make adjustments. I have smooth, even bass throughout the listening area and everything is as close to being perfectly balanced as I could get it.
Right now I'm running a grand total of about 5000 watts between my amp and subwoofers. Watching movies is like being in the theater.
To keep on topic...
For some reason this band caught my attention a while back. They did some live acoustic stuff and tbh the singer kinda sucks, but I like watching this video. Pretty heavy song.

I've seen that video before! Freaking Maynard has always been a freak, lol.
*Heads out to snoop out birthday thread*

I did not! I think it's awesome that he's still around and relevant. Very cool.
And thanks. it took me a couple years to put that all together. The guys on the Audioholics forums helped me a ton. It's by far the nicest system I've owned.
2 Hsu VTF-3 MK5 fifteen inch subwoofers with variable tuning and eq settings (600 watts RMS, 2000 watts peak, each)
Pair of SVS Ultra bookshelf/stand speakers (a little big for a bookshelf).
Denon AVR X1100W receiver with 4k pass through and all the current surround codecs
Pair of Promonitor 1000 surround speakers
Custom speaker stands made by yours truly

On this!
Just got the subs a couple weeks ago. Sounds freaking awesome.
*Edit: That's Misty on the floor. She likes Chevelle and Tool too.

pk I remember the I'm the man video. it was one of the first songs to incorporate rap with metal. I used to love anthrax.
-
figured I'd go outside the box and post some tool.

on a side note, and somewhat related to the topic, I just upgraded my home theater. went a little apeshit, but I love music and now it sounds so good!
this is what what I got:
2 of these

a pair of these
https://www.svsound.com/products/ultra-bookshelf
and a new receiver.
https://usa.denon.com/us/product/hometheater/receivers/avrx1200w
by far the best system I've ever had. those bookshelf speakers are nothing short of amazing. they're studio monitor and reference grade speakers. and paired with 2 subs... holy shit. I still have he deftech promonitor 1000's for my surround.
this sounds amazing on my system.
can you tell I'm stoked?

WHOA, grandfather!? Wasn't your son like 15 the last time we spoke? Time really does fly, I guess. Congratulations, Papa Pogre!
Bubbles and RUSH, it doesn't get any better. <3
yeah, it's holy shit. my son is now 18. things are settling down and he's manning up. still in school, straight a's and working almost full time. his girlfriend had a falling out with her parents so she's living part of the time here and most of the time with my in laws. makes babysitting much easier.
the baby was born august 1st and his name is... august. happy, healthy and looks great. I'm still pretty pissed off at the whole thing, but like I said, he's handling it. so there's a little bit of pride mixed in with my anger over it.

if you're a fan of the trailer park boys, this version is even better.

New TOOL should be awesome! How you doin', Porge? Hope all's been well with you, man.
I'm hanging in there pk. things are good. I still get notifications when someone posts in a thread I've been active in so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. mebbe brag about my home theater upgrade.
oh yeah, I'm a grandpa now too...
-
I remember that puya video pk. I like that song. I'm still waiting for freaking tool to release their new one.
-
I love you, Panfoot.
Actually, I love Tool. Here's a very cool video I posted at the ATC many moons ago.
Word is, they're coming out with a new cd this year. I tentatively heard May? Anyone have any info on that?
-
You know, Rhonda would find out, Meytal would get jealous...it's just not worth it dude.
*Edit: I loves me some Rousey too
She brings up training with Gene Labell. Top notch, world champion judo master.
**Edit Edit...WAY off topic here. Sorry guys. Delete, move, berate, beat me with a rubber hose...

You wouldn't dare!I'm telling Ronda! haha
-
Meytal Cohen...I have a crush
-
I am completely blown away. I've always thought Meytal was good, but she just played Lateralus note for note!
Polyrythms and all.
-
Oh how very cool!
*Edit: Sweet! Does it work for edits?
**Edit: It does! -

That was pretty kickass PK. Patton and Sepultura...I did not see that one coming.
More Sepultura
-
The Crow has a freaking amazing soundtrack.
Totally agree.
From that same era:
I'm not normally into straight up thrash, but there's something about Sepultura that grabbed me in the eighties. They kick some ***.
-
Good lord, at 3:10 into this song is still one of the heaviest riffs I've ever heard.

What are you listening to?

Pretty good pk. Aside from a mental breakdown, quitting my job of 20 years and starting my own business things are pretty much the same.
Yeah, a lot has been going on in my life the last couple of years. I never in a million years thought I'd be doing something like this. Kinda scary, kinda fun. Home inspection is the business. HIP is the name of the company. Partnered up with a friend of over 20 years. This is our Web page.
