Looks like you have got off to a great start and doing a really nice job. The planning is very apparent and that is something everyone should appreciate. Keep us posted on your progress. I, and many others, are excited to see it up and running. Good Luck!!!! Reactions: ThA tRiXtA

ThA tRiXtA Full Audioholic Feb 25, 2004 466 0 0 45 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Oct 26, 2008 #24 Update: October 26th 2008 (#2) Walls painted, finally... 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of color later and I'm just about ready to wire up the wall sconces... it will be nice to not have to work with that 1000 watt work light all the time. The color on the walls really makes it come alive, don't you think? It's not as vibrant orange as it looks in the pictures... in room its a very bold but warm burnt orange color.

Davemcc Audioholic Spartan Jan 10, 2007 6,561 0 0 The Satellite of Love Oct 27, 2008 #29 It might sound odd, but most of my gear is sourced locally. I don't really go shopping for stuff in Detroit. There's a couple of local shops here that will come pretty close to US pricing and I don't really mind paying a small premium to support the local AV shops. The only big item I got in the States was my Rotel amp but I got that while on vacation and took my annual personal exemption at customs. That's the way to do it.
