EndersShadow's setup
Thought I would post my setup. I have a running thread at AVSFORUM showing off my gear as I got it, so I am just going to copy and paste a bunch from that thread to make my life simpler lol..
This upcoming weekend my fiancée and I are moving from a 1 bedroom 1 bath 730 sq. ft. apartment into a 2 bedroom 1 ½ bath townhome apartment. The layout is much friendlier for my Home Theater aspirations, both for the Living/Family Room as well as the Master and Guest Bedroom. While not nearly as awe inspiring as many of your dedicated theater rooms, its not to shabby for what I can do. Below are the beginnings of what will be my awesome new setups. I figured I would chronicle the journey both for myself and also anyone else interested.
Living/Family Room:
As of right now I am going to stick with 5.1 downstairs as I do not have the necessary space to do 7.1 properly and honestly don’t care at this point
. We are going to paint the wall the TV is on a dark brown color and all the other walls in that room a light blue. I will be mounting the Surrounds about 24-32” above ear height when sitting down using AM40 wall brackets. The Center speaker will be mounted above the TV using a speaker shelf I purchased off Amazon.
Equipment List:
TV: Panasonic 59” DLP
Receiver/Pre-amp: Integra DTR 5.9
Amplifier: Carver AV-705x
Fronts: LSi 15's modded with a db840 sub (crossover upgrade next)
Center: Polk LSi C
Surrounds: Infinity Primus 162's (wall mounted)
Sub: Polk PSW125 (being replaced eventually and moved to the office)
Misc Gear: Limited Edition Halo 3 Xbox 360, Wii, Samsung BP-1600 blu ray player, Limited Edition Halo 2 Xbox, Uverse DVR, Pioneer laserdisc player
Master Bedroom:
Equipment List:
TV: 32” Samsung LCD
Misc Gear: Sony 5 disc DVD player, Uverse receiver
Guest Bedroom/Office:
The Guest Bedroom is going to be just a small 2.0 setup that will eventually become a 2.1 setup. This will be used mainly to listen to music while I work on the computer, and occasionally as a secondary Home Theater if my brother comes over with his Xbox and we want to connect them both up. As such I am not planning on spending too much more on this setup than I need.
Equipment List:
TV: 25” HP 2509 LCD Monitor
Receiver: Harman Kardon 3490
Fronts: Polk T90e
Center: N/A and none planned
Surrounds: N/A and none planned
Sub: N/A
Misc Gear:
Main Rig Computer:
Motherboard: ASUS P5E
Processor: Q9650 @ 3.7
Memory: 8 Gig Dominator 1066
Graphics Card: ATI 5450
Storage: 2 Western Digital Caviar Black 640 gig & Samsung Spinpoint 1 Terabyte
TV Tuner: Hauppauge 2250
Powersupply: Corsair 450VX
Case: Antec P182
