I am just curious as to what other member's home theaters are like. Here is what a government employee married to a school teacher can afford:
Karl,
What kind of TV is that (Philips???) How do you like it??

I remember that turntable. I used to sell a bunch of those when I worked in the audio dept of a local catalog showroom while going to school. That turntable and tonearm of mine was won in a sales contest at the same place. I had to buy the cartridge :(. It's base is a composite material of some kind that looks and feels like granite. It is heavy and dense enough that I can get a good listenable level out of the speakers even though, as can be seen in the other pix, the turntable is sitting ON the speakers. The tonearm (the Black Widow) is a straight model made of carbon fiber, it is made by Infinity (the loudspeaker people). It now spends most of it's time on my desk being used to make cd's of old albums.
Not wanting to show pictures of my stuff or anything in the house, I decided to use this as the perfect opportunity to create a list of stuff in my room (and home theater stuff in the house might come soon to my other website). It's REALLY long, so rather than posting it here, I'll post a direct link to it (so you don't have to navigate my website to find it): http://members.truepath.com/tiggerfan/myroom.html

Ah Monopoly. I've lost many a friendship playing that game. :D
LOL, as have I (well, just lost for a few days...)

Once, in college, a game evolved into what can only be termed "full contact monopoly".
Ok, maybe we had a few sips of wine.
We still laugh about it.

Back on topic please. :) Anyone else want to show off their theater? :D
i dunno-last time i showed off my theatre, i got slapped in the face....
What's the deal with huge Dolby Digital and DTS signs in your home? Trying to emulate the showroom look?

I forgot to take some pictures last night. I have a new camera and an excuse to use it. Whats wrong with me? I'll do it tonight. :D
Scott, I don't want to know what's the deal with the signs - I WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THE SIGNS!!! :)

Here's mine. You are looking at a Toshiba 57" 16X9. All of the equipment is in the cabinet on the left. Up on the wall above the TV is a Dolby Digital plaque I purchased on Dolby's web site.
BTW: I also have a home theater site: http://www.hermithome.com

I told my wife I need two TVs. :D
Here's mine:
It was designed to fit about a 108" (16x9) screen once I get the projector.

n0qcu,
I have the opposite problem as you. I have a CRT projector and 8ft. screen but no dedicated room to put it in. ...Someday :)

n0qcu I forgot to add your setup looks great. Are those Mach 1 speakers? If so you probably don`t need a sub as those have great bass.
Yes Dave they are mack 1's

I would be very happy to do you a favor and store it for you. I wouldn't charge too much and it wouldn't be in the way because I would find room to hang it from the ceiling somewhere. :lol:
