Thanks, and I will continue to do so. Considered...? Yes. Seriously considered...? Not yet. And the primary reason is cost. I am keeping my peepers open. I also have my eyes on a loveseat/recliner that's around $600. It's nice too; no drink caddy. Man, the things that are selling points on these things...

A huge part of this all is cost (of course!). Not sure if I said it earlier, but I'm doing several rooms at once: Living Room, Kitchen/Dining Area and Boys' Room. I already dropped a HUGE chunk of change this month on their room. I don't even want to run totals. If it was the only room I was concerned with, I'd be pushing for the best, but unfortunately I can't.

What we're ultimately looking at is having the 3 areas (Living Room, Dining Area, Kitchen) sort of blend in together in a Theater/Retro 50's diner fashion. Hard to explain, but the ideas both my wife and I have, have us both excited. And it's a rarity for us both to be excited about decorating at the same time.

There is definitely a huge balancing act going on, though. I'm going to have to go lighter in some areas to have the cash to do others, and so on. We'll see how it goes.

LOL! No -- figured the picture of 'The Wizard of Oz' poster would clarify that. I did update my post, though.

New pictures coming soon -- just more posters I've added, though.

Next month the real fun begins.

Update #3

Just some minor additions this afternoon:



Added my wife's 'Grease' poster. I'm going to add 3 more posters going down the stairs to the foyer in a "step-down" pattern. The poster makes a nice little segway into the kitchen/dining area where we're going to put the retro items we get. You can see our ancient wooden table in the bottom right corner -- that's going away and being replaced with a red-topped "soda shoppe style" style and benches.



Nothing much here. Just moved my HT signs closer to one another.



Self-explanatory. The new seats I get will go where the red lounger is now.

More later this week, I hope.

Couple of new pics coming later today (just of posters), but I just ordered my speakers as well from newegg.

Those should be here early next week. So next week my pics will include shots of my new CS2, and two new Monitor 60s from Polk.

You dog, you got one of those CS2's! What a great price, I can't believe they are back and for only that much! I like my CS10, and you paid less than I did. Anyway, I see you got the 60's, did you miss out on the T90's? Same speaker anyway, just a different look. I think you are really going to like your new front soundstage.....

Technically, I did miss out on the T90s. I got paid on Wednesday, and they were out of stock by then.

Good thing, though, is the 60s were only $150/each. The T90Es run $230. Saved 80 bucks a speaker.

Got the whole thing for $430 shipped (before taxes).

Maybe I should put that in the 'Hot Deals' forum -- how much do the 60s usually run?

Nice....when I got my T90's, they were for the same price, $149....but I would give that up and my CS10, if I could pay for 60's and CS2 like you did.....
