    I just picked up some new gear for my home theater. I was posting some photo's on another forum I frequent. Figured I'd start the Official Home Theaters of S2. Doesn't have to be anything special. Show us what you watch your sports on!

    My gear:
    TV - Sony KDS-R60XBR1 SXRD
    Speakers - Fronts Definitive Technology Mythos 2, Center Mythos 3, Surrounds 4 BP Inwalls,
    Subwoofer Velodyn SPLII.
    Amp/Processing - Emotiva LPA-1 7 channel amp, Emotiva LCM-1 Processor
    Sources - Directv HDDVR, Comcast HDDVR, Xbox 360, PS3/BluRay, Toshiba HDDVD, JVC DVD

    These are some photos from a while back but not much has changed.

    Xbox 360:

    Nice window. Does the backplane of the TV light up with colors associated with the programming?

    52" Panasonic HD. Boston Acoustic towers and surround and presence separates. (Older Yamaha YPAO receiver, so I can't go 7.1 or HDMI from the receiver, yet). PS3 for Blue Ray DVD w/HDMI to the TV.

    My wife gave away our old stand and wants something much like yours.

    Nice set-up. You should get a blackout shade for that window, though.

    Nice system. Seems like putting the TV in front of a window might cause problems with sunlight outshining the TV's light and making it harder to see the picture.

    Thanks. The TV plane does not light up. That's the Philips tv's I believe. As for the windows, my wife has put up a fight about covering them. However because the screen is not reflective and can get very bright, it hasn't been an issue. Though we've been considering adding a Projector to the room and she's already agreed that those windows will need to be covered. The stand is the BDI Avion 8529. My wife picked it and we both love it.

    Nice setup! But where's the pictures! I also have a Harmonly 880 which I love. Nothing like hitting one button to turn on the tv, receiver, BluRay, cut the lights (I installed an ir light sensor). The Harmony's are great. I love those Kplisch speakers. Almost bought a set myself.
    Again, pictures people!!!!

    Did you wall mount the Panny plasma? That thing must be huge.

    You put "free" in quotation marks. That generally means that the cost was giving another guy oral sex. Though, it's only a cost if you didn't enjoy it.

    You don't know that. It could have been giving two or more guys oral sex.

    That's a really nice set-up, hypno.

    I love how the colours compliment each other.
