your room looks like a converted garage? or basement? still nice set up

Yeah, its a basement.

As we speak I am updating the photos with better pictures (new camera).

I hope you invested in some rugs before spending cash on a new camera.

Nick

No, its my Bros camera. I don't want to invest in floor coverings because the room will have carpet.

Also, my computer chair has wheels, and it would be able to roll over the rugs.

Reminds me of my first system. I like the look of the centre channel. For some reason I have to like how the speaker looks or I won't even give it a try. Weird huh?

Um....shouldn't that be PB-12NSD/V? But don't you think that two of those is a little much for such a small room?


Edit: Where are you hiding those Pioneer HPM-100s? I'd like to get my hands on something like that. They look bloody awsome. See above comment. I think I better hit some yard sales this summer. You never know what one could find for $5.

I'll put those right next to my Soundtech C600 system that I've only used twice. Both times to play "Boombtang boys - popcorn". Poor neighbours. I think they should move out of their semi and get a real house. muhahahahahahaha.

Yeah yeah, its the NSD, and no, its not overkill

The ones I linked in the speakers thread were not mine, just some I found on the net. Mine are missing the silver piece that goes around the port.

I will take a shot of mine for you today, and BTW, they arn't for sale.

Keep up the good work Sheep.

I went a long time without an HT because of a lack of funds so I can sympathize with your position.

Nothing is harder than being an Audioholic on a beer budget!

Enjoy!

I wouldn'y say "Lack" of funds, but more, I can't spend my money ON my HT. Life sucks.

Life sucks. SheepStar

Ahhhh. A fatalist. Been reading Nietzsche lately? Enjoy what you have while you have it, because tomoroow is promised to no one, and the grass is always greener. How about a smiley face?

Rofl, good one.

I do enjoy what I have, but My work for some reason stopped paying me and I am kinda getting PO'd.

Who knows, tomorrow could hold assault charges.

SheepStar

 

[Johnd]

Well, that would probably upset me too, but not to the level of assault. One's character is defined at times of difficulty though, not at times of "nirvana". Hopefully, you'll get all you deserve in life (as we all should). Cheers.

I am mostly likely (90% sure) leaving this job. The owner keeps trying to make me change my career path (for his own benifit), and I havent been paid in 2 weeks (I get paid per week, its weird).

What would you do?

If this is true, does that mean there is still a chance for group sex in my future? (....and I don't mean by having an extended prison stay)

 

[Johnd]

In my state you can file a complaint with DWD (Department of Workforce Development). They will issue a demand letter, and if that verifiable amount is not paid within ten days, double damages is immediately enforced as a sanction.

Sheep,

Hey, I thought of a good, cheap way to dress up those speaker stands some. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Actually, I finally received my paycheck this morning, about 10 days late.

It won't matter, I am in the works of starting a new job, that pays better, and is closer to home (I have to take 3 busses to get to work).

HopJohn,

Thanks! That looks really nice. Unfortunately, these stands are merely temp, as the construction is very poor, and the materials are less then ideal (pressure treated wood and MDF tops).

That dark paneling brings back horrible memories. I would get some paint and a roller and paint your room all one color. I see lots of materials that don't really mix. You also could get some thick industrial-grade paint and paint the concrete floors. I did that to my garage and it gave it a much smoother and consistant finish. I also didn't mind walking on it barefooted.


Props on the setup, but at least spray-paint those "custom stands". I think that the will look a lot better in black.


Good luck!

I'm not doing anything to this room as it eventually will be destoryed by my hands (can't wait..). Everything that changes in it will be for my theater. If I had my way, EVERYTHING would go except for 2 couches, and the tv stand. But alas, I need to live somewhere.

BTW, everything looks better in black.

And since this IS my system thread, I'll post a pick of me and my Garage system. Yes thats right, ME. The man you all love to hate. It's actually the stereo we setup for our workout area in the garage. Whats lifting weights without underground metalcore?

Specs: Technics Stereo receiver & tuner, 120WRMS per channel
LG all-format dvd player (ecept for DVDA, SACD, HDVD, and Blu-Ray[Duh])
Pioneer HPM-100s.

Sheep,

You look like a chick teen hearthrob from the late 70's/early 80's. You probably don't remember this guy because of your age, but geezus. Anyone else think I'm nuts? Anyone know who this is...

 

[mike c]

wow, I had a totally different imagination of what you looked like.

 

[Sheep]

Buck,

ROFL! As you can clearly see, he is nothing to shake a stick at.

Mike,

I will assume you meant that in a positive manner, so thanks!
