jwenthold99 Full Audioholic Feb 6, 2007 329 0 28 Milwaukee Apr 6, 2009 #1 I decided to finally take the time to take pictures and show what my current setup looks like. It is in an apartment, so wire management is a little out of control, and the speaker setup is less than ideal, but it sounds pretty good! Equipment List: Yamaha Rx-V640 Sony Playstation 3 Sony DVP-NS500V SACD/DVD Player Klipsch RP3 Mains (W/Built-In 10" 400W Subs) Klipsch RC3II Center Klipsch RB25 Surrounds Sony KDS55A3000 Display Plus a bunch of misc. cables, Compaq PC, Cable Box Last edited by a moderator: Oct 23, 2014 Reactions: agarwalro, Midcow2, Djizasse and 2 others

Djizasse Senior Audioholic Feb 4, 2008 727 0 0 Lisbon, Portugal Apr 7, 2009 #10 Nice system. The wiring does not seem out of control Can't you lay the rear speaker wires going next to the left wall? It would be neater. And I'm very curious about that basket on the left. I would say it is a wire basket Can you post a close up? Reactions: jwenthold99

Yes the floor is uneven, and the rear projection tv likes a level surface.. And now looking at the picture, I think I need something a little more aesthetically pleasing to level it out Last edited: Apr 7, 2009

It's not bad, the system sounds amazing for movies, and pretty good for music. For an apartment setup I can't complain! I also was able to get the Mains and Center for a song. The whole speaker setup was under $1k

That was the initial location for the wires, but the wife didn't like it and suggested putting them under the rug so that is where they stay! And yes, you are correct! That is a wire basket. Several USB cables, a couple of PS3 controllers, headphones, etc.... and no, no closeup

But I wanted to give it a shot, and pirates was in the PS3, so you get to see the results!

Next time I move I will do it, just been too lazy to take everything apart and set it up again!

W westcott Audioholic General Jul 8, 2005 1,453 0 0 South of Houston, Texas Apr 9, 2009 #19 Very nice equipment selection, especially the speaker and display. The stand looks like a Sanus. I have a similar one in the master. Too bad you can't mount the display on the wall. That stand would make a great place to put your center channel higher. Keep us posted on your progress. Well done!

Click to expand... I am not a great fan of the stand... It's a little too high for the display, and I agree, the center is too low. I think I might get a lower stand someday, and put the center over the display. I am hoping to add some emotiva gear (umc-1 and upa-7) at some point. I just need HDMI switching, and something to accept HDMI audio so I can use the SACD capability of my PS3.
