Here's my new setup that consist of 533 PTs for front, 533-VAC center, and 532-LRs for surround. I chose the Towers because I thought it would look better than a blocky sub up front. The TV is brand new too, the Sony 55" 55XS955.

So here's a picture of the front. I have an entrance on the left and an opening to the hallway on the right, so luckily I don't have a huge room with many wide openings.

The placement of the rear speakers, no room for 7.1 seeing as the couch is near the wall. To the left the only opening is to the kitchen.

More cool pictures:

I have a Panasonic SA-HE200, I plan to replace it soon with a Harman Kardon AVR-335.

Here's when I opened the velvet bag after unpacking the 533-PT:

Here's all the packages that came witht the first shipment, the 533-PTs had a later shipping date. You see here the care package with the SPL meter, the free wire kit, and the 532-LRs and 533-VAC

Here's how the 533-VAC was packed:

Here's the speaker wire kit:

Heya Brian,

Nice pics! Is that a stock photo-shop fade you're using or ???

Mike and I were both impressed and appreciative. It's nice to have the presentation represented. Good work!

I used Photoshop, simple gradients on each edge to fade it to the color the forum uses, bascially creating what you call a feathered photo.

Then when it came to things I didn't want faded, like speakers, I used a mask to hide the fading layer to bring them back.

Some of the more complicated ones with stronger fades I used a path tool to precut areas of the image and place them on top, like a lot of the wire kit. Then a little more work to fade some areas like trasparent plastics to look clear so it doesn't pop out against the white background.

So it was all done manually, no automatic feature, but usually you can do one thing in Photoshop many many different ways. I now notice some edges on some of the images that I need to fix so they blend into the forum better.

I'm a graphic artist so I'm in photoshop all day. Here's an example of a more intense job I did at work with many cuts and fades. Illustrator was also used for this too:

Cool shots Brian,

Hows that system working out for you?

I'm going to be purchasing a similar one soon and its nice to see the care in the packaging :)

So the wiring kit comes free? I've heard the SPL meter comes free from another board post which is a nice touch, but they should specify so on the purchase page so you don't buy an extra yourself :O 

Mark,

This is an old thread.

Below is a link that suggests that Brian may have switched to the 633-T’s.
