MARVEL's Three HT's

Here's some pics of my HT's. First up is my living room. A quick rundown of my equipment is: Pioneer LDS104, Pioneer VSX-D3S, Pioneer DV414 dvd player, PS2 and my DVR cable box. The LFE runs an Aiwa TSW-6 60w sub. There is a Aiwa TSW-6 35 watt sub for the surrounds to run full range. The speakers are Sony.

Number two is in my bedroom it is a Pioneer theater in a box I believe the model is HTD-59 feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It's a 5 disc changer w/ dolby and dts. Oh yeah you can see the right surround in the reflection of the mirror. The view is from my bed.

And here's the dedicated HT. I based it on a theater I went to in my home town. It's in the old Master bedroom that is painted Garnet so everything is dark during a movie. The windows were covered to keep out ambient light. I also put foam rubber around the doors to stop vibrations and also keep out the light around the door. I hung fabric on the doors and walls also to cut down on the brightness of the sound in the room.
The equipment: Sony HTR speakers. Front L,R, Center and 8 surrounds. 4 on each side. The monitor sits on a 1 1/4 foot platform. Underneath is a Aiwa TSW-8 60w sub for the center channel. To the left of the platform is a Sony 60w sub that has the front L,R. An Velodyne VX 10 100w sub is on the right for the LFE. Behind the main seats is also a TSW-9 100w sub which drives the 8 surrounds. They are all on Monster THX certified cables. Every channel is full range.
I have a Infocus SP4805 projector with an 86" DIY screen.
The reciever is a Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver. Pioneer DV-414.

Here's a picture of my ESPN tv in the kitchen which is constantly feeding me my sports info. A destroyer droid protects it from women trying to change the channel!

The speakers are sitting on some decorative blocks which I use as stands.

Install GTK+ first and then Gimp. It will be foreign to you at first but once you get the hang of it, you will have a functional "free" PhotoShop-like tool you can do amazing things with.

Peace...

Actually, I really haven't. I did in the back of the room where doors are so no one would trip over them for the most part but other that that no. Only gonna be in this place for a year then I'm moving so I don't want to go that far with the place. I'll make a few changes when I get my projector in a couple of weeks.
