Post subject:  Home Theatres

Do you have a home theatre? If so what does it look like with pictures or descriptions.

Or post pictures of the nicest home theatres you have ever seen?

Do we really need one of these "bragging" threads?

I mean, obviously, the wealthy are going to flaunt what they've got, and everyone else will be satisfied with what they've got (mostly).

Unless you're looking for a particular home theater system, is this really needed? lol.

I love my TV.

Its not really a home theater, but I love it all the same.

It is a 27 inch Flat screen Sharp TV. My baby.

And I like people flaunting, it helps me look for things I want to get :)

Okay there mr. I think of everyone in the world because I want to be politically correct. Chump!

I don't got a home theater system but I got a 47" tv in the family room. We got it 3 years ago. And I just got a 20" tv for my room.

60" HD flat screen TV and two 20" secondary feed monitors (I keep one tuned to a newschannel almost all the time and its great for watching multiple bowl games during the holidays). 4-channel 10-speaker (hidden in the walls) system tied into a 400-watt A/V switcher, with DVD-R, VCR, Sirrius Satellite Radio, and DirecTV Satellite TV with two receivers. It's all in a basement theatre room with two overstuffed leather rocking recliners with two leather sofas behind them on a riser for unobstructed views. Popcorn machine in the back with a wet bar and fountain dispensed drinks. It cost me about $30,000 to build the whole thing.











:wink:

I wish.
Actually I have a 6-year-old 27" Sharp stereo TV and a DVD/VCR combo.

Your "400watt a/v switcher" gave it away...I was reading with interest and this was the red flag. I'm thinking he never mentioned a receiver or seperate amp/pre-amp processor. Not to mention that anyone who has spent 30grand would most likely mention specific brands.... :wink:

Sure we need this. It gives us a little info on each other and how we view our movies at home.

My current main system consists of:
- 57" Widescreen HDTV
- 6.1 DTS Surround Sound System
- Xbox, PS2, GameCube
- DVD-R Recorder
- 5 Disc DVD Changer
- Dish Network DVR

I have more pictures somewhere, but here's an older one of my 100+ Xbox games that shows a little of my TV in the background, and one of my 3 gaming consoles... I'll get some better pics around soon.

(And, no my Xbox games aren't always stacked like that, I did it for the picture. And I have about 20 more then I did when I took it).

I've been a hardcore gamer (ie, geek) since 1978. I own just about every gaming system known to mankind. But, to answer your question, yes I play every game I get. I complete roughly 70% of them. The other 30% end up sucking and I never finish them (usually all my EA games). There are also a small handfull of games that are my wife's that I rarely touch.

I also have several PS2 and GameCube games, but not near as many as my Xbox games. There is nothing quite like an Xbox on a top of the line home theater set up. :afro:

I have a laptop with an onboard TV tuner and DVD player/burner with a 17" screen. I subscribe to the "Swiss Army Knife" school of home entertainment. The comp is configured for home theatre speakers or a plasma monitor in case I ever need to upgrade.

I have a 21 inch Toshiba TV/DVD combo (6 years old, or even more...) but I rarely watch DVDs on it... I prefer my computer... So I'm really expecting to get a nice flat HD LCD monitor this year... Something like Dell here, 20.1 inches screen (Just waiting for the price to drop down to $500-$550 during one of their sales events):

More pics of my home entertainment crap...

My DVD collection (roughly 1500 DVDs, give or take - I'm too lazy to count them). They're on 3 shelves and in desperate need of reorginaztion and more shelving. I have a few loaned out to family members, and the poor Matrix Ultimate edition sets all alone by itself....

Image
Image
Image
Image

My TV - a Hitachi 57" widescreen HDTV:

Image
Image
Image

My receiver - a Kenwood VR 6060, 6.1 (6 x100 W) Dolby Digital EX, DTS system: (not all DVDs use the 6th speaker, a rear center channel...)
Image

My Dish Network DVR (like Tivo), a Pioneer DVD-R recorder, and a Sony 5 disc DVD changer:
Image

There you go...my entire system minus the dog - who was too offended by the insults to appear (he's such a diva!). And, Snrub...you don't want to know where you have to plug in the controller to my 4th video game console!

Wow Tony,

You should really consider opening a DVD/game rental store... \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ And you could invest the rental income into buying something like 72-inch plasma... \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

I just happen to be flipping through the channels and stopped on Shop at Home network...They're running a good deal on an InFocus DLP projector HD and Draper 9' screen for only $1399.95. It is a good deal. I've got all I can do not to pull the old Visa out!
