Hi guys,
I finally upgraded my home theater system after 13 long years!
I initially had a Denon Receiver, Mitsubishi 55 inch Rear Pro TV, Toshiba DVD player (later replaced by Sony VCR/DVD Recorder RDR-VXD655), 5 Paradigm floor standing speakers + sub, Sony CD player, Sony Tape Deck and a bunch of other things I forgot now..
All have been donated to various charities except for the Mitsubishi TV which we will still use.. (moved to guest bedroom where the kids will make use of it).
In order for me to get the upgrade done and get my wife's blessing (WAF), I had to compromise a bit..
No floor standing speakers for the new 7 speakers so I had to go with in ceiling speakers. I am still using Paradigm but this time 7 in ceiling speakers + 2 subs. The 2 subs are floor standing but they are small and will be in the corners.
Furthermore, no TV in the living room so we are going to put the new 75 inch Samsung TV in the game room.
(The living room is now a conversation place where the TV will not distract -- or something to that affect)
The game room is a big rectangle 29' x 14'
Currently the room is being used as a "game room".. I have a pool table and a poker table.
To make it mix use so to speak to accommodate the "home theater" aspect, I will use the poker table chairs for seating.
I know not ideal but compromise was needed.
On one end (far left) will be the audio rack and the other side (far right) will be the tv hanging on the wall.
My audio rack is Bello AR-880 which was purchased 13 years ago when I did my first home theater.
The first picture attached is the rack.
Remotes, etc. on the top shelf.
PS4 on the second shelf
Oppo Blu Ray Player on third shelf
NAD T-777 Home Theater Receiver on fourth shelf
Panamax Surge Protection for all the equipment on fifth shelf.
The second picture attached is the side view of the tv.(Samsung UN75F8000 LED TV)
The third picture attached is the back view of the game room / home theater room
The fourth picture attached is the view of the sitting area. I have to use the poker table chairs.
Finally, the view of the tv (front) when sitting on the chair.
I have Paradigm 7.2 speakers. (2 subs and 7 in ceiling speakers).
