Finally got everything in place and organized since moving in a couple months ago(I change my mind a lot so I kept rearranging things). Next will be the big screen w/ stand to replace the current TV and A/V stand(probably around Xmas time). Anyone want to donate to my TV fund?? :D

Just thought the HT buffs would enjoy the pics of my meager beginnings since I like looking at other people's setups also.

Anyone that would want specs should be able to identify pretty much everything there...

that looks like the "home theater" I had back in college. Get yourself a big screen TV before you take pics and embarass yourself.

Looks like a good start. I like the component stand, I am planning on getting one soon.

Talk about getting the opposite reaction of what you'd expect in a HT show off thread. I felt sorry for you til I read your helpful response.

The old school Super Nintendo under the tv rocks! You have many carts for it? Thats my fav part of this entire setup :)

But seriously, cmon guys, no need to tear this guy down for what he has or doesnt have. I mean, if ya cant give possitive / helpfull sugestions, then why bother commenting at all?

Haha, not that many, about 10. I still play it sometimes though. Zelda: A Link to the Past is the best SNES game ever.

And thanks for sticking up for me, but it's not needed. This wasn't a brag thread, just felt like posting some pics. Those that are criticizing me are just jealous of my 1337 setup. ;)

BS! I can't even tell what kinda bookshelves those are... and that sub doesn't look too good where it is at dude. When in doubt....FIND A CORNER! All I can make out is an Onkyo receiver, so really I don't care anymore...

I think he is referring to the file size in bytes, not hxw?

Bwaahaha... LMFAO...Reagan.


Seriously dude, what you have is an OK surround setup for your TV. Good enough to cover the basic 5.1. Nothing more.

A true HT typically meets the following minimum requirements:
1) Dedicated room
2) Calculated seating distances and viewing angles
3) Front projection setup
4) > 90" screen
5) Built in / permenantly mounted surround sound system components
5) 100% ambient light control
6) (Usually) acoustical treatments
7) Creates the illusion of being somewhere AWAY from the house (i.e. at a theater)

Everything else is just a surround sound system in your living room (even if you do have a 70" plasma TV).
JR..

Wow, some really bitter people in here. In case you didn't catch it the "home theater" was in "quotes" because it's not a "real home theater".

Some of you need to lighten up a bit.

I think you did a fine job for what you were trying to do. :beer:


Some of these guys think if they have a huge screen TV or projector, it will make their johnson bigger.
