Who has the best set up

[ShawnE94SL]

I say modest becuase I haven't really spent a whole lot of money on this system. My NHT speakers were purchased back in 1997 and still sound great to this day. They are the only items I haven't replaced. I just recently replace my entire rack system with this Sony STRDG-1000. My previous system included a Kenwood VR-8070 with three THX certified Kenwood KM-X1000 amps. I was a huge Kenwood fan for a while and that system sounded great but I wanted to have HDMI swtching. I ended up selling all of the above on Ebay and purchasing my new receiver and the PS3 with the money. I did put money out for a new Sub and TV though

Here is a link to it on the manufacturers site. You can use their dealer locater if you need to find one.

It been a while since I heard them but I always liked NHT speakers. And I second the stand, I like it too. Though I think I would not leave the PS3 on top of a speaker due to vibrations.

Grrrr, another one bites the dust

Unfortunately they seem to only manufacture for the local market in North America. Have sent them an email, but don’t hold up much hope.

Thanks ebanks for the link however. Back to scanning this thread.

I may just end up keeping the stand after all.

I don't think the PS3 is getting much of a vibration from the center channel. I had to place it there because it was getting way too hot enclosed on the shelves. I tried placing it to the right or left but it just didn't look right to me.

Wow! Got pictures?

Whoops. Forgot to mention my HT room is both camera and aesthetically-challenged.... The room originally was a 2-car garage converted to a Den; I subsequently added a unhandyman-built stage for 2-row seating and blocked all the windows off with homemade panels and curtains for decent light control. I still need to add front curtains to block off the unsightly utility room door, bathroom door, secondary convergence-challenged 48" TV sitting on top of concrete blocks (to get it above the center channel), shelves, open rack for electronics, etc....

After seeing the great feedback and nice pictures of what people are enjoying their Blu-ray on, I had to add a few pix of my own. Great Thread!







Enjoy and good luck!

[finalfantasy]

Wow...that is fantastic!!!

I am simply amazed by all of the set ups...

The ultimate play room...

Couldn't resist. But seriously, sweet setup dudes.

My favorite setup so far

[ay221]

I noticed Wolfgang had a stack of blu-rays. Guess you need it when watching a 23 foot wide screen.

[HDJK]

That would be number 2 right after Marzettas setup:

Mine is relatively modest as well, but I do have 1080p and DTS-MA!!!

I get giddy every time I see the DTS-MA light come on, I just can't help it
