This round of upgrades included buying a new house. Yes...the Mrs. and I have jumped into the waters of home ownership...no more renting, no more landlords. This allowed us to really personalize our family room theater with some color. Additionally, we were able to explore new storage solutions for our ever growing DVD and CD collections...(notice the bookcases behind the sweet spot in the 4th picture below). We also had to part ways with our last couch, it was just too big for the dimensions of our new room...but we found one that suited our needs fairly well and left us with some room to spare.

The layout and seating distance is fairly ideal. I'd have liked to push the front speakers farther apart, but due to the size and placement of the sub, was not able to make it work...upgrading the front stage might pose some future difficulties but I'm sure a workable solution can be achieved when the time does come.

A lot of the equipment is the same from previous iterations, but there are some noteworthy additions...the most noteworthy being the SVS PB12-Plus. This sub is flat out AWESOME. For one thing, it's size alone is foreboding. This thing is HUGE...but damn does it put out some great bass. Very authoritative but also articulate. Not muddy or boomy at all. Music is very controlled and precise and movies never lacked for impact. It's probably over twice the size of my last sub but infinitely better in it's performance capabilities.

As it stands, I couldn't be happier with my latest round of revisions...a new house, some new equipment...what more could a guy ask for?

**The previous two iterations of my setup can be found Here**.
