I can't say I can compete with such an equipment set! First I need a place to live (left my apt in Singapore in February, still looking for a job/place). Then I need to get all my stuff stored in Singapore delivered/unpacked somewhere else. But while I was enjoying Singapore's life, this is how my rack was organized: Sony MSC-4000 Pioneer LG-1 (LD+G) / Toshiba HD-A35 (HD DVD) Pioneer LD-S9 / Denon A11-N (DVD/DVD-A/SACD) Pioneer HLD-X9 / Pioneer VSA-D8EX (AC3RF built-in) Julien |

Julien, Very cool. Must be a real headache to transport all that stuff every time you have to move. Not to mention your LD collection which I'm sure is substantial. I hope some other people post their setups as well, love to see what people are watching their LD's on. |

It never seems to end does it? But as for getting "one more item". I have to warn you, I have my power conditioner and big Conrad Johnson Amp on the floor on stands... so I guess you better go ahead and by a couple of Laserdisc players,... just to be safe! |

Room 15 feet long 10 feet 2 inches wide 8 feet 8 inches high Chimney breast to left of room is sound challenge as I have to work off the chimney breast and make the remaining last front of the room appear to be one large wall.

This is from an maybe the past few months ago its fairly up-todate The Yamaha RX-V650 (7.1 input RCA only) seems to work well with the Sony BDP-S550 for dts hd master audio and WONDERFUL for DOLBY TrueHD the true cinema format of the past 40 years. Some other views of the cinema rocker seats and they do make it feel like cinema. From an existing cineam for a cheap price per seat! Checking EQ levels balance with RTA and Firefox one bast of 6track DOLBY STEREO film This is only for short while the timber will not be used thou some parts of it might, "waste not want not" |

People tend to put the volume higher when the screen size goes up, without realizing they are listening at a higher volume at all. It just "feels more natural". Unless you are listening to all these speaker on "Midnight mode" (which I doubt), probably a wider video span is required I'll get myself some theater chairs someday ... If I ever get to live in the same place more than 2 years. Julien |
