    1) What are your home theater system components, including manufacturers and finishes / colors?

    1. Amp/Receiver - Onkyo TX-SR805 - Black

    2. Speakers - EMP Tek Impression series - Black Ash

    3. Sub(s) - EMP Tek Impression sub - Black Ash

    4. Sources - HTPC/Blu-ray, Onkyo CD changer - black, Toshiba HD-DVD player - Black, Xbox 360 - White, Wii - White

    5. AV furniture - In storage, I went with a wall mount/converted hole in wall for components.

    6. Other - DrMckenzie fans and monoprice mounts/cables, Olevia TV.


    2) What would you change in your home theater system? Acoustics, but WAF is a huge negative on that point. My HT is my LR...sigh.

    3) What would you upgrade 1st in your home theater system? Probably sub or TV.

    4) When you chose your speaker system, how important was it that the subwoofer finish color matched the rest of your system? Scale: 1–10 (1= Didn’t matter at all, 10 = Had to match finish color). Please explain. It was a 6, the sub is fairly hidden in a corner and doesn't matter too much. The current high gloss sub seems to attract my 2 year old daughter, she enjoys sitting on it...

    Let me just say I love what you guys are doing, I often recommend Aperion to my friends, including one chap at work who's looking at this very system.
    LR: Onkyo TX-SR805 - EMP E5Ti/E5Ci/E5Bi - Outlaw LFM-1 EX - Samsung LN46C650 - Toshiba HD-A2 - Acer X1300 w/LG Bluray/HD DVD burner HTPC - Onkyo DX-C210 cd changer - Monoprice cables/mount
    Office: E-MU 0404 USB, Behringer 2030P, Dayton Sub-100, TEAC AG-V8500.
    Headphones: Sennheiser HD555 and Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro. Fiio E5 for kicks and giggles.

    Eschew obfuscation.

    1) What are your home theater system components, including manufacturers and finishes / colors?
    1. Onkyo TX-SR876
    2. AV12# Rocket RS850s, RS450s, and the RSC200
    3. AV12# MFW-15
    4. Denon DVD-1940CI (as a SACD player), Sony Playstation 3, Macbook Pro
    5. BDI TV Stand
    6. Samsung HL67A750 67" LED DLP TV, Monoprice Cables

    2) What would you change in your home theater system?
    As of this moment, most likely the speakers because of the company's issues. Otherwise, the receiver/amp (would like to try separates).
    3) What would you upgrade 1st in your home theater system?
    Pretty much same as above! Speakers (subwoofer fist) or the amp.
    4) When you chose your speaker system, how important was it that the subwoofer finish color matched the rest of your system? Scale: 1–10 (1= Didn’t matter at all, 10 = Had to match finish color). Please explain.
    Probably a 4 - it doesn't necessarily have to match, but it does need to have a good finish and look good!

    Thanks a lot =)

    Question 1
    A Onkyo TX-NR906 and Emotiva XPA-3 amp all black.
    B Salk Song Tower 5.0 system in honey oak.
    C SVS PB12 Plus/2 in rosenut
    D PB/3 back, FIOS-TV box in silver
    E Cabinets are cherry and black
    F Monoprice cables

    Question 2
    I have multiple "theaters" and right now I'm pretty happy with my family room theater. If I were to change anything it would be my AV cabinets or my subwoofer.

    Question 3
    I'll probably upgrade my receiver in my family room in 2011-2012. My bedroom theater will probably get a receiver upgrade as well.

    Question 4
    Because the sub in my family room lives behind the love seat a color match isn't critical but would be nice call it a 7. It would also be nice to match my furniture but nobody does oak speakers/subs anymore and I have oak furniture.

    The sub in my master bedroom system is in plain sight and I'd call that an 8.
    Family Rm: Samsung 52" LCD, Onkyo TX-NR809, Emotiva XPA2 & XPA-3 amps, PS3, Oppo BDP-93, FIOS HD DVR, Salk Song Tower-RT, Song Ctr-RT, Song Surrounds, SVS PB12-Plus/2, Velo SMS-1, NeoTV 550, Roku 3, Harmony-1
    Bedroom: Hitachi 42" LCD, FIOS HDTV, Onkyo TX-NR906, LG BD370, NeoTV550, 3x Sierra-1 NrT (LCR), Boston VRX srds, Hsu ULS-15, SMS-1, Harmony-1
    Home Office: Onkyo TX-SR707, 2x EMP E41-B, Emotiva Ultra 12 sub, and a small media server

    1 - because I installed the main sub in the front wall. The second sub is in the back of the room so color again does not matter.

    Scale = 10/10. It was 100% important - EXTREMELY important. In fact, I wanted every single speaker to match the color and style. Aesthetics is extremely important to me. If the speakers/sub are ugly, I don't care how good they sound.
