Steve's Updated HT Gallery

[Steve]

Here's my HT gallery. This first post is kept updated as changes/upgrades are made so that the pictures always show my HT accurately. Components are:

Samsung FP-T5084 50" 1080p Plasma
Cyron 6-Pack Light Kit
Pioneer Elite SC-25 AV Receiver
PS3-80 GB Backward Compatible
Xbox 360 Elite - Updated pic below, more coming soon
Dish Network VIP612 Dual-Tuner HD DVR
Ninetndo Wii
Classic Nintendo Entertainment System
Logitech Harmony One
Logitech Harmony PS3 Adapter
Klipsch RF-82 Mains
Klipsch RC-62 Center
Klipsch RS-62 Surrounds
MFW-15 Subwoofer
Belkin PF60 Power Conditioner

All HDMI cables, subwoofer cables, speaker wire, and the TV mount are from Monoprice.

New screen shots from Star Trek and Terminator Salvation.





Here are a few new ones of the front of my room which show UP and G.I. Joe.







I just replaced my receiver (Onkyo 605) with an new Pioneer Elite SC-25. So far it's completely awesome. I also recently replaced my old Xbox 360 console with an Elite.





My system as it is now.



Screen shots after adding a Cyron 6 Pack light kit.









It's been a little while in the making, but I recently did a speaker upgrade and here are some pictures of everything.

Here's a pic of my system before making some substantial upgrades. The system was an Onkyo HT-SP908 HTiB. It included a TX-SR605 receiver and a 7.1 speaker setup (but I didn't use two of the speakers).



In order be able to put my new center speaker - Klipsch RC-62 - in a decent place I first had to mount my TV on the wall. TV is a Samsung FP-T5084 50" 1080p plasma mounted on a tilting mount from monoprice.



The following are shots of my new surrounds and subwoofer - Klipsch RS-62's and MFW-15. The subwoofer is on a riser I built for it.







Here are a few shots of the seating area.





The most recent addition in the room is this thing called a cornice box (thanks Avond) over my vertical blinds. It was built for us by a friend who makes custom mantles. I only show pics of it because it has some hidden rope lighting in it, which adds a nice effect in the room while it's dark.





New upgrade today. I replaced my Harmony 550 with a new Harmony One. I know it does pretty much the same thing, but it still seems like a HUGE upgrade.





That's pretty much it. I know it's not much compared to what some of you guys have set up at home, but my wife and I enjoy it a lot.

P.S. I have a few different/additional pics in my HT gallery. I didn't see the point of putting all of them in both places.

Love your TV great choice.

[Steve]

Thanks. I've looked at your gallery before, and you have an awesome collection of collectible figurines.

[P@t_Mtl]

Thanks, like I said in there to one of the guys, that's about 1/4 of what I actualy got on thos Star Wars figures, I got no room right now to make a proper display

[Steve]

Well I hope you'll post pics of your entire collection when you're able to display them all.

[Santeria]

wow i like the whole setup and how well everything goes together!

[Steve]

Thanks Santeria.

You have a nice setup yourself.

[swingle007]

very nice.....some great choices in a clean setup.

[Steve]

Thanks swingle. You've got a great looking setup yourself. How do you guys get such great screen shots? I've got a pretty good camera, but mine all turned out terrible. I'm glad my TV's picture doesn't look like it does in the photos I posted.

Thank you!! I didn't have a clue what that thing was called. I just know I think it looks good in my living room.

[Steve]

Ok I've made a new update to my system. This is a reconditioned console my sister gave me for Christmas of last year. I never put it in my system as a permanent addition until now, because my old center speaker used to occupy this spot. I added the pics into my opening post, but here they are again anyway. I think you classic game guys will appreciate it.

An unrelated issue, but I swapped my Xbox 360 and satellite box to improve the remote reception of the satellite box.

[nezff]

hey fireman, how does that sub sound in that back corner. You kinda gave me some ideas.

[Steve]

nez I think it sounds great. However I feel I should point out that's the only place in the room where I could put it, so I'm not able to move it around for comparison.

[nezff]

so you like it? I might move mine around not sure.

[Steve]

I definitely like it. I've read in several places that corner placement can help bass output. It can rattle just about everything in my living room and sometimes (like when Ironman walks out of the cave) I even hear stuff in the kitchen cabinets.

[Blu-Griffin]

Looks good! Nice and tidy

[SDBlu]

Cool Set-up man...and I like your Old School Nintendo, talk about vintage That was my second gaming console I ever had.

My first one was none-other than the 2600 Atari

[thebat2]

Love the setup. Very clean, nice and tight. I love what you did with the T.V. stand. Sweet!!!

[Steve]

Thanks guys. And fugazied, this is the original NES. The Super NES was the next system that came out after this one.
