nice man just a couple things.

1. i'd be worried about your components getting too hot the way you currently have it stacked on top of eachother. i'd look into getting some ventilation back there and making shelves so they can breathe.

2. if there is anyway you can change your speaker placement from being on it's side i'd strongly recommend trying it. speakers sound different sideways and vertical, and having 1 one way and the other the other way seems like it could make for some odd results, especially since they are different heights. hopefully your avr has some kind of sound calibration software like audyssey that can at least try to manage it a bit.

3. from the pics it looks like the speakers aren't angled at all. it looks like the center channel is just pointing parallel to the ceiling. you should try to at least angle it down to the sitting area.

1. Shelves are slats, hard to see in the pic. Also, the great part about MI. That basement never gets above 65 degrees or so. But yeah, i am going to see if i can get a fan on the stuff hooked up to a thermocouple.
2. Yeah. Not sure i can make that work because of the door. Those are some OLD yamaha 3 ways YS-8. But yeah, AVR has audyssey and i ran the calibration on it as soon as i found the setup mic. Speaker is too tall and wide and would cover up the corner of the screen.
3. Again, hard to see in the pics, speakers are pointed toward seating but good call. I need to change the rears up a bit, they are just sitting flat on that shelf back there.
