Big Daddy's Home Theater Thread

[Big Daddy]

I added about 40 pictures to my Gallery. They are all in very low resolution so that they load quickly. You can have as much fun as you want with my gallery. I have a sense of humor and will not get offended.

The HT room is not finished yet. The A/V rack in the gallery is temporary. I am in the process of ordering two high quality Euro racks (6 or 7 shelves each) from Sanus to organize the equipment more professionally. After that, I need to spend a lot of time organizing and hiding the wires.

More pictures of my setup can be viewed in the Upgrading & Building Subwoofers thread.

I plan to order two Sanus 7 shelves audio racks. I will adopt you if you and your wife agree to move all the equipment and connect all the wires. As a bonus, you get to watch any movie you want for a whole week.

I have donated as many old equipment as you see on the list to my relatives and friends. I believe only one relative offered to pay for the nice Pioneer Elite receiver that he took.

Thanks. This is worst than a full-time job. I don't think I have the stamina to rearrange everything after I receive the new A/V racks. That is one reason I have been hesitating about placing the order. Connecting the wires takes a good 24 hours.
