awesome setup buddy, very nice room. Love the rack

DLS_222, you have a very impressive room and setup. Great photos also. I love how you've integrated the Auralex products. Now, about the flat panel..... your room is begging for the big screen! Have you considered a motorized drop screen/front projector concept? Not hating on the Samsung because it's a fine LCD! But man, nothing less than an 80" screen should be your next modification. Regardless, your system and room are worthy of a perfect score.

From a Studio owner to another, you'd get a 10 just for having those !

I absolutely love your setup! Love the Paradigm Studios. Also I really like how you have gone with all black in equipment/speaker choices. Looks very clean and all business. Exactly what I would do.

You have an awesome set up bro, I am definitly going to have something like that when I finish uni haha.
I was wondering, how many speakers do you have?
7.1 surround sound?
I thought I saw 2 fronts, one sub, 4 rears, is that right?....ohhh and not too mention the MASSIVE centre speaker

very nice taste in equipment. could you share any impressions of audio/video quality the oppo has over any other blu ray players you've used. ive owned paradigm in the past and am quite familiar and fond of their sound, and currently have a yamaha amp. your feedback would be valuable to me in deciding to make a change towards the oppo.
