any chance you could check out my setup?

[samdaman94]

hey guys and gals

just wondering if you could check out and comment/rate my setup.

it's not 100% yet and nowhere near as good as most of the setups on this site, but i like it

if all you have to say is negative stuff just dont bother.

thanks a bunch
constructive critisicism and help is appreciated

EDIT - TAKEN PICS DOWN AND WILL PUT THEM BACK UP WHEN THE SET UP IS FINISHED

You don't have speakers yet and your wiring could use some work.

I can see the potential for a great looking setup, but you aren't there yet.

I would suggest getting closer to completion before you start fishing for ratings.

Looks good so far. Keep us posted.
I like the clean black and white look.

Thanks

Hello and WELCOME!! Unlike @ least 2 of the members here, I will avoid rating your setup for the moment because there's still time. However, I do like the shelves you have for your disc and I think the HDTV looks really nice mounted on the wall (but the wires to/from the TV need to be concealed in some way as just a suggestion - there are many products out there which you can purchase to do that). Also, you really don't indicate what equipment you own (other than the TV). You should indicate what blu-ray player you are using and if you already own a receiver or some other device for your audio, you should include those items in your equipment list. It will help members with their evaluation. Lastly, I would recommend that you turn the rating score setting of your profile to "OFF" for the time being because hopefully you can already see a trend in the ratings which you have already been given (and statistically, it is difficult to raise a lower score if you receive too many ratings below 4.0). Just MHO and advice (and if you need some advice regarding speakers, don't be afraid to ask)!

Hey

Thanks very much for all your comments

I have put the bluray model number, but I have no idea what model the TV is - sorry!

Don't have reciever as I don't have any speakers yet, hoping to get some in the new year. Don't have money for speakers right now, as I'm getting blurays. The sound on my TV is pretty good to be honest!

I will be hiding the cables more once I have everything I want connected to the TV, still working on it. Got some consoles to hook up yet

Will be looking for advice regards speakers late december/early january, I can message you then?

Cheers

Hi and thanks for the Friend request!! Feel free to message me anytime; I'm retired so I have all of the time in the world. Don't know how helpful I can be regarding different speaker brands because I've been partial to Definitive Technology speakers since the 80's when THX first appeared as an audio option. Back then, I listened to THX approved speakers and I just thought the DF's were better for both movies and music! Here's a link for a 5.1 system from them which is reasonably priced and would go nicely with your setup! [http://www.definitivehometheaterloud...hometheater=1] Also, I noticed from one of your screenshots, your photos above your TV and the movies you own that you really like Al Pacino! He's a really multi talented actor and I like him a lot too!

So what are we rating here, the TV and a Blu Ray player ? If I were you I'd turn off the rating until completed so you don't get nailed by some posters on here.

Hello!! Im new here too, i def understand the whole just getting started/ not a lot of cash at the moment thing!!!! i love the look of your room, nice and clean. 1 question though where do you plan on putting your speakers?

[sinister184]

nice start. I like the neutral wall colors but i think your shelves will pose a problem later on with equipment placement
