Systems Showcase

The Goomba's Hideout

by TonyPTX

Here is my valent attempt to sqeeze a 5.1 Home Theater system into a 13'x11' bedroom. System is a mix of gear I've collected over the years. Most recent additions are the Polk speakers and the Rotel receiver & CD player.

Overall perspective of the front sound stage w/the gear.	The Equipment Rack (from top to bottom): CD Player, 6-Disc CD Player, Receiver, Game Console, DVD Player, VCR, Cable Modem. The rack is custom built by me based off of the DIY FleXy Rack design off of the net. For more details, check out my website @ http://members.cox.net/~tonyptx/homeaudio/flexyrack/	Top Shelf: Rotel RCD-1070 CD Player Sweet new unit I picked up from Audiogon. Second Shelf: Onkyo C220 6-Disc Carrousel CD Player She's goin' on 9 years old. She ain't bad and she's given me plenty of pleasure, but there is a new dog in the house and she's gonna retire pretty soon.
My pride and joy, the Rotel RSX-1055. It's big, it's bad..... it's beefy.... it only has 75W/channel? Bwahahha, I seriously doubt that. It runs cooler than my old Onkyo SR600 that was "supposed" to have 80W/channel.	Bottom Shelf: Close-Up of some of my gear. Currently the XBOX serves as my DVD player and the Toshiba does dual duty DVD-A and DVD-Player. As for the VCR, can't remember the last time I used it, but hey, it has auto time correction from the cable company and is the most accurate clock in the house.	Newest member of the family, the Panamax MAX 5100 for clean video signals and power protection.
Right Sound Stage: Some fine Polk RTi70's for mains and a PSW-404 subwoofer.	Left Rear Surround: Hidden in the back are a pair of RT35i's for the rear surround. They're pointing at each other and are mounted on 36" Sanus stands.	Right Rear Surround: Hidden in the back are a pair of RT35i's for the rear surround.

DIY Interconnects & Speaker Wire: The start of something wonderful. OK, nothing fancy here, just put an external sleeve on some Monster Bi-Wires to clean things up.	It's all about the cable management....you either have it or you don't.
