Default First pic of the new room
A work in progress....



Makes my rack look kinda small. Not sure where all my DVDs are going to go...missing from this room still are about half of my 300+ CDs and most of my 350+ DVDs... Just painted the facing wall grey, and not sure what the rest of the walls are going to be, but something neutral-warm.

You're better off with a small rack.

Nice set up J. I don't think I'd ever seen the G/R's before. They look great. DId you finish those, or did they?

And seeing that Marantz there put an ache in my heart. I miss my 8400. It's since been replaced by a Denon 3805, but for me, there's just something about Marantz. I'd love to get another 8400, or 7500/8500. But alas.

GR's cabinet maker at the time built them in a nice medium cherry finish. The surrounds are black though.

Now that I have the PS3, I'll be looking to replace the trusy old 8300 with something that has HDMI this year. Marantz will be the first place I'll be looking, though I'm not sure the current 8001's HDMI will work for me. I think I'll wait until the end of the year to see what the next model will have and I also won't be counting out other brands...Rotel maybe?

I'll get some more detailed pics up soon.

Hi j,

Do your cat(s) like the sub for scratchin'? (No joke) I've thought about that style of sub but having two cats myself...If I was a cat it would be very tempting...

Looks like a good start to a nice room. I had a CD/DVD placment problem until I got rid of alot of my wifes niknaks on the built in bookshelves.

Will that glass top table remain and if so does it reflect sound badly?

Surprisingly, the cats leave the sub alone completely. I don't know if that is because it scares them or just because it isn't as interesting as it seems, at least not to them? (we have 3).

I've had that glass table in my living room for a few years and it hasn't been an issue, or I would have gotten rid of it It is hard to tell from the pic, but there's about 2-1/2 to 3ft between the table and the speakers; the room is approximately 25x14 and the ceiling slopes up from what you see there to a peak about 20ft on the opposite end.

Thanks guys.

nice pics of the speakers ... first time I've seen GR research too.

and if I didn't read the signature, I though the SVS cylinders grew by themselves that's a biga$$ sub!

Cleaning isn't a priority at this point...still unpacking

Display is a Sony 34", which will likely get replaced with something larger this year.
