blackzarg is a forum member in good standing
1. Onkyo TX-SR8761) What are your home theater system components, including manufacturers and finishes / colors?
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
As of this moment, most likely the speakers because of the company's issues. Otherwise, the receiver/amp (would like to try separates).2) What would you change in your home theater system?
Pretty much same as above! Speakers (subwoofer fist) or the amp.3) What would you upgrade 1st in your home theater system?
Probably a 4 - it doesn't necessarily have to match, but it does need to have a good finish and look good!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.
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.

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.
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.
