I'm a college kid on a budget with a love for music and home theater. I'm slowly building my system through friends and various deals I can get through my employment with Best Buy. When I first started working there, I thought that was the best home theater could get. Very soon, I realized I was very wrong. When I saw the setups that my friend was building and going to high end audio video stores, I decided that I wanted more. This is a work in progress for surround sound and stereo music listening in a bedroom setup. I get most of my music from my pc hard drive through winamp, and the rest from an old 6 disc cd player I got from my girlfriend.
Planned future upgrades:
1. Belkin power conditioner
2. Monster cable bi-wire speaker cables
3. Samsung 50" DLP
4. Denon or Sony DVD/SACD player
5. More powerful center channel
6. Possibly a 2 channel amp for the main towers.
7. Martin Logan Aeon i towers (future dream)
Feel free to leave suggestions or tips. Any help is most appreciated.
Awesome towers that I got from a friend. These were replaced by his Martin Logans. Frequency Response: 30Hz-20kHz Drivers: 2x 5.25" Aluminum Cone Woofers, 1x 1" polyshell dome tweeter, 1x 10" side-firing subwoofer.
Sapphire SC
This is the matching center channel to my towers. Just acquired this for Christmas.
Pioneer CS-M755
I use these as my surround speakers.
Yamaha NS-C125
This small center channel has been moved to the rear center location since the addition of the new Sapphire center channel.
Yamaha RXV-1300

Pioneer DV-47A - L337
The most bad ass DVD player I have ever seen!
Harmony Remote 676
I picked this up in a contest our department won my first Christmas with Best Buy. It's a great remote that will control anything that can be controlled with IR commands. Everything is programmed from the harmonyremote.com website and managed with a profile page that keeps track of all the equipment in your system.
