Can a new guy make a suggestion also??

How about "best cable management" gallery? I haven't seen all setups here, but I think ldgibson76 is a very strong candidate.

How about 'most upgrades/changes for 2009'. I know 2 people in strong contention for that.

I'll fill this out later. I was up till 4:30am (getting my pre-birthday swerve on ). Then had to drive to Des Moines and back to my place at 8 this morning.

Yeah definitely NOT YOU!

Jason,

Very good thread! This should be done at the end of 2010 or early 2011 like the Oscars of Bluray.com

You and Brent were the ones I was thinking of. I suppose I could be taken into consideration if people want to go there I won't object any. Nap time. Then movie time.

Yeah...yeah...yeah...say what you want The Blues have approximately 140 hours on them. The dual 8 inch woofers are starting to losen up. I am watching 9 right not to give them a work out.

Brain Sturgeon wins all categories (IMO).
There are many good Home Theaters, his is GREAT!!!

You never think of me...I feel so alone

How about most improved HT? Think of where someone's HT was at the beginning of the year and where it is now.........GeologyNut and Todd come to mind.....

Or how about a "rookie of the year" of "best newcomer" award?
