Thanks, My room is literally too small to get a pic of both speakers from the listening seat with a standard lens. Hence the fisheye I was playing with.
I swear that the best mod I’ve made to my system is the mods I made to my futon to make it more comfy. Thin masonite and cardboard over the slats and under the cushion has made a world of difference in enjoying my system. 
Room in the making. 20x14.5 7.4 to start then as soon as i can afford to makes the upgrade to atmos. Plus all of my other equipment from my various setups in other rooms.
This is the picture of the phase “wall of sound” 
That looks like a nice room for a HT and a fun project. Have fun!
Yeah the wife banished all audio equipment to “my room” so i have to store it, until i can start re-invading the house again…
Ceiling fan has to go make room for the VOG speaker.
Wow, just a little jealousy here…just a tiny lil bit.
Definitely looks like some fun times ahead for you. Don’t be stingy with those progress pics.

From the ashes…
After finishing up with the main surround setup, I got everything cleaned up and noticed I had this pile of “leftover stuff”. All vintage to some degree, all still viable. So I thought… What the heck. Maybe I can throw something together for the bedroom. So I pooled all this together
Again, more ripping and cleaning. I was in awe of how well the 2808 cleaned up. I never really used this HD player, but it’s a great unit. Paying CDs with the fiber optic digital connection to the 2808 - Holy Cow. [/quote]
UPDATE! I had a rare day off today. Woke up and it was cold and raining, so I slept in for a bit, and then had this wild idea to work on this setup! A bit here, a piece there and voila!
Of course, the portable CD player went into the desktop system in the office a while back. I brought the M200 out and am feeding it with optical signal from the TV. and I finally found a way to get my beloved Realistic EQ back in action. It’s running between the DAC and the amp and man, it’s fantastic! I missed using this device. This amp is such a friggin beast. The DSP and surround capabilities it has is amazing. Or you can bypass all of it by going into pure direct mode and now I do all sound correction with the realistic EQ. I love having the options. This system is as throw-back as it gets, but it kicks ass. Unbelievable!
And the frosting on the cake… I have moved the Senn HD660S into this environment. Oh my God, these things sound fantastic in here! It’s freaky how well the 660s fit in fact. I’m even using the stock cable. Yes, you heard me! 
It sounds great. This will be their permanent home, I think. Now I can watch live concerts in ultimate comfort and blow my head out if I want without disturbing a soul! It truly is wonderful. And the neatest thing is, it didn’t cost anything.
I had to follow up one more time. I have been having a ball with this refreshed setup. I had such a great session with it this morning. I decided to watch some classical performances on Youtube. The HD performances are very good quality recordings, and this system - The Denon 2808 in particular, is blowing me away.
Ever since I cleaned it up and reconfigured it, it has re-awakened and now produces this huge, immersive sound field. It’s incredible how well it’s working with the M200 DAC. I am using my Senn HD660 phones with it, and it’s amazing. This amp has a fantastic headphone circuit in it. There were times during the performance when it almost seemed like I wasn’t wearing phones at all; everything was happening outside them and they began to just disappear, almost the way speakers do. I closed my eyes and felt like I was there.
This thing has turned into, like, the world’s biggest headphone rig! And I’m loving it. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this amp.
I have HT/Stereo setup in my bedroom, with parts of it sitting in the attic. Despite making some controversial (for many) decisions, I love the sound and functionality of it. The only thing I’m planning to change is to replace the BT Receiver with a Streamer at some point. Other than that, it is a pure gold for me:
The overall price of the entire setup is around 5.250$ for the time of purchase.
Set up in my corner of the house…my corner…wife loves the experience…hates the look
What does she know…
Just finished setting up my new HT nest. Really difficult to check all checkboxes:
Looks and sounds like a million bucks.
From May 2020
Well its been 4 years and things have changed. No more massive front speakers with dual subs.
Theres a Samsung 65" TV that runs with PS5 on 4K/120Hz now with new Marantz AV-preamp.
Also matching front speakers as FL, C, FR and a single 12" sub.
Rear speakers changed from 3-way to 2-way but are as beefy so performance and sound remains as good.
The white ones are “TV speakers” in secondary set with RME and Focal headphones.
Took a while get the picture working with full performance and dolby/auro setup working with all speakers. Tested that they all play individually if source material provides higher surround formats than 5.1.
Cant wait for the final tune tomorrow.
