A larger TV, and tower speakers would accentuate all of the space you have to offer. Maybe some tall lamps, or draperies?

By the looks of that speaker, I'd say it's about time you fasten down your DVDs. Don't need them falling on your head in the middle of an on-screen explosion... Though I guess that will make your entertainment setup reach a new dimension of interactivity. I would say 4D... but I don't believe that is a 3D television... therefore, I guess you have 3D-- but not?
I don't need. It's 2AM. I should go to bed. ><

Hehe I was going to say that the dvds look a bit unstable. That setup would literally be mind blowing!
I wonder what the neighbours think?

Got a new setup.
Went from 42inch tv to a 47inch led.
Speakers were Wharefdale diamond, now Kef 3005se
Actually, looks a little bare to be honest. Ideas for where to go from here would be appreciated
My advise if you don't care much of spending a little more you go see Spectral products (here's the link). This brand it is not very cheap, but I got all glass furniture stand for my Plasma and it is great quality and very beautiful.
Like you have a great space the catena line of Spectral would fit there like a glove.
If money is a issue, then my advice is going to Ikea and look at stands like those like Catena line of Spectral, they have many different looking but they aren't half the quality of Spectral in my opinion.
I'm assuming they are wishing he wasn't their neighbor. XD Especially during high-action films with a lot of shooting and explosions.
No Blu-rays or DVD's have fallen; we mounted the shelves right into the studs. And not many complaints from the upstairs neighbour. Just when the roommates watch a movie really loud, and it's honestly not from the sub. My roommates seem to think that the sub makes mid-bass louder...
oh hell yea! but it doesnt HAVE to be loud to hear it clearly. just reasonably-loudI'm assuming they are wishing he wasn't their neighbor. XD Especially during high-action films with a lot of shooting and explosions.
silly room mates.
do you like the differences between DVD & BD? do you see it as night and day for both video and audio? i do and i use my TVs built in speakers!
I dont to come off rude, but the wallpaper, or whatever that is, has to go. Some color on the wall would go a long way. With that size of an area, you have SO many options. Some type of table or wall unit would look good there. Those plants have to go too. If you dont want to spend lots of money, go to Ikea. You can go crazy in that area with a few hours at Ikea.
Yeh, i hate that wallpaper. Its a rented apartment though, so im limited in what i can do about that. I had to ask the owner just to be able to wall mount the tv
I live in korea, so IKEA is only available online. Makes it a little tough to choose things i cant physically see.
I looked at the spectral thing someone else mentioned, just i tried to move away from having a tv stand.
I definitely need to do something though

Not a huge difference on that TV, it's a 720 DLP, if it was a direct view the difference would be much bigger, but it has the rear projection shimmer to it... The difference on my 24" 1080P Dell and my HD tube is amazing though.
daym you really need to get a 1080p projector (or TV
).the sound would be noticeable though
?

I haven't noticed a difference. I am still using optical for sound, until I can afford to get an HK with HDMI.

That is sweeeeet!
I posted way back when this thread was just getting started, but just went through some major upgrades.
I replaced my 65" HDTV with a 1080p projector, so for the folks out there complaining that "it's not a home theater unless there's a projector," I guess mine qualifies now
I'm quite happy with the new setup -- Blu-Ray movies look awesome on the projector, much more "theatrical" than on the big screen TV!
EDIT (August 5) -- My home theater has been a work in progress, but with the addition of a new bar/concession stand, I think it may finally be complete
Unbelievable!
Nothing too impressive.
47" LG 47LG70

Sorry for iPhone pic.
Dude whats with the carpet?
wow ok im surprised that you hadnt noticed anything, as i have even using my TV speakers, i said that before didnt i lol?
Nothing too special right now as it's only got my PS3 connected but..
It's a 42" LG Scarlet 42LH300 1080p Television with my PS3 connected via HDMI running at full 1080p 16:9 60hz.
Soon I will have Sky +HD & a 5.1 surround sound LG system and a Mac Mini.
WOW after looking at all these amazing HT setups i feel kinda stupid to be watching all my media off a 17" iMac with Logitech Z2300 speakers and a 500GB external
I've just set up some AV stuff. I've kept my old stereo (Arcam A65, P75, CD72 and B&W 601s) and added a Panasonic TX-P42G15, an Apple TV, a Humax Foxsat HDR (upgraded to 2Tb) for Freesat and a PS3 ...
Lovely...like the look of that a lot. Bet it sounds great too
Dude whats with the carpet?
Considering that picture was taken in my bedroom, that is what is up with it.
Since then though, that setup has been moved to my apartment.
