Mr. Bullseye Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Home theater has been my number one hobby for the past year. Finished up my first dedicated room right before I deployed using one of the spare bedrooms. Still needs some a few things done- new carpet, posters/signs, a new rack, acoustic room treatments and get the wires hidden. Speakers Mains: BIC HT-75 Center: BIC HT-65 Surrounds: BIC HT-63 Subwoofer: HSU VTF-3 MKII Receiver: Harmon Kardon AV330 DVD Player: Pioneer DV-588A-S Projector: Infocus 4805 Screen: DIY 92" Home depot Do-able board Remote: Harmony 659 Furniture: Berkline triple recliner Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271229-definitive-home-theatre-setup-thread/page/5/#findComment-587828954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway. Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Not the prettiest and a bit overkill but I love it :D How's the Bravia? I'm guessing that's the 40 inch model. I'm thinking about picking one up.

TruckWEB Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Rotel isnt "Pro gear", its Hi-Fi audio equipment not sold in big box retail chains. You could just go with NAD or Denon. As good or better and will not "completely" kill your wallet...

morficus Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 ok... time to show off my stuff ;) The TV is new (got it on Monday) and the A/V receiver is also new.

I'm waiting to get my 2 HDMI cables, they'll replace the component cables from the reciver to the TV and from the cable box to the receiver. Then all the consoles will hook up to the switch.

coolmonk Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Been a while since I posted in here and a few upgrades have been made since then. Here's the full list of my HT components: - B&W 802D (front speakers) - B&W HTM2D (center speaker) - B&W 805 (surround speakers) <-- not pictured - Definitive Technology SuperCube (subwoofer) - Gemstone Audio Blue Diamond (multichannel amp) - Panamax 5510 Pro (power stabilizer) - Rotel RSP 1068 (surround sound processor) - DVDO iScan VP30 (video processor) - Arcam CD23 (cd player) - Marantz DV9600 (sacd/dvd player) - Playstation 3 (blu-ray disk player) <-- not pictured - Sony KDS-R70XBR2 (70" 1080p hdtv) <-- just received...not pictured And now for the photos... Almost everything is wired with Audioquest and MIT cables. Total cost of everything? Hmm....I can't say for sure but close to $30,000 I think. The speakers were the biggest purchase.
