Just ordered new speakers!!(The offical hometheater thread)

[allbaugh_04]

Nice setup btw....what size screen is that?

101", could have went to 110" but I thought it looked better with a gap of color inbetween my border and speakers.

I guess I don't have a budget. I just think I am going to go with the Bostons I linked before and a refurbished Denon. I would like to hear some warmer speakers. I've heard the Boston's have that warm feeling. I could get the pair for 200 shipped, and the Denon for 109. I doubt anything can beat this without spending another $200 bucks.

I would have liked to hear the Monitor 50s or 60s cuz I almost bought them last night, and I'd like to hear the Bic DV64s as well, but no one around here has anything like that...that I know of. Just ain't sure, and would like something now.

Yeah that sounds good to me........

This thread is giving me some ideas for my basement I'm getting ready to re-finish. I want to turn it into a complete man cave. After October I pretty much won't have a budget (within reason) so the idea of a nice theater set-up sounds like a good idea on top of the other ideas I have been thinking of.

I was thinking about doing the man cave thing, decided to do the man house/bachelor pad thing instead

[35th-ANV-SS]

Well my upstairs is already complete. Just need to do the basement. By the time I finish, I'll probably be ready to move

[allbaugh_04]

If we did the video chat thing I could see..

I upgraded the tv in the living room to a Samsung 60" LED 3D SmartTV and now I need to upgrade that stand it's sitting on. I moved the Samsung 40" LCD to the bedroom.

[allbaugh_04]

Put it on the wall.

[SiggyZ]

I'm debating that.

Put it on the wall.

That girls gone wild?

It's a Killers concert I was watching on Palladia.

[allbaugh_04]

Well everyone just left my scary movie marathon night, quite fun, I shall have another one. We watched Friday the 13th and cabin in the woods.

I am considering a man cave on my 3rd floor (3 story victorian).

It was poorly finished by the previous owners so we've been using it as an attic.

I have a massive 3 window dormer up there that you can see the whole lower half of town from.

The space is completely open in the 24x34' range. I think it would make an awesome cave.

The house is 100 years old and that floor is the only floor, (aside from a rewire) that we did'nt gut when we baught the house.

Our basement is just too short and I have to keep my head down to keep from bumping it on the beams so that space is out for finishing.

I did however finish a room down there with it's own climate control for when I mess with building curcuit boards an such but again it's too low to be a amn cave for entertainment.

The dormer on the 3rd floor is over 60 feet from street level, imho would make a great place to retreat to and chill/relax.

I'd also gain back the spare bedroom on my 2nd floor in the event we try for another kid..

[allbaugh_04]

Sounds like the potential is there.

[Smittro]

Yeah housing market here is shit so we're not going to sell @ this point for now.

Still looking for what would be a 3rd place though, or possibly building on one of the 2 properties we have between us.

Hopefully when/if the market comes back we can off load the city property.

If we build my next shop with be a 2 story with a man cave over it..

**Update**

I decided against putting it on the wall since I probably won't be in this house for much longer, but here it is with a much needed upgrade for a TV stand.

[allbaugh_04]

Thanks for the update. BRB, going to my cave....

Oh, got any non phone pics? Looks like you have a wife with all the candles and shit, I gotta get me one so she can decorate...

[SiggyZ]

Here's some taken with my Canon (blurry because I forgot and left the tripod at the office), but you get the idea. And the candles were a gift from my mom for Christmas and the GF (also chose the TV stand) set them out how she wanted them to be.

[allbaugh_04]

Looks good/clean. TV stand fits well. I'll have to post up my upstairs setup.

Jon, did you end up doing anything to your basement?

[SiggyZ]

Thanks. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a pretty nice piece for only around $500. It measures 65" wide (the TV's a 60"), 37" high and 18" deep. I'll try and take some better pics with the tripod.
