Looks Clean

MacDaddyOJack · 02-04-2009, 03:15 PM

Move those games away from the right hand side of your PS3, there is a vent there!

P@t_Mtl · 02-04-2009, 03:17 PM

Nice, very clean setup, I wish I was able to afford that at 23, lucky you.

Steve · 02-04-2009, 03:22 PM

You've got a nice clean setup. Very nice looking and WAAAYYYY better than anything I had at your age. I agree with MadDaddy about moving those games though. Your PS3 vents out through the right side, so that needs to be open.

The only thing I would suggest is to eventually replace your HTiB with a real AV receiver and speaker/subwoofer setup.

Also, if you post some pics in your HT Gallery (to the left, under your avatar) people will be able to go in and leave comments and post a rating if you want them to.

Agreed! Move the movies and PS3 games to a dedicated rack or something. Also move the controllers and head phones somewhere other than right next to the TV. I also would be a little leery on burning candles that close to the TV!

You would think it would leave a some kind of residue on the screen as well. I know candles are not my walls/ceilings friends! Constantly leaving a film on the walls.. Anyway, yeah other than that not bad at 23. Pretty much like what I had at that age. Even though I am still only 29 and live alone...

mustang-gt-2002 · 02-04-2009, 03:40 PM

nice setup. nice DLP but I'm not a big fan of DLP's sorry. the speakers are a little small for me I'm old school
BIGGER is better. but if they sound good that's all that matters. like the stand I'm looking at getting a new one.
see what you think of my HT gallery. you can be honest to

Hey, besides me having to be in your home. I have no idea you don't light them, sorry! I can only assume, since they were next to the TV.

pittsgutta · 02-04-2009, 04:12 PM

Yeah,good lookin out tho.....

JJ · 02-04-2009, 04:14 PM

Always glad to see someone my same age into the hobby!

Haha! The HT-TX72! I used to have the HT-TX75. Try upgrading the speaker cable to some 14 or 16-AWG wire for some great improvement in the sound quality, especially the subwoofer. Space out the front L/Rs a bit, and toe them a weensy bit into the main listening post. Clear out the space next to the PS3! Like Mac said, there's vents there!

Gorgeous television, and great collection - move the subwoofer forward from the wall a few inches, if I remember correctly, it's rear ported - having it right up to the wall will break it - that vent needs to breathe, having it right up to the wall will rattle the poor driver right out of its enclosure (I did this by mistake back when I had mine a year ago)...

...Good center placement...good stuff, chap. The Harmony One is a great remote, I own one as well, very handy, very handy...

Sussudio · 02-04-2009, 04:19 PM

Very clean setup man! Patrick Bateman would be proud

(watch American Psycho and pay attention to his apartment if you don't get the reference

Doesn't look like it would fit in there, height-wise, if you compare it to the rest of the stuff in there...

23-year olds, unite! We should make a "Born in 86" gang.
