Sorry you had to go thru some of that.People dont realize some of us cant buy an entire system all at one time.

And what purchases we do save up and make we are proud of, so we dont mind letting others see the beginning steps of an upcoming system.
I hope you do share your future additions with us, as I(personally)look forward to seeing them.

Thanks for,at least,having a good attitude overall about everything.

You do know you can make it so people can't vote.

He did do that and that's what started this whole mess! Not a very nice welcome for someone who lives across the "pond" (UK) from us!

I am not sure why some people feel the need to bash. An HT is something very personal, and I have respect for that.

Solarddad is right that there will always be negative. He makes some solid points...could've put it more gently but the reality of it is this is a forum. Everyone here is subjective to positive/negative comments whether you ask for it or not. I think everyone needs to relax as this has gotten way to personal over nothing worth fighting over. BLURAYSONYES.....attacking other people's setup is a good way to lose credibility if your trying to prove a valid point.

Sam...it looks great so far. Just remember...while you request things...you may not get what you want on a forum. Do you have more pics of the surroundings? Speakerwise...can you remove those bookshelves to put speakers in its place? I would get rid of the bookshelves and put some decent sized speakers there if possible. Otherwise from what I can tell your going to be very limited on options with speakers. Put up some more pics of the general room to see what your working with if you would.

People are so sensitive over nothing...relax people...there is more to life than these petty feuds.

+1 Well said Sean

I gotta cut him some slack too This is a hobby that you enjoy or you wouldn't be here, so stick around. Before you know it you will have upgraded many things numerous times. Comes with the hobby and there is no fighting it. Take advantage of all the good info on the site !!! It will help you make wise choices with gear, and you'll learn many great things as well !!!


Anyhow, it's a solid start !!! I'll admit I have a soft spot for all setups, basic to grand I don't know anyone's personal situations so everyone gets a 10 in my book !!!


Enjoy !!!

Ain't that the truth!

[samdaman94]

Thanks for the support everyone. I will post pics when it's finished.

I could tell you one thing....his setup would look nicer than yours once its all done. Talk about being truthful.

If you took the time to read my original post, i refered to my pictures of my setup as being "crappy" but, i never said anyone couldn't agree and i never told anyone how to rate it. i haven't updated my gallery in a while so i am well aware of my wire management problem, again, you notice i'm not asking you not to rate it based on those things.

check yourself.

samdaman94, don't take your gallery down, from my first post, i told you i liked your setup and that is what i said about your setup. keep it up and when you make changes that you think are necessary, if you want to then put those up and let folks know you have updated your gallery and we'll tell you what we think; just don't make it conditional.

i'll say it one more time, i like your setup just the way it is. sorry for anyone who didn't read any of my posts properly or got the wrong idea about what i meant. i never bashed the man about his gallery, just let him know i i felt about the conditions he put on us rating it.

[^Lestat^]

I would say just keep the gallery up and disable the ratings. I do understand the OP's wish of not just getting bashed but with the internet as it is you would meet all kinds of people here and you cant really control the way others would post. Reading into solardad's post it does come a bit harsh but seeing his his posts after he meant well. Lets all not get grief over the internet and take things lightly. Remember we all love this hobby and sometimes wish to talk to others who share the same passion and most of the times get advise from people who has more knowledge than us.

Anyway sadaman94 pretty nice start and i assure you there's tons of knowledge and reading in this site. Just enjoy what you have and when budget permits wish you would also share with us what you have achieved.

Thank you, I think you understand me and i agree with everything you have said too!

From what I know of solarrdadd, he's not the type of person to intentionally provoke for the sake of provoking. His post about rating was a valid one, in my opinion.

To samdaman94: Put your pics back up, turn OFF the ratings if you wish or prefer, and let's start talking about why you like this hobby. Talk about your plans for where you want to go with your setup, ask us any question you want. Also, share with us your knowledge. Just because we've been here longer doesn't mean we still don't learn.

And for the record. Great to have you here on Blu-ray.com Sam!
