7.1 HT Build
by Tonysfester
I started to build the room Oct of '08. Nearly completed the room April '09. Wired up the place for 7.1 although currently it is a 10.2 setup scaled to 7.1 discrete. I will let the pictures do the talking. I still need to work on room acoustics, cover the subs and decorations etc.

Added some cool cable management behind my components
|
Also added some pictures to the well. Next is a power conditioner and mineral wool on the walls as absorber acoustic panels.
|
Dont know why the flat paint looks so bad but I added a broan fan behind my components since they were cookin. It is on a variable speed so I can adjust the volume. I might put it on X-10 so I can turn it on with my remote.
|
Here is everything cleaned up.
|
Panamax M5300-PM added to protect and condition my line. I like the live voltage and amp readings. I also added a Logitech PS3 controller to use all PS3 commands from my Harmony 1000.
I have a new HTPC case on the way with some added goodies for my Quad Core HT PC..
|
Here is the new TV. I built this cabinet space for a 65-67" TV. I now have the 65HM167.
|
Here is a panoramic shot I put together
|
Just got another CS350-LS. I am going to run both as Center Channels. Now to decide what amp to run them on...I ended getting two a Behringer A500s. One for my LS90s and for my center channels.
|
Aura Pro Bass Shakers for the couch with a Onkyo Amp. They are cool but dont even compare to my LFE.
|
Mocking up Polk Monitor 40s as side surrounds. Really these speakers are way to huge to run as side surrounds but I thought I would push the envelope.
|
Indiana looks over the right side of the TV.
|
Han Solo looks over the left side of the TV.
|
Current face of my HT
|
New Onkyo TX-NR818.
|
Added the ONkyo TX-NR818, moved stuff around and added a mini mac. Changed the HTPC case as well.
|
Finally starting with Acoustics. 4" foam up top. I will later build traps from Corning 703 or mineral wool for the back wall.
|
New Articulating mount to mount the 100lb beast. Paint and some clean up work to come later.
|
70" 3D Sharp mounted and finished.
|
New seating really pops. I love it.
