My other expensive hobby is HT.

Who has a nice one? Post up some pics. Always nice to see what others have done.

I have a big ol mess. No really in reality it rocks...but it is a mismatched conglomeration of stuff from about 13 different manufacturers ....but hey...it works and sounds fricking better than some of my pals $5000 systems....and finally found a remote that is easy enough for Mama....at all places...Radio Shack...controls everything...6-1 remote with that chameleon touch screen....

[Wulfe13]

Sorry about the mess...

Oh, and all Monster Cables and Monster Power.

I decided on bookshelfs for the rear surrounds and poles for my side-surrounds. I have not decided if I like them or not.

I need to do some updating, but as of late we haven't been home enough to need to update the warez, but we have a rear projection HD 57" Sony TV, Sony head unit (I don't remember which number it is), with full surround (not 7.1 though) 100 watts per channel, Sony DVD Changer (HD), Gateway Connected DVD (connects to the network to play music, video's, pics, etc..), HD Cable, XBox 360 (HD of course), PS2 (with HD hookup), Cerwin Vega 15" "Front's", CV Center speaker, CV 8" rears, CV 250 watt powered sub (w/15" sub), HD Media Center Puter that I built, and the best of all, a Laser Disc player (I'm not even sure I hooked it up last time I redid everthing). Nothing terribly fancy, but it'll shake the hell outta the house.

I do have a couple of customers that either work for or own a home theater company, hmmmm.......

[third_shift|studios]

my bro built a theatre in his basement, here's a link to it's slide show. It plays kinda slow depending on your processor/connection speed. It's really awesome!

They made an HD version of the Sony changer? I already have their 400 DVD one.

[Sassy Cassie]

[Ed Blown Vert]

It worked now.

That's my dream room. Love the popcorn machine.

[third_shift|studios]

wonder why it didn't work? hmm. glad you could view it though.

[jacobyb]

I don't have pics but I have a Harmon/Kardon reciever that does 7.1. I have a Velodyne 10" sub for it.

[0rion]

I just have a 52" RCA and a 750watt sony surround system. All off the shelf type stuff but I'd love to dump the sony speakers at some point and upgrade. So many hobbies and so little time/cash.

[SSwt00SS]

How do you like the KLH's?

I like them alot. they hit good and have great range. better than the speakers I had before (sony). i will never again buy anything sony, their stuff craps out way before it's time, especially for the price you pay...

I agree on that Sony has become just a name with inferior product (for the most part).

I bought a Samsung 61" dlp tv last December... it's great, my first HD tv! I use DirecTV and got their HD/DVR receiver. I have a slightly older pioneer a/v receiver. It works great but I want to get a newer one that has the HDMI capability. I also have cerwin-vega surround satellite speakers, they do the job for me. I'm not really into sound systems but.....

When I got the new tv I moved my old Hitachi 50" into the living room and hooked up the xbox to it for my son to play on.

There are a pair of something else I would rather see

Sarge i've got one of these chameleon remotes to. Cool looking remote, but it aint worth shit as far as batteries go. Eats up batteries like crazy, does yours?

I want want of those Prontos but they are expensive!

I looked at them but decided on Polks.
