Show off your home theater setup! [56k warning]

As the title says, lets see those HT's badass and modest alike


I'll start things off with my general BR watching + PS3 gaming setup.



120GB Slim PS3 and LiteOn DVD+VHS on a 42" Panasonic Veira (Plasma, 720p) paired with a Denon receiver putting out to 2 large Realistic and 2 small Bose speakers. I don't know anything about the models of the speakers, I just found them in the attic a while back and decided to hook em up

I think we have the same TV...

42" Panasonic Viera Plasma (mounted to the wall)
Pioneer Receiver (soon to be a Denon AVR-1610)
Infinity Primus 250's
Cerwin Vega VE-5C Center
Pioneer surrounds (not pictured)
AudioSource floor firing subwoofer (not pictured or hooked up at the moment)
PS3, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, NES, Wii

The computer next to the tv used to have guts in it, but since I got the PS3, i stream all my movies my my gaming rig, via wireless.

Yep. That TV has served me very well for the past 4 years. Never had a single problem except getting some burn in from when an image sits in the same place too long (like the minimap circle in GTA IV), although the burn would always go away after a little use. Also, nice retro systems you've got there

Moved my little setup down to my room to escape the heat of where it was at. I also get 100% signal strength now (vs. 5-25% before), which makes vidya streaming and online play a ton smoother.



This is just a quick shot, I may get some better ones tomorrow with the blinds open and stuff.

Yeah... but my apartment here isn't as noise friendly as my old house. I'm taking some grad classes here and teaching English, and made the compromise of having no home theater, no projector, no surround sound, etc. but made up for it with a really nice new set of headphones and a flat panel tv.

I've watched Avatar in 1080P on my lg screen with this sound system and i even hear the whistling of computers in the movie and little noise that the screens are making when the text are rolling down in the lab. Many new sound system would not even be able to do that. I'm proud and happy to found it. Extremely rare set of speakers and guys selling it 150$ on the net even if it 32 years old.

Those Duals can hit down to 25hz?! That's pretty impressive -they look like some pretty nice speakers. I'd love to hear how they sound.
