Ecks' HT-Stereo: Now Playing: Tannoy Mercury V1
« on: Jun 26, 2013 at 09:11 PM »
August 23, 2013 Update: Replaced the Boston Acoustics A26 with Tannoy Mercury V1 (Dark Walnut). A more appropriate size for the space. ;D



I'm now a certified fan of small bookshelf speakers! Mercury V1 on Atacama Nexus 6i stands and Dali Zensor 1 on its custom-made stands.  ;)




Got tired of waiting for the Dentons to arrive, decided to get this pair muna.
Boston Acoustics A26 in Woodgrain or Satin Cherry.


Sana magamot nya Dentonitis ko. Lol!  ;D


As simple, compact and clutter-free as it can be.









Still planning a few changes here. I believe there's still room for improvement. Suggestions and inputs are appreciated. For now, I'm happy with this set up. :D

Gears: HT

Display: Panasonic 42XT50
AVR: Harman Kardon 265
Game/Video Sources: PS3 Slim; Pioneer DVD Players

2-Channel Audio:

Amplifier: Rotel RA-04SE
DAC: Rotel RDD-06
CD Player: Cayin CD-50T
Turntable: Sony PS-LX350H

Speakers:

Stereo/Audio: Tannoy Mercury V1 (Dark Walnut)
Fronts: Dali Zensor One (Light Walnut)
Center: Dali Vokal (Light Walnut)
Surrounds: Wharfdale 9 DFS & Pure Acoustics Satellites
Sub: Polk Audio DSW PRO 500

Accessories & Other stuff:

Atacama Nexus 6i
Custom-Made Rack & Stands
Maldol AVR
AudioQuest Sidewinder IC - AudioPro IC
Speaker Wires: Stereo - The Chord Company Silverscreen
                             HT - Rega FSC Quattro

Wishing for: Media Player with at least 3TB.  ;D

More power Pdvd!  O0

It's very clean. Very good job. However I fail to see how this is minimalist. You have the same number of components as any ht setup. Add to that the home audio gear.

Congratulations! Excellent choice in the Dali Zensor 1 and the Dali Vokal! :D

Thanks! They never fail to impress me, especially the 1s. For the price, these are amazing speakers. I actually came from B&W 685s.  ;D

Yo! On hold muna ang plans sa Pearly shells. Medyo hindi bumagay sa zensors eh. Hehe!

Guilty sa DENTONitis! Problem is wala pa rng stocks hanggang ngayon. Puro na lng next week, next week. Para me pagkaabalahan, GoldenEar Triton 7s na lng muna ang isipin. Haha! Nangangarap ako ng gising. :D
