Ok, here's a pic of mine.

Samsung PN58b550 Plasma (love the thing)
LG Blue Ray player I just picke up, forget the model number. It's their base model but works great, just no BD live stuff.
Harmon/Kardon AVR520 I bought about seven years ago. Wish I had hdmi switching, but the thing sounds way too good to replace. Would be nice to have the hd sound too, but not sure if my lousy ears could really tell the difference.
Cambridge soundworks speakers with a Acoustech 10" sub.

Overall I really love the whole setup. Like I said, hdmi switching would be nice, but not worth the expense to get a receiver that sounds as good as this one.

Steve has a nice setup, but his Dog would not let me get close enough to check it out.

What can I say, she's a good judge of character.

Here is mine.

Any Bang & Olufsen fans?

I use to have a B&O setup but at that point lagged in surround sound and then just was too expensive to upgrade.
[Reply]

Steve, your cable box and blu-ray should have an optical sound out and hopefully the H/K has input channels for optical. If so, you're in business. HD sound!

Samsung PN50B530 50" plasma
Jamo S413 satellites x4
Jamo S41CEN.2 centre channel
Jamo SUB200 8" powered subwoofer
old JVC receiver (forget model, will soon be replaced with a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K)
Popcorn Hour A-100
debian NAS server w/ 5TB of storage (for the time being :-) )

I'll likely be upgrading the Popcorn Hour A-100 to either the new C-200 w/ blu-ray or building a dedicated HTPC in the near future.

Magnavox Blu Ray player
Toshiba HD player

Sony Beta HiFi player/recorder
HK Receiver, 5.1
Denon DP47 turntable back in the box for now
Home built LS35a main speakers
Klipsh 10" powerd subwoofer
Center and Sorround Speakers Definative Tech.
Kimber Kable, TC for all front speakers

I was an audiophile in a previous life.....

I have an optical out from the cable box and a coaxial digital out from the blu ray (didn't have optical). Does the blu ray player decode the hd sound? I thought the receiver had to be capable of it. But like I said, still sounds awesome so I don't know if I could tell the difference anyhow. :-)
[Reply]

Depends on the model LG you have, Steve. If you look it up, the spec will tell you if the unit decodes or if it requires outside decoding.

Hey, if you're happy, that's all that matter! I totally agree with that. :-)

Just last night I picked up the Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver, a set of Energy Take 5 speakers, and a Polk 10" sub

I ordered a 46" Toshiba Regza 120 HZ LCD and Blu-Ray player at the beginning of December and the first shipment was lost somewhere. Another TV and BD player was shipped out this week but hasn't arrived yet.

I hooked up the receiver, center, two fronts and the Sub to my existing TV last night and let it play for a bit and it sounds awesome. The speaker manual urges a 50-hr break-in period at normal listening levels so I haven't cranked them yet, but listening to movie themes and big band music (lots of horns, separate instruments) the speakers sound great.

Soon as the TV comes in I'll be posting pics!

Nice, Onkyo makes some good shiznit :-)

62" Toshiba TV
PS3
Directtv HD DVR
Sony 400 Disc DVD Megachanger
Samsung Blu Ray player with Netflix and Pandora streaming
Monster Cable PowerCenter for protection
Onkyo SR 876 powering the whole thing

Speakers:

Axiom VP 150 center channel
Advent Legacy mains (due to be replaced, but these are fantastic)
Axiom QS 8's x4 as side surrounds and rear surrounds.

And finally:

Those are not end tables the lamps are sitting on they are dual Outlaw Audio
LFM-1 EX subwoofers, one on each side of the couch. These things make the entire room SHAKE!!!!

Jamie, HD sound isn't carried over optical. If he doesn't have HDMI he needs to have 7.1 analog out on the blu ray and in on his receiver.
[Reply]

Great thread and you guys have some killer setups!

In my man cave I'm running-

Toshiba 42 incher
Denon AVR-1909
Samsung BluRay Player
Bose Acoustimass 10

Not much but it does the job.

Well, final config changes are now done. Our customized cabinet/stand (75" x 27.5" x 20") finally arrived and I bought a Samsung BD-P1600 Bluray player to replace the old non-upscaling 5-disc DVD changer we used to have. Might have to upgrade the NAS soon though, I'm down to 2.5TB free.....

crappy cell phone pic from when the stand was delivered:

all wired up and running happily:

The centre channel is hidden behind the plasma since it's too tall to sit in front and I didn't have the centre section made as wide as I thought I was going to. The idea was to have all the components on the lower level and the centre in where the BD player is but it's not a big issue. This config leaves lots of room for the Zune dock and Harmony 720 charging station (to the left of the BD player, can't really see in this pic).
