How about sharing your system images here?

there's already a few listed on the Audio Central forum:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=58966.100 but we it might prove helpful to have a dedicated forum.

Just thought I'd start the ball rolling.  8)  This is my HT setup in my den.  I use the Von Schweikert VSX speakers.  Apologies for the dark pictures. 





Very simple setup using a 42" LCD TV - HK Receiver - Philips DVD player - Wii - REL sub - JBL in-ceiling  speakers (rears)

Jrs undergoing burn in in my HT



These Jr Mk1s were purchased as were the Mk2s that took their place so I'm waiting for the release of the 4 Anniversary.

I just found this forum recently and thought I would add a couple of pics of my system. The room definitely presents a challenge because of it's shape.

Jack, I swear you have more systems than I have socks.  Are these new and a permanent part of your HT system or will they eventually head back to the store?  I feel like a piker.

Bracer, what we see of your house looks amazing and I must say I am impressed with your ability to place your VSA speakers, as beautiful as they are, right smack dab in an area that wive's normally fuss over the the nth degree.  They look stunning to me but then I'm an audio wacko.

Well done kgturner and keith.  Both beautiful setups and ones that no doubt sound as good as they look.  Bravo.

Here's a link to my much more modest system in my much more modest home (damn, es357, you must have been some EE - did you invent the transistor or something  :lol:) - Taken from the October meeting of the New York Audio Rave.

Welcome Bracer -- I just want to ask how you run the speaker cable to left channel, did you go under the floor? I always smile when I see ads in mags, they show wonderful set ups without any cable being visible...my set up is a mess of wire no matter what I do but you seem to have discovered a good solution.

Scott:

What's that thing in front of your Dartzeel amp? It looks like some sort of make shift barrier that I presume you use to tame the orange glow from the 'zeels lights.

Kevin,

I call it Dartzeel sunglasses. I made it out of plastic and spray painted it until I could just barely see the lights in case they blink if there is a problem.

I am thinking about knocking out the wall and extending my system into the kitchen. My wife doesn't cook much anyway :wink:
