Tomd51's HT Setup

[Sheep]

I considered a real plaque, but for the money, I don't think they're worth it, at least the ones I saw.

If you've got a decent printer and nice satin finish photo paper, you can do yourself up a nice print, find a good frame that matches your decor and you've got yourself a decent wall hanging w/out spending too much... -TD

Well, these would go on my door, enerting my room. I've seen plaques that say "This theater Features ...yadda yadda" And I want to get ones for DD EX and DTS ES.

Oh wait, I have THX cert. component, subwoofer, and optical cables. Sweet! THX plaque, here I come!

I was finally able to snap some pictures of my setup (one's a bit out of date, the equip. rack is the most current). As with most others here, this is a work in progress. Here's the equipment list:

Hitachi 61SWX12B HDTV Monitor
Yamaha RX-V2500 Receiver (used as pre/pro)
Sunfire Cinema Grand 200~five Amplifier
Boston Acoustics VR3s (F)
Boston Acoustics VR12 (C)
Axiom QS8s (SS)
Axiom M3s(SB)
DISH 622 HD DVR STB
Yamaha DVD-C750 Universal DVD Changer
SVS 20-39PCi Subwoofer
Belkin PureAV Home Theater Power Console PF31
Tripp Lite HT10DBS Isobar Surge Suppressor

Current/future HT projects include:
- DIY and GIK acoustic panels (in progress, half-way there..)
- back wall curtains (in progress, 3/4's of the way there)
- cable management (several component changes in last few months)
- building carpeted riser from front wall to behind seating area
- new carpeting after riser implemented
- replace existing lighting w/drop lighting & wall sconces
- build/buy bar (done!)
- install wood/laminate flooring for bar area
- popcorn machine (done!)
- wall-to-wall curtain hiding all equipment up front (besides screen )

Suggestions and ideas are always welcome, but try to take it easy on the public humiliation, though... -TD

Nice. Suggestion, can you relocate the software cabinet to another location? This would clean things up a bit. Perhaps a closet somewhere?

There is a cat on ebay that sells pretty good quality dts,dd, etx logos suitable for framing. I believe they are printed on vinyl/plastic and not paper. Chech it out.

Thanks, things are a bit different than in the picture, but unfortunately, the bookshelf is still there...

The plan is to build an in-wall storage shelf for CDs and DVDs to the right of the system within the wall. I haven't done enough research yet where I can possibly buy a storage shelf built specifically for CDs and DVDs that is made for in-wall installation, which might be a simple solution, but chances are I'll end up building one and moulding to frame it in.

The only problem is getting the time for it, for some reason the wife doesn't find it to be a pressing project... -TD

ps
Thks for the eBay suggestion, I may check that out myself..

Sheep, you just freaked me out. A good friend of mine uses that same expression and I've always associated it with him and him alone as he's the only one I've ever heard use it. And now there's you.

And yes Tom...what Sheep said. Bravo!

 

[Sheep]

For the record, it's from southpark. A lot of people know it, they're just not bold enough to use it.

Sorry tom, didn't mean to hijack.
