My Caravan Home Theater Setup - Blu-ray Forum

Hi guys, I've been living in a 25 foot Jayco Caravan with an attached deck/annex for a few years now, and I thought I might show you the HT that I set up in the bedroom.
The room is no more the size of about 2.2x 2.2 meters (edit, might be bigger, need to re-measure, but sizes quoted here are a guess)
The rears are slight forward of my head, but I don't have much room to play wit, it's not ideal, but it works.
This system is brutal for the space it's in, and some soundtracks can leave me rather overwhelmed, but with a large grin on my face.
The sub is one thing that will be replace soon, hopefully with a REL subwoofer.
I love this system, it's been the most enjoyable one I've ever owned, even over a system I used to have that had a krell Kst-100 included.
Perfect fit for the space. Most people are gob smacked after hearing it, and even after two years of owning it, it still surprises me, especially when the Cambridge audio BR player replace the PS3, and only then I realized how inferior a PS3 is as a BR player.
All the speakers are running mid/high with the sub doing the bottom end for all channels, which is why a sub upgrade is required, but the current one is holding its own quite well, but could be better. The new REL sub will be a 500 watt one, over kill for the room, but considering the sub is under the bed in a box (bed base frame) a sub with massive amounts of control and constraint is needed, and enough power to do the work of 5 speakers as well as it's .1 channel.
Now hopefully I can link the pics from my gallery here, so if they are not, I'm working on it

It consists of the following:

Marantz AV-8801 pre/processor
3 x Rotel RB-1581 mono blocks (L C R)
RB-1552Mk2 for the rear channels
Cambridge Audio AZUR 752bd Blu-Ray Player
Sony KDL-42800b 3D TV
Apple TV
Apple Airport Express
Two iPad 1st gen music servers
B&W 805D'smain channels
B&W CM Center 2 center channel
B&W CM1 rear speakers
BlueSound Node High Res Music Server
Rel T9 Subwoofer
Chord 2Qute DAC
Isotek Sigmas Gii with Premier Power Cables x 6
van den Hul ultimate HDMI
Van Den Hul flat HEAC cable

Cheers
