Home Theater Setups
« on: October 09, 2008, 02:32:25 PM »
Whatcha all got for a home theater setup?  Upstairs we have a zenith 55" tv that we had before the hd sets came out and darnit, the thing works as good today as it did years and years ago.  I have an infinity surround sound setup for that.

Downstairs, I have a Panasonic EU-900 projector and a home made screen that I built from a diy home theater forum.  I currently use 2 channel audio for this, and speakers are Magnepan SMGa's with a small 8" yamaha subwoofer that I bought for 99 bucks.  I have a 325 watt per channel rms Adcom amp for the maggies and a line drive tube powered preamp.  Oppo dvd player and also have a HI-DEF Sat receiver and also a power conditioner for all above components.

Bought a leather lazyboy couch and loveseat  and one of the bestest things... I bought a real popcorn popper like the movies and bought the pre packaged popcorn stuff just like the movie theater and the high school gym poppers in the concession stands.

This winter a couple of considerations is to buy a lot better subwoofer and maybe a blu-ray player if prices come down and dvd's too.  Also have thought about selling most of my equipment and some r/c stuff and getting a new 5.1 or 7.1 setup in a year or so.
To understand true love, lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car for an hour and then see which one is glad to see you when you come back
