Impressed with my kids setup

[DiverSpear]

My daughter and her boyfriend have been working on putting together a HT, and I was at their house yesterday hooking everything up for them and I think they did quite well for themselves.

They have a PS3, Sony XBR 4 40", Sony 7000 fronts, B1000 rears, CN5000 center, and a Polk Audio PSW505, the receiver is my old Sony receiver (don't remember the model number but it isn't a HDMI receiver).

After everything was hooked up and calibrated for the room, I was quite impressed with the sound. We listened to music and a movie. What really impressed me was the sound of the front speakers and the sub, that Polk sub is really tight and accurate and of course the kids liked it because it hit hard when they were jamming out to music.

The next thing they are saving up for is a new receiver. They like the new DH800 by Sony and of course the ES line. So they are going to save their money and make a decision then. I did notice I heard my daughter saying, "Daddy I love you" a lot last night, I think that is a hint. LOL

For the money they have invested, I think it is an incredible system. They got some killer deals from the internet and mom and dad.

In case you are wondering the PS3 is connected to the TV via HDMI from monoprice of course, and optical to the receiver. So for you guys that do not have a HDMI receiver don't sweat it it still sounds good, granted you are not getting the lossless audio but everything takes time.

Now it will be fun to visit them because I think they will be spending more at their house and not mine. Not sure if that is good or not. I know mom will miss spending time with her daughter.

Once again good job to my kids.
