This is my cozy basement HT room. A great place to catch a new release, an old favorite, or just kick back and listen to some music or do some gaming. 11 x 16 x 7 makes for a small to medium space with some really large sound.

Here you can see the front soundstage with the grills on. The Plasma is a Samsung PN50B860. The picture quality is aces.

The Bowers & Wilkins and SVS make for an imposing front wall of sweet sound.

These fronts deserve more praise than I can give them. For movies they are up front, powerfully dynamic, and with the center deliver a huge soundstage. For music they are honest, meticulously detailed, and a pure joy. The imaging regardless of what you are listening to is incredible. Listening to music in Pure Direct mode you'd swear the sub is on, but it's not. My teenage daughter told me that they don't sound like speakers, they just sound like music. I couldn't agree more.

Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter, kevlar midrange, and kevlar/aluminum/paper composite bass driver.

A 3 way center!? You bet! Dialogue is perfect, even at low levels. Love it!

Polk Audio OWM3's hold down the surround duty. They are great speakers for the money. I like them for the mounting options. They are out of the way but provide a big sound.

The sectional provides a comfortable spot for the whole family to enjoy.

Great sub from a great company. Powerful, loud, distortion free reproduction into the hz teens. The Auralex GRAMMA it sits on helps clean up the bass and keep it in the room, not in the floor and walls.

Here you can see the shelves I put in for movies. Just high enough the little ones have to ask first .

This AVR rocks. Great power and loaded with features. Has the same scaler as the OPPO BDP-83, Audyssey DSX, networking capabilities and will play nice with just about anything.

I like to play my .flac files loud on the 683's. I can just put them on a USB drive, or the external I made from the 120gb PS3 drive I swapped out, and plug it right into the front of the AVR. Sweet .

Blu-ray player, gaming console, media superhub. It's awesome. Also plays well with my PC. I upgraded the HD to 320gb.

One of the greatest consoles of all time. My kids get more use out of it now, but I still like to play. This is one of the original launch consoles and still works great.

It's strange to call the PS1 and PS2 games "old school" but that's about what they are now. I have a good collection of both, as well as a box of the "really old" goodies (NES and SNES).

The Motorola DVR is new and it's a large upgrade from their old box. This one has a dual tuner as well as a larger hard drive. It also has a "source native" output so I can let the ABT scaler in my Denon do all of the upconversion.

Sony MDR-XD400. Good headphones with a 20ft (including extension) cord. Perfect for late night when the kids are sleeping.

I don't use the colors much but I do like the lights, I use the color you see here mostly.

Brandon, Really nicely done, clean looking Home Theater. I particularly like the speakers and the sub. Excellent usage of the available space. You should be pleased with the set-up and it's performance. Congratulations. Rich

Dase  » Jan 19, 2011 04:58 PM

Thanks guys!! There may be some changes coming up in the next couple months, but maybe not, everything has been to my satisfaction for some time now .

Badas  » Jan 17, 2011 08:11 PM

Nice Gear.

beautiful room. love the speakers. Very clean. classic

Johnny Blaze  » Nov 16, 2010 06:13 PM

Awesome looking front stage! Love the gear!

Dase  » Nov 02, 2010 12:12 PM

Thanks Landry and petew. I LOVE the front stage for sure. A huge sound and value for the price, I just need the rears to match now. The 685's would sound great back there . Thanks again everyone! for the great comments.

petew  » Oct 31, 2010 10:30 AM

Great looking room. I'm so impressed with the B&W's you have. I think the 683 is about 90% of the Nautilus 804 at about one third the cost. The driver complement is very similar with a Nautilus tweeter, FST mid and dual bass drivers. Incredible value. I'm thinking about getting speakers from that line for my side and rear surrounds. Not sure which model though - the 683's might be overkill, but gotta love the FST mid.

landry_p2000  » Oct 31, 2010 01:37 AM

Love the speakers Dase. I went and listened to that same front stage today, and it sounds amazing. B&W speakers are nice, and I may be considering some very soon.

Hoser59  » Oct 12, 2010 06:21 PM

That is a great space you have, and those B&W speakers are beautiful

bz1080p  » Sep 29, 2010 10:00 AM

What a beautiful setup! Nice B&W speakers and SVS, looks like a real comfortable layout to enjoy your movies and music!

jaama2shy  » Sep 25, 2010 07:58 PM

sweet awsome

Hammie  » Sep 22, 2010 10:55 PM

Great setup, Dase. You did a great job. Love the room color. I want to go darker with my room, but the WAF is "no."

landry_p2000  » Sep 13, 2010 02:24 AM

Those black B&W's are sexy!

gruvncubn  » Sep 08, 2010 05:33 PM

Love those B&W's! Nice home theater

ManUtd  » Aug 22, 2010 06:16 PM

The kevlar looks good!

DragonSarc  » Aug 09, 2010 09:31 PM

exe  » Jul 02, 2010 03:00 PM

nice place, very competent gear

kevon27  » Jun 19, 2010 12:25 PM

This is such a clean and beautiful setup.. Have you every thought about getting an Emotiva XPA 3 amp to push the fronts? To bad I cannot vote twice.

Adam41591  » Jun 19, 2010 04:05 AM

Love that kevlar!

crazyBLUE  » Jun 18, 2010 06:51 AM

dase ~ The new pics look GREAT !!! I think its time to think about an Amplifier to bring those Beautiful B&W's to life !! The Home Theater looks great & if I could go higher with the rating I would !

rickdeth  » Jun 08, 2010 01:59 PM
