    Default Midl-life Crisis System

    After shutting down one business (health club), losing another (restaurant), including one BSC ex-girlfriend, I decided to treat myself to some speaker and receiver upgrades.

    My RC62 (still in picture) died and spurred me to upgrade my old Choruses to some RF83's, RC64, and RS62's

    Considering a TV upgrade, but will be moving in a few months and may affect my decision for either a projector or 60"+ plasma.

    Just bought a Harmony One, but the "down" button is malfunctioning right out of the box, so it'll have to go back when I pick up my RC64.

    Relegated-to-secondary system: RX-V2700, Klipsch RB25, Paradigm PW-2200 sub;

    No trees were killed in the sending of this message; however, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    Default Update: New Pad

    After moving into my new house, I decided to streamline things a little...











    1/8" clearance between door and speaker. Had to fashion a mounting bracket that would put the surround completely against the ceiling for clearance. Difficulty: No outlet to use my welder.

    Looks great! Like you said, definitely more streamlined. Although, I think that I shed a tear when I couldn't find the wet bar in your new photos...
