Anali...

I need to chime in and agree - very well thought out and executed! I'm still in the dreaming stages - the real room I want will have to wait until we build our house next year. The plan is ever changing so who knows what will happen then. I owe a semi-decent picture to the group of my current set-up - I have the same out of space woe that you do!

Anali,
Great stuff, would love to see the equipment. The color issue is probably just your white balance. You could probably correct it in Photoshop or other software.

Well, now that I have some pics, I might as well post in one of these threads. This still isn't finished, so there are some ugly things going on.

Old TV is still sitting in the middle of the floor. Probably going to fix that this weekend. View from the chair:


Better shot of my sub and speakers, and I've now hidden that IR sensor in the top of the screen, it was too distracting:


PJ:



Some DVDs, I really need to work out a decent storage system now that I've topped 200 movies/seasons. Not to mention clean the damn place!


This rack is MUCH less dusty now. Plus the overexposure to see the black components makes it look worse than it really was. I still need to retake this pic on a tripod or something, it's all blurred:


This is what I mean by unfinished, although it is also better now. About half of this is now properly wired, hopefully I'll finish the rest very soon:


I wish I had a dedicated room, but I treat this end of the basement like it is one. No swordplay or dodgeball, that kind of thing. I hope to change into some HT/DVD decorations, as well. I have nada at this point.

Big Worms

Spiky, I am pretty sure that is an SVS sub. What model is it?

hogfat

I imagine you have some sort of autofocus on your camera; just make sure it doesn't focus on that cloth in the lower right next time.

Spiky

SVS PB2, nka PB12 Plus/2. I used to have a 2039PC+, but it was too tall to fit under the screen, and it has to be up front. Sold it and bought a used sub. Ended up with an upgrade even though I didn't need it. It is one big, big sub. I've barely even pushed this one, it is ridiculously capable.

Hogfat,
The AF didn't work properly for that shot, and I haven't bothered to retake it. Now that I finally got myself the correct flash, AF in the dark will work better with an assist light. Actually, I may have MFed that shot, can't remember. MF in the dark doesn't work well, either. I'd have to take the black cabinet with black components out into the sun to get easy AF without an assist, there just isn't enough light in my basement to pull it off. There's a reason marketing shots are done in a white studio. Esp for black things.

I must say, I expected someone to rip me a new one for the Kenny Rogers LP!!

Spiky, SVS= !!! That's my next major purchase.

Simply amazing Anali, I absolutely love the library look and feel to your home theatre. My two favorite things are libraries/books and movies - in that room, I'd never want to leave....that with a nice bowl of popcorn and a Coke Zero - my family would know to not bother me

The Infidel

Spiky...Is that the Denon 2900 player? If so, I have the same one.

Angel:

You have a sweet equipment set-up, but I think the overall decor clashes with what the room is supposed to be used for.

pdinosaur

i thought we all knew it was stricly verboten to discuss the copying of another's DVD collection.

god i love using new smileys.

Spiky

Yep, Denon 2900. Best all around player ever made. Under $3000. So happy....

My projector is going in AGAIN. I've had it less than 1/2 a year and this is the second trip back to Toshiba for it, just died Sunday night. I will be pushing for a replacement instead. Not happy about this. I plugged my 27" back in, it's sitting on the floor. So I can watch the US Open.

buckee,
When you do, send Ron & Tom a diagram of your room. They'll recommend the right sub. They never oversell, they don't have to!!

Here's my stuff. I need to buy another shelf because all the CDs and DVDs don't fit on the current one I have. And I also have a bunch of PS/PS2 games that could go on them.

Top and first shelf:


Second shelf, TV sets, VHS, and CDs:

Big Worms

That is what I thought it was. Nice! One day hope to upgrade to that monster.

Next question, what speakers are you running? I know they are Klipsch, but are they the reference 7 series?

gotrice487

jonjj7: I like how neatly aligned everything is on your shelving!

The Infidel

Actually, I would hope that you paid under ONE thousand, since that's what it listed for. Mine was right at list price.

Spiky

Infidel,
I meant because the Denon 5910 has finally surpassed it and is MSRP $3500. I paid $900 the first month it was available. There are some esoteric ones that aren't bad, too. But who has 10 or 80 grand laying around for a DVDp?

Big Worms,
Ref 3 series, all around. 7 series would be really big. And out of budget. Took me 4 years to get this setup as it is.

QuikSilver

jonjj7, where did you get your shelves and how many dvds does it hold? Thanks.

jonjj7

I got it at Target. I think it can hold 200 DVDs if I were to reorganize the shelves. I went back recently because I wanted to get another, but it doesn't look like they carry them anymore. They were pretty cheap, too....

[QUOTE=metalhead212]Here is what I have right now. This is the melding of both mine and my girlfriends movies and videogame systems.

One Xbox is modded to take the place of my broken DVD player, the one on the bottom is basically a table for it. Gamecube, PS2, had a surround system but it didn't work right with the DVD player (when it worked) so we took it back.

The area that everything is in was custom cut to house a complete entertainment system, but the actuall unit was cut wrong by almost an inch so we are still waiting on it. When it is finished it will hold the TV the systems, 600 dvd's, a total surround sound system, and a working DVD player. The Hanzo swords will go on top .





I have that same exact TV. How do you like it?

SINGLE104

Not only you have an impressive HT, but a beautiful home as well.

SINGLE104

Angel, If there were a contest for the best HT, you would win hands down.

This is Kevin Smith's DVD collection (he posted it on his board).

Its all alphabetized. This is everything except T-Z according to him:

John_Shil

@Angel: In your collection pictures, there is one that has a shelf (and a fifth) dedicated to 24, Alias, Angel, Buffy, [?], Millennium, nip/tuck, NYPD Blue, Smallville and The X-Files. Are these all out-of-region, or are they customs? If they're customs, is there any way I could get the 24, Angel, Buffy, and X-Files covers? Thank you, in advance.

Amazing collections, so far, everyone. My collection doesn't even deserve a picture.

Angel Pagan

I've gotta admit, I don't even notice it anymore. It wasn't until I took the pictures that I noticed exactly how pink the room was. But, in the end, it'll motivate me to move faster towards getting a dedicated HT room.

I would doubt that but thank you for the kind words.

These are custom covers for the R1 sets that I've acquired from various cover sites. Let me get your e-mail and I'll send them your way. The one between Buffy and Millennium is Dark Angel. I've recently added Dead Zone S1 and Monk S1.

Would like to mention that these covers that you speak of were created by Scaramanga and you can see them over at this thread.
