Seriously, I love the way you setup your surround 888's. I've wondered if I would ever upgrade to larger surrounds but I don't want to take up so much space, you've solved that problem.

I didn't know JTR made in-wall speakers!!

Yeah, I didn't know how to mount 75lbs surround speakers so I had the contractor build those boxes and lay them into the wall so they mounted flush. I do have good ideas once in a while
It is a must for you to balance the front stage out.....you NEED to get some balance with another JTR S2 in the left space. How can you sleep at night knowing you have a HUGE gap in the front.

This is what I love about AVS. When I show my friends my HT they think it is overkill...when I show it to AVS members they think I need more speakers....I fit in here better
This is my first projector so I am a little bit of a newbie in this area. I will say that color, motion, sharpness,etc... are all excellent and I am a pretty critical viewer. The only small complaint I would have are black levels but this is likely because my last TV was a 65 Panasonic VT series plasma and their black levels are approaching KURO levels. That is a small price to pay for an image that is 4 times larger with excellent clarity and color . I am also a gamer and the lag time on the Sony is suppose to be best in class and have had not complaints to date with lag. Play a good blu ray disk and the image is truly stunning.

Please keep in mind that is reflective of all projectors (compared to the best flat panel tvs like Panasonic VT and the old KURO). The JVC and Sony projectors are the best of the bunch this year according most reviews for black levels. So my critique isn't saying the Sony has bad black levels...just that projectors can't compete with the best Plasmas for black levels. The picture is honestly stunning to me and if it wasn't for the black bars on movies (i.e. just looking at content within the picture) the black levels and shadow detail are very good.
Hardcore enough that I don't miss a second of any football game and go see several home games a year. I am sure there are bigger nut jobs than me but you have too look pretty hard
BTW, love your kids room. Always good to see fellow Bucknuts
mmmh, I find it strange that nobody mentioned this yet, but you seem to be missing a S2?
Great setup. Like the sunk in surrounds. I'm assuming that the speaker pedestals are customs and so is the component rack. Very well done. It's sort of what I'm envisioning for when we move...I've already showned my wife. SHE'S the one who pointed out the "empty space"
cheers
