Hey guys, inspired by most of you and your set-up pics, I have decided to post mine here as well. I'm a huge audio enthusiest with a VERY small budget. I have , what I believe to be, a very decent quality low end system. This system took me about 2 years to piece together and It's been complete for about 2. The TV was my last purchase and quite an ironic story (ill post at the bottom).My living room is a bit small and because of window placement I had to mount my speakers much higher than where they are supposed to be. I am only renting this place so Modfing the room is out of the question. I have angled the speakers downword, that helped dramtically with the sound. All-in-all, I am very pleased with it. Those are old SMS Games in that shelf on the right and my xbox and misc old games on the left. had no room for movies.. those racks stay in a seprate room.
For the the system...The recever is strictly audio. All my devices are hoked to TV via HDMI. The Blu-Ray player is running seperate analog inputs in the receiver so I can get lossless audio. A receiver upgrade is in the future though. The sub at the end of the smaller couch use to be next to the tv but when I went bigger the sub would not fit and I had to move it to where it sits now. on top of sub s an enrgizer charging cradle for my 360 controllers.
My roomate has a PS3, we were both off one saturday and decided we wanted to watch Godfather on Blu-Ray. had a 52" JVC DILA hooked to all the audio equipment you see here. He brought his PS3 out of his room and I preceeded to hook it up. When I plugged the HDMI cable into the PS3 it sparked and caught on fire. The spark back-fed into my TV and I could nolonger get any picture on any input. The ps3 quit functioning at all. He had a warranty with Best Buy and took it there..they gave him a brand new ps3, nice. was shopping for a new TV now and didn't want to go smaller..No retailer around me carries anything bigger than a 50" lcd..I could've settled on that but matter of personal preferance..I dont lke lcd. Best Buy had some nice 60" sets on their website so I thought Id take a drive.. When I got there I didn't see any. I looked over all the tvs and had a salesman ask if he could help me.. So, i explained what I wanted and he appologized for not having anything on the floor but they did have a 60" dlp in back stll in the box. He explaned it was from the magnolia line of TVs and was ordered special for a customer who canceld the order after the tv arrived. They werent allowed to send it back and had to sell it but had no place on the floor. I asked how much for it and he did not know. He left to find out while I stood there and waited. I waited a good 20 minutes and the store manager walked by and asked if I had been helped? I explained to him what was going on and that he went in back to get a price..as i did this he shows up and proceeds to tell me that it was a 65" not a 60 and he could not locate a price.. the manager looked at him and asked him to look it up online. while he was doing this the manager told me that he had to get rid of it and what ever price he pulls up "we can work on" he said that the tv had been there for about 2 months now and needs to go. its still in box and never been opened. The salesman gives me a price and i told him I take the tv at a much lower price. to my suprise..the manager said ok, looked at the saleman and said make it happen and get him anything else he needs. I shook his hand and bought a tv much bigger than i was expecting at a price much lower than i expected. So the pics you see below are of this magnficant TV, which I love btw.
