Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

[ianh]

I just found an old picture of my 2000 setup when I had to move into a tiny room and had to mount everything together, even has my old CRT still and the whole thing was over 6ft tall It's all gone now, got a HTPC linked to a 42" Toshiba LCD with a Sony 5.1 all'n'one system.

Will post a pic (if people are interested) once the living room has been tidied up a bit (6 month old's toys everywhere ), but the surround setup downstairs is:

Yamaha DSPAX640SETII av amp - Acoustic Energy Evo 3 for fronts, Evo 1 for the rear and Evo Centre you can probably work out for yourselves - Rel Q200mkII sub 32" Panny lcd - 2 x pvr 1 x dvdr 1 x vcr (old school!) and a Logitec Harmony 525 remote (fantastic bits of kit, once you've got your head around them!)

For 2 channel, I have a Kenwood HD600 unit (bet none of you can find out what that is), comprising of Amp, CD, tape and tuner, and a Project Debut MKIII speedbox turntable, using the Evo3 and Sub from the above surround setup.

For the pc (upstairs) I use a Sony STRLV500 surround amp connected to Mordaunt Short MS5.2 fronts, Elac Cinema 2 centre, Wharfdale Valdus 100 rears and an Elac 05 sub!

Bedroom has a Denon DM31 system, with an Eltax sub.

All the systems are wired with either QED Qudos Silver Anniversary Bi-Wire, QED Qudos or QED Qudos Micro - interconnects are many and varied, but of similar spec to the speaker cable.

Sennheiser HD580 Precision headphones for when it all gets a bit noisy!

Hi,

Is the T.V wall mounted or is it mounted to the stand?

If it is mounted to the stand can you tell me where you got it from?

Thanks.

Finally got the time to put them back together tonight, everything works... my soldering included!

Somehow missed your update here - good work!

 

[magick]

just a quick shot...didn't really do much tidying up. Have just replaced my wdtv with a acer revo and whacked the excellent and beautiful xbmc on it. Took a bit of setting up, but starting to get to grips with it!

What media center on the tv is that you are running?

 

[snow patrol]

it's xbmc (dhama beta build) with the Aeon skin, running on an acer revo 3610 pc (next to the xbox). I've now changed to the 'alaska revisited' skin, which looks pretty damn sweet as well.

Very nice. Quicky...how have you gotten round the lack of remote receiver on the Revo?

bought a mce remote from the bay for about £15 which came with an ir receiver which i plug into the revo. I actually prefer using my mini wireless keyboard though to be honest!

Thanks for that. Got a Harmony 525 so I'm hoping it'll play nicely with Revo + XBMC + W7 + WMC.

Did you have to do all the box art yourself? Been a while since I used XBMC!

no, it downloads automatically once you set it up properly

Here we go - a pic of the main setup as promised


Hi-Fi stand is on it's way for the 2chn bits, and the aerial cable will be coming in from behind the setup, so I can ditch the loose wires from underneath.

The besterest game is watching Pixar type films - these have a stupidly high lfe - and seeing how long it takes for the pigs on the sub to vibrate off!

Seeing a pic of the system has really shown me I need to dust a bit more
