Here are some pics off my first HT. I called it my "Frankenstien" system. It was a system that I put together with my old equipment and my new wife's equipment. This was a system built with no budjet as my wife was a full time college student and we were living on one income. It consisted of a 27" Philips tv, a Sony DVD player, old Kenwood stereo (L & R channel), old Aiwa stereo (Surround channel), old Sony stereo (Center). For the center speaker i used a RCA center speaker that i bought at a K-Mart that was going out of business for $5. I sounded a little better than running the center thru my tv. This was a frustrating little system mainly due to the 3 diffrent volume controls. For the surrounds I would place the speakers on top of a box that set in a chair while in use and would have to move them back to where you see them below while not in use. With all the difficulties I loved this little system. It was a lot of fun tinkering with. Here is my good ol "Frankenstien".
Here is the new system. After about 5 years with Frankenstien I finally starting upgrading. It took me about a year to build this system. It consists of a Denon 3805, Def. Tech. 7002's, CLR 2500, & a pair of BPX's, same DVD player (waiting on HD player to upgrade) & the Panasonic 50" TH-50PX50U. Cables & Wire from BlueJean cables. On one of my back walls there was no where to mount the right surround speaker. Instead of mounting them on the rear wall I made the speaker stands so i can pull them out an place them in there correct location. They work pretty well but I may go back an make some out of metal tubing. I could not be happier with my new HT. Take a look and see what ya think. My future upgrades are HD DVD player, rear surrounds (probably in-walls, the wife is maxed out on the # of speakers not to mention there size), and maybe even a supercube sub.
I hope this works. This is the first time i have tried to post pics.
