Hello Johk.
Well done. The system is remarkably clean and efficient. I like how you've upgrade the poweer cords. A rating of "10" is a no brainer here!

Thanks for the comments everybody!

bhoup: The sectional in the basement comes from ligne roset (www.ligne-roset-usa.com). The sofa in the living room is from Ikea. Also I really love my Axiom speakers, great quality for a reasonable price! You can audition them before you buy by contacting them (they have a network of customers that will show their toys in their home). I have never heard Aperion speakers but from what I've read they look like a very good product.

I loooove this room. I've been thinking about trying out Axiom towers for some time now and I think after viewing this I just might
do it. LOL Currently I have Aperion towers, which were an upgrade from some Polk Audio's but I also had the same Athena's you
have in your old picture and absolutely loved them as well. By the way, where did you get the sofa?

Thanks for the rating Johk. It gave me an excuse to come look at your setup again. What a fantastic room. Among the nicest I've seen here. And the fact that you've got so much going on with an open-style cabinet, but have minimal cables showing, is beautiful.

Nice set-up! Very clean, very elegant.

This setup is like something out of a "what your home theater is supposed to look like" article or something. Very clean and tidy, and also not garish or overly "home theater guru"ish either. It's really pretty close to perfect in the sense of blending a living room with a home theater. I also really dig the position of the center channel.

10/10!
