Ok I'm bored and this particular topic just came to mind so I figured what the heck, at least it's not a YAGT :p. In any case post the equipment you have and pics if you wish. Don't currently have any pics on mine although I may take a few.

Equipment List

TV: Samsung TXN2726
VCR: Sony SLV-AX10 Hi-Fi 4 Head
DVD: Samsung M-101
Audio: Sharp MD-R3 3 CD changer & minidisc deck
Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR-230
Game Consoles: XBox & GameCube
Speakers: Sony fronts, KLH center & rears (will upgrade all eventually)
Subwoofer: Paradigm PDR-10

And for the picky folks I guess you would call my setup more of a home entertainment system than home theatre, but whatever :p. Btw I purchased the Paradigm sub from a shop in the Denver area called Cherry Creek Audio. If you live in the Denver area I HIGHLY recommend you pay them a visit if you have any audio/video needs. They have a real nice setup with individual rooms with various setups in each along with some brand names that you don't find in CC like NAD and others. Hell the salesperson that let me listen to a few subs took my needs into account along with my budget and fit me to just the right sub and knew what the hell she was talking about.

lets see.. between the two of us (roomie and I) we have..

Apex 27" TV
Toshiba DVD (i think)
Some VCR
gamecube
Philips / Magnavox MMX450 HomeTheater in a Box... 80x5 + 50x1 DD5.1, DTS, Prologic..

It sounds good for us, considering how much I paid for the HT box.. it works for us.. and we are happy (well i know i am).

TV - Panasonic PT50LC13 (50" LCD RPTV)
DVD - Denon DVM-1815
Receiver - Marantz SR-780
Remote - Marantz RC2000
Panasonic Showstopper (ReplayTV)
Gamecube (Component video with 4 wavebirds)
Boston Acoustics System 9000 speaker system (Micro 90 front and center, VRS Micro surrounds, 10" subwoofer)
Toshiba VCR


I'd like to upgrade the receiver, but I can't justify the cost right now. I figure in about 3 years I'm gonna do a complete sound upgrade (speakers, receiver, DVD-A/SACD). Next purchase for me will most likely be a HDTV receiver, as soon as I can find the perfect one. The LG 3510 comes close.
