Share Your Setup - Chris
In this week's installment of AVRev's new series, Share Your Setup, we have professional sound guy (and High-Def Digest reader) Chris Martin sharing his garage turned dedicated home theatre space. Chris is hugely passionate, and geektastic, home audio and cinema enthusiast, who is running 9.1 channels of surround sound and displaying his wares on a 12-foot projector screen.
Personally, what I love about Chris' space is how it combines high end gear with the type of regular joe setup many of us have. Also, I love his toys, key art, and prominently displayed Blu-ray collections. This guy loves HD! Here's Chris in his own words:
AUDIOPHILE, VIDEO/CINEPHILE, OR BOTH?
I would say both.
Audiophile: I love live music. I am a professional sound guy for small shows of up to 16 inputs. I use a Mackie Onyx mixer that has a nice firewire output on the back that allows me to record shows that I run sound for. Those recording sound very good coming out at 24-bit, 96Khz. Plus, the energy that you get in a live performance gives the music that additional special feel.
Video/Cinephile: In addition to the sound, I also have a camera. I've been shooting short instructional and recruiting videos for several years now. But I like to take the HD camera and make video slide shows of events and trips. This is fun to show family and friends. So I really like to examine movies for cinematography and technical complexities of shots. I have maintained a home theater in or form or another since about 1995. HD source material has moved this into a whole new realm of home cinema enjoyment.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CURRENT SETUP!
Let's start off with the receiver, an Integra DTR-80.1. It is capable of 9.2, but I am only running 9.1 currently. I don't have the resources to get that second subwoofer yet. And speaking of subs, my point-one is the JL Audio Fathom f113. This piece is my favorite of the system. If you need to know why, then you have no idea what this unit does. Simply put, it's a 130 lbs. earthquake machine. While we are on the subject of sound, the front speakers are Vandersteen Model 1's , the surrounds are Vandersteen Model 3's (both circa 1980's), rears are Monitor Audio Silver RS 8's, front wide or high are Bose AM-5's, and finally the center is Monitor Audio Silver RS Center channel.

HOW AND WHEN DID YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH AUDIO/VIDEO? Audio: This was when I was about 15. I had a cassette/receiver that I think was from Radio Shack. I made some good money during a summer job, and bought upgrades for my stereo. First was a CD player.
