Spalted maple and red cedar AV rack I built with tempered, smoked glass shelves, which now resides in my bedroom for my 2-channel system


This is the living room, prior to the wiring going in-wall for the TV and speakers, and the window to the left being removed, and dry-walled in for the AV rack. This also shows the old model 90 center channel which was replaced with the 200c.

Great setup. Thanks for sharing. I have the BD-55 and it has served me well.

Clean looking setup! I have that exact same piece of artwork

Thank you both.

I'm a collector of Patrick Nagel and Dennis Mukai artwork. I have a ton of prints, and quite a few originals and S/N and AP pieces as well. The two in the above pictures are just closed edition prints, though. The framing and matting cost more than the prints. haha

I really like the BD55. I have a BD35 as well (same thing minus the analog outputs and divx decoding.) The only thing I don't like is the boot time it takes when inserting a BD with live content, like Avatar for example. I guess I got spoiled by CDs, then regular DVDs being nearly instant to load.
I'll be much happier when I get the cables for the TV and speakers put in-wall so htey aren't visible, and have the 36U AV rack put into place in the wall. Then everything will be neat and tidy and tucked away. I'm so very OCD that way.

I updated a few things. namely, got rid of the crappy TT I had and replaced it with something a little nicer.
