The Gehring Home Theater (baby steps)

[WillGehring]

What do you do when you live in college housing and don't have room for a home theater? You try to cram one in anyway. Here are my efforts to date. I've had modest surround setups in my house for years but this is my first attempt on my own with my own hard earned money. So it's an exercise in sticking to a budget. What do you all think? I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions.

View the gallery here.

Equipment (Home Theater):
Yamaha RX-V471 Receiver
Sony SS-CN5000 Center Channel
Sony SS-U610 Front Speakers
Sony SS-B1000 Surrounds
BIC America F-12 Subwoofer
Panasonic DMP-BD75 Blu-ray Player

Equipment (Two Channel):
Pioneer PL-530 Turntable
Modular Component Systems 3248 Receiver
Cerwin Vega RE-25 Speakers







I followed the suggestions I received on here and went with the Panasonic DMP-BD75 as a simple budget Blu-ray player. It's time to begin my collection!



To test it out I ordered Planet Earth on Blu-ray. What a wonderful series!

Very nice setup!!

Thanks! I forgot to post a pic of the 2-channel setup I have back home. You can see it in the gallery but here's a glance.

Next up on my upgrade list is the TV. I hope to buy a new one in the next month or two and then I'm going to focus on doing whatever I can to bludgeon my dorm room for next year into an acoustically acceptable space (lol who am I kidding).

Thanks! Yeah I just now got around to re-uploading pics after the data loss. Good to be back.

And we're back! New dorm room, which means here I go again attempting to make something out of nothing.
The acoustics are absolutely abysmal. It's never going to be a great listening room, but I am going to try to improve it a bit.

I'll post pics of my progress soon! Thanks for viewing.
