My Home theater

[superman180]

Well it is not really a phat system but it gets the job done and keeps the neighbors awake. ;)

32" Panasonic HDTV.
Yamaha RX-V 2500.
4 Cambridge Newton series m80's.
1 Cambridge Newton series mc400 center channel.
2 infinity bookshelf speakers rear surrounds.
SVS PB12-plus/2 AWSOME SUBWOOFER!!!!!!!!!
Pioneer pure cinema DVD player.
Sony VHS.

Future upgrade list.

Dedicated theater room. :D
42" LCD windscreen.
Yamaha 2500 DVD player most likely the first upgrade.
Well the SVS ended up being the first equipment upgrade.

Any comments are welcome.

(Finally got photos uploaded not the greatest quality but I guess they will do)

(Bump) upgraded system any comments welcome. :D

Man that's a big 'ol sub!! :eek:

Seriously though, nice looking system. Clean & simple. My kinda style.

Looks like you'll be able to upgrade your mains for awhile before you need a bigger sub. That thing is HUUUUUGE. Have you played 16Hz test tones for fun yet? :D

[chas_w]

Nice system. How do you like the Panasonic HDTV? How does the picture look with standard def material (if you have tried it)?

[superman180]

I have not got to the 16 hz setting yet but when I do I'll post some comments.
The Panasonic works very good with a good quality input source (DVD player). Works ok with basic cable, it seems to really boost the reds in the picture. You can make adjustment to each input individually to help balance things out. Luckily I use it primarily for movies.

the sub is a monster! the old one looks like mine, what model? The svs dwarfs it, looks like you could stuff it inside the svs.
the black furniture looks sharp with plenty o room for future additions. :)

[superman180]

That would be an infinity BU2.

And thanks to all for the kind comments. :)

[zumbo]

Can we have a pic of the sub with the grill off? :D

[superman180]

Wish I could but my homeowners insurance doesn’t cover self-induced medical expenses and I will throw my back out trying to get the pics. After all the sub only weights 140 pounds.

[zumbo]

Oh. It's a down firing sub?

[Takeereasy]

That is a very nice system Superman. Are you happy with the Newtons? I gotta admit, they look like some nice bookshelfs. And that sub, my god, that sub is friggin huge!

[superman180]

Yes it's down firing.

I do like the newtons, I am quite please with the performance especially at there price point. Some day I will upgrade to some nice towers but not sure what brand I will go with.
I would suggest the Newton’s to anyone putting together a system on a budget I think they will be quite surprised! :D

[trhalma]

that's funny , that is my sub. i thought it had to be a smaller version of it, like an 8" or 10" , because it looked so tiny! i have sub envy

[superman180]

Here is a photo of my latest upgrade, getting closer to home theater bliss! I love this stuff!!!! :D http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/superman180/IMGA0459.jpg

Damum!! Rock on dude! BTW, I like those speaker stands for the mains.

Very clean set-up. :) And the seating was a real nice upgrade. Wish I had room for those seats. HT room is to narrow for 3 of those.

AND WOW, WHAT A SUB!!!!!!!! Now that I envy!!!!

[brian32672]

Small suggestion, would it be possible to get the rear surrounds up onto the ceiling?

[superman180]

Thanks for the kind responses, I actually custom built the speaker stand they are each filled with 50 pounds of lead shot, makes them very solid. I like the suggestion regarding the surrounds, never gave it much thought but mounting them up in the corners make sense, these seats are kind of close to them.

Thank you. :D

[Takeereasy]

Love the seats, and thats a pretty sweet ride. What is that a Hasbro or a Mattel? ;) . Seriously though you've got a kick butt setup and the seating is the CHerry.

Believe it or not, I am feeling kinda stupid today--- And I'm actually thinking of buying that SVS sub--- DOH ITS A SICKNESS, Specially when I am happy with my sub now. Just the fact that I can hit 16-18hz is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

[brian32672]

Surely one of these days (even now) when I have drunk to much, I will max out the credit cards... Damn it, credit sucks.....

[brian32672]

Damn it, credit sucks.....

Reply to my own reply.

Unless you croak after hearing the awesome sound this must produce. Then credit is a no brainer.

It has been a long while since visiting this site, just been real busy with family and there has not been any activity with my theater room until recently, I just scored a B&W center and repainted the movie room so I thought I would update with some current pics. I have been putting equipment together for quite some time and some of this stuff is kind of outdated but it gets the job done.

Projector---------------Panasonic PT-AE900U
Receiver---------------Yamaha RXV 2500
Sub--------------------SVS PB12-Plus/2
Speakers Front---------B&W CDM 7NT
Center-----------------B&W CDM NT
Rears------------------Cambridge Newton M80's
DVD Player-------------Panasonic DMP-BD 35
Screen-----------------Grey wolf

I would like to add that I got incredibly lucky on scoring the B&W speakers it's kind of a long story but I got the towers out of a pawn shop for $175.00 total(my father in-law pawned them in desperate times) and the center I just picked up on craigslist for $150.00:D Score
