Greetings,
My living room project is finally ramping down. It took me a year but It was well worth it. I'm thinking I want to put some vertically long pictures to the sides of the TV or a shelf above it, what do you thingk?
Anyway, here's what I got going on in there:
Yamaha HTR 5250 receiver – an oldie but goodie
Aperion 532 L'Rs, 422's, 533 VAC
Velodyne DPS 12 (hoping to be replaced by a Bravus one of these days so I can put the Velodyne back in the basement where it belongs. But it goes low, is smooth, musical and blends in nicely with the Aperions superior soundstaging
Sony Playstation 3
Panasonic 50PZ700U
Monoprice wall mount and cabling ($25 for a nice wall mount, $5 for HDMI cables, $12 for High quality digital optic audio cable and $7 for high quality subwoofer cable, are you kidding me!)
Custom built speaker stands to match fireplace mantle- priceless :)
I know the equipment list might not be quite as elaborate as some of you guys, but it cost a heck of a lot of money and hard work to get the room where it is now. I would have loved to get towers, just no more money left in the bucket :( Plus, the media experience in there is beautiful as is. Nothing like dimming the lights, throwing a movie on your panny and listening to the surround raise from the depths of the Aperions! Last night I enjoyed the season fnale of the Sarah Conner Chronicles in HD! Awesome
So here are some pics of my room before and after. I apologize for the image quality, my digital camera batteries died so I had to use my camera phone for the after shots. I couldn't wait to get these pics out here. If you guys have any coments on speaker placement please let me know. I originally had the Velodyne on the right side of the room in the corner and it sounded boomy and didn't blend in to well, know I have it on the left and you can't hear it but you can feel it :)
Dan.
