How does Best Buy's Apple division Pay???

Haha, funny story, while I am the Apple Expert, I am a Customer Assistant, so I literally work all over the store. My fiancé and I bought this together, so it wasn't just me, as I am still in the college as we speak.

Sorry about the wait on the reply.
I absolutely love these speakers! While they are small, with power they are very responsive, and they sound amazing, and I have tried to make them distort from over-powering and I can not with the 550 watt Yamaha receiver that I have.

It was in front of the fireplace, but I have since moved and therefore there is no fireplace blockage anymore.

The perfect place for it was on top of the sub! I didn't have room to put it anywhere else, although if I had have the room, I don't know that I would have...:D

Hmm thanks man, so I'll guess thats what we're getting if there's a home theatre. There's a hi-fi retailer nearby, they have Klipsch Reference, Im guessing they also have those. Thanks again.

Got to experience a setup almost identical to this yesterday:

BeoLiving-2.jpg


And then when you press the DVD button on the remote, it transforms into this:

BeoLiving-1.jpg


I swear, the best movie experience I have ever had. Full 7.2 surround sound:

Main speakers:
• 2 x BeoLab 5 (no need for a subwoofer with these)
Rear speakers:
• 4 x BeoLab 3
• BeoSystem 3 processor/automation
• Samsung something or other projector, produced a fantastic image, although partly down to the BeoSystem 3.
• BeoCenter 2 DVD player

EDIT: forgot the centre channel:
• BeoLab 10

Absolutely

Incredible.

I would talk about watts, and believe me the numbers are incredible, but numbers don't really mean anything. The only way you can tell how good something is is to hear/see it in real life...

Thanks Victor ! :)
Good observation. The pics are panoramas composed from 3 frames. Plus some lens correction on PS makes it look that way. But then the guitar is a miniature one.. about 1/2 the size of a real one. ;)

I like it a lot.

How comfy are the chairs?
Right now, I am stuck between getting "theater style" chairs or a new couch for my theater.

Thanks ! :D
Those recliners (sold as a love seat + 3 seater sofa) are very comfy. In fact if you recline on it all the way back you might go to sleep and miss the movie !! :p (happened twice with me)
I got these from Mor furniture. Another good thing about these is that there is a remote box and cup holders in between the 2 recliners. Those are really useful !

You in-wall wiring look cool. I wish I could do that !

My theatre (in the making//subject to change in the next 3 months) is 4.1 channels. I expect to have it be some sort of 7.2 by february/march. Polk FTW.

wouldn't it sound better with the floorstanders as the main/fronts and the smaller speakers as surrounds?

50" LG Plasma TV.
PlayStation 3 (60GB).
Sony 7.1 Surround Sound Receiver.
HD Set Top Box.

There's more seating like you see on the right, behind the camera.
I'll have to take some more, clearer pictures some other time.

It's in my room and because I originally had the first gen iPhone and a friend of mine mannaged to drop it and crack the screen pretty bad. They helped my buy the new 3g so that's why. I'm not going to lie i like the original iPhone better but what ever.
