Setup (on a student budget):

B&W Zeppelin Airhttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/29/article-1316173-0B5FA1F8000005DC-936_468x286.jpg

This is an awesome sounding dock.

My previous car's setup:

 

Full Lightning Audio system (except 1 amp)

15" 400W RMS Subs x 2 (LA Strike)

350W RMS monoblock for each sub (LA Bolt)

Full split system at the front (75W RMS) (LA Strike)

Co-axils at the back (45W RMS) (LA Bolt)

4-Way amp rated at 75W each channel (Camtec)

 

Sadly, the whole system is now standing in my room gathering dust.

I guess I should try selling it sometime. It really is a great system.

Currently running DLS Ultimate series speakers and amplifiers in my car fed from an Alpine Status F#1 head unit. Very simple system at the moment compared to last years 10 channel stereo system I owned.

 

House is Rotel RSP-1068 feeding a RB985 power amp. Powers my DLS T3 speakers in the lounge.

 

Strictly not a reference stereo system but really really good. Lounge's layout is **** anyways so no use spending big on it now.

 

Dream system is a pair of Martin Logan Summit X's powered by a DLS Amplifier One and CD One.

 

Other option would be to power them by a little something built by Oom Schalk.

 

I have Vantages, they are super sweet.

Luckily, I have some of oom Schalk's units, he is busy finishing off my new pre-amp.

I sadly have not upgraded my home system in 20 odd years...it used to be adequate and i sadly have not used it enough in the past 5 or 6 years to warrant spending money on an upgrade. My music is mostly listened to on earphones at work or in my car on my ipod. I am not much of an audiophile so clarity is not not a major factor for me. Thats said my home system is:

 

Nad 3020i

Nad 3?? turntable

Nad Cd player (c model i think)

Wharfdale speakers

 

as i say all about 20 -25 yrs old

NAD 3020i was my first love. Together with Boston speakers. Wow, that was back in 1989.

[sometime]

My setup is also approaching 20 years old now and needs an upgrade but at the time it wasn't bad given that I had little money:

 

Denon PMA250III Amp

Denon DCD825 CD player

Technics SL7 direct drive turntable

B&W DM602 speakers

Seats are in that position for the photo only.

I'm guessing the sound system's worth more than the car?

[DR ◣◢]

I do miss this little guy. Sold the system from my study to help pay vets bills earlier this year.

 

 

Powered a set if KEF IQ10s

It was worth around R65000 before I scaled down. Worth around R35000 now.

Wow, serious money for car audio. I still have a Phoenix Gold M25 amp lying about in my cupboard. Never installed. Bought it then never installed it since I never had a car worthy of it.
