Lunchbox's Home Theater 2.0 - Blu-ray Forum

lunchbox · 02-12-2009, 02:32 AM

I finished the basement 3 years ago and ran all my speaker wire for 7.1 when I did it. At the time I also had a 29 week preemie little boy so my home theater didn't get my full attention. Got the 55" Sony TV, Yamaha HTR-5860 receiver, Sony upconvert DVD and a Sony HTIB. It served my purpose but I always figured I'd upgrade it at some point.

Got a Panasonic Bd-35 for christmas which led to the Pioneer 1018 receiver. I figured since I had a new receiver I might as well upgrade speakers to take advantage of the new receiver. Did some reading on this forum and picked up the Polk 50s, 30s, CS1 and ED A2-300. Did a little more reading around here and picked up the APC H15 and Harmony One. I also liked the Home Theater signs many members have and tracked one down on Ebay that I liked and had the guy make a couple. I didn't like the way the logo sign turned out so I had a sign company in town cut me new logos and I fixed it.

My system is entry level compared to many on this forum but for my needs it sounds fantastic, cost what I wanted to spend and turned out like I wanted.

Feel free to tell me what you think, new pics are up in my gallery.

ED-A200 sounds great. I came from a Sony 8" HTIB sub that I realize now sounded like a$$. I have the ED-A200 set up on the mild side so I don't bother the wife or kids while they sleep at night. It blends well with everything and I don't notice the bass coming from the corner like I did with the old sony. I've got it set so you can still feel it in your chest and through the seat but not enough to cause a heart murmur when something explodes.
