As the title says, lets see those HT's badass and modest alike

I'll start things off with my general BR watching + PS3 gaming setup.

120GB Slim PS3 and LiteOn DVD+VHS on a 42" Panasonic Veira (Plasma, 720p) paired with a Denon receiver putting out to 2 large Realistic and 2 small Bose speakers. I don't know anything about the models of the speakers, I just found them in the attic a while back and decided to hook em up

Yep. That TV has served me very well for the past 4 years. Never had a single problem except getting some burn in from when an image sits in the same place too long (like the minimap circle in GTA IV), although the burn would always go away after a little use. Also, nice retro systems you've got there :toast:

LG 37" 1080p TV
Sony Receiver
RCA - Surround speakers w 10" sub
PS3 - DVD/Blu-Ray/Gaming
Cable Box

Soylent Joe · Jun 16, 2010

Moved my little setup down to my room to escape the heat of where it was at. I also get 100% signal strength now (vs. 5-25% before), which makes vidya streaming and online play a ton smoother.

This is just a quick shot, I may get some better ones tomorrow with the blinds open and stuff.

majestic12 · Jun 18, 2010

I couldn' take any of this stuff over to Japan with me -I sold off some of it and the rest is sitting in strorage right now.

Why you left for japan ? Anyway you are in the electronic county so.

DanishDevil · Jun 18, 2010

I'll have to take some pics of the setup at my girl's place.

Quick teaser:

Sharp Aquos 32" 1080P
Verizon FiOS DVR
Logitech Z-5500 Digitals
Samsung Blu-Ray Player
Sony VCR

majestic12 · Jun 18, 2010

Yeah... but my apartment here isn't as noise friendly as my old house. I'm taking some grad classes here and teaching English, and made the compromise of having no home theater, no projector, no surround sound, etc. but made up for it with a really nice new set of headphones and a flat panel tv.

MohawkAngel · Jun 18, 2010

I've watched Avatar in 1080P on my lg screen with this sound system and i even hear the whistling of computers in the movie and little noise that the screens are making when the text are rolling down in the lab. Many new sound system would not even be able to do that. I'm proud and happy to found it. Extremely rare set of speakers and guys selling it 150$ on the net even if it 32 years old.

Those Duals can hit down to 25hz?! That's pretty impressive -they look like some pretty nice speakers. I'd love to hear how they sound.

Yup since the tweeter , woofer and subwoofer are separated....Heres the link to the page but its in german so youll have to translate it

I have just bought these Speakers 3 weeks ago, got a fantastic deal from a local shop going out of business, basically got them all for half price, that’s a £700 saving, the downside was I had limited choice but this is what I got…….
