Awesome setup. Very nice!

lDlisturb3d  » Jun 23, 2012 02:11 PM

You're gettin a 11/10 for just having Dark Side of the Moon. Seriously great setup i konw those Sonus Fabers sound good. I almost went with them but B&W got my ear.

ldgibson76  » Apr 23, 2012 05:58 PM

Hello ScuseMe. Please for give the very vague and lack of enthusiasm in the comment I left back in Aug 2010. Your setup is worthy of much, much more. First off, the stand is beautiful. It blends well with the room's color scheme. The SF Grand Piano/Solo Home front stage is magnificent. I love the selection of devices especially the Parasound Halo A25. The components you've selected are all highly regarded and offers a strong performance to value ratio. The system and configuration is seamlessly integrated into the room which is a huge accomplishment. Great media collection also.

Starmartyr  » Sep 22, 2011 02:52 PM

Nice gear! Sonus Fabers are sweet. Love the box sets and the CD wall art too. Great collection. Mind if I ask where the media shelves came from?

Bluvette  » Sep 19, 2011 11:31 PM

Very nice room. Love the speakers.

chingon510  » Aug 07, 2011 01:53 AM

Superb! Super clean 10/10 from me!

nezff  » Jan 27, 2011 09:20 AM

very very nice 10 for you! Dont forget to check my gallery out.

bigred7078  » Nov 29, 2010 12:57 AM

My kind of setup!

vicjd1  » Sep 01, 2010 08:02 PM

nice set up and collection! Dug the Parasound Amp!

gruvncubn  » Sep 01, 2010 07:21 PM

nice home theater system

ScuseMe  » Sep 01, 2010 06:58 PM

Again friends, thank you all for the very nice comments! With all the fantastic HT's listed here in blu-ray.com, it's nice to know the my average system has been received so well. I don 't have a lot of money, so I tend to drive around a lot, listening, comparing, and listening again I want to get the best bang for my money, without sacrificing my eyes & ears, and but with creating a room that regular people would want to sit in and just read or talk. I'd love to have the financial resources to have a dedicated HT like the phenomenal ones shown here, but I'm not in that kind of tax bracket, and never will be. To workaround this limitation, I hoped to fit the best components that I could afford into an area that would fit just fine in any house. From your very nice comments, it seems I've succeeded. And that's the best feeling ever!

brettallica  » Aug 26, 2010 03:50 PM

Beautiful gear, my friend. Solid 10/10 if ever there was one. Keep on keepin' on!

ldgibson76  » Aug 14, 2010 12:39 PM

ScuseMe. You have a wonderful setup. The Sonus Fabers are beautifully crafted speakers! And they sound great!

Madmacfun  » Aug 14, 2010 10:31 AM

Like the theater, sweet storage cabinets. Great job!

Caroline  » Aug 14, 2010 05:48 AM

I saw Bladerunner at the Cinema when it first came out here to Australia, I cannot tell you how many times I have watched it, Vangeles, his music still resonates. Your set up looks great, I can only imagine the sound. We too, bought a Pioneer surround sound HTZ-55DV back 12 - 13 years ago. Still going beautifully, just that the door kept closing as quick as it opened - so we switch audio controls over to the blu-ray Sony BDP- S350 - so we use the speakers on the pioneer, routing audio and visual through the blu-ray - connected to Sony LCD X3100 series - but the blu ray has stopped working. Too connections are gold tipped. Just if you could give us instructions on what we need to do - I see drivers and software, and, here I am unsure - your help most appreciated, too, I love the sound of birds first thing in the morning.

BluRayFred  » Aug 13, 2010 08:09 PM

Very nicely executed. Love that Parasound Amp!

in2video2  » Jul 31, 2010 12:05 PM

Sophisicated environment to fully immerse yourself in your favorite movies. Very well done. You are my inspiration.

BluBlazer  » Jul 30, 2010 09:43 AM

Excellent setup. Really well done and awesome gear. Great job!!

Mariusz666  » Jul 29, 2010 09:09 AM

Awesome setup, wire management #1.

master_8ball  » Jul 28, 2010 01:37 PM

Very nice setup, love the leather look on the speakers. What is the wire you have running on the front of the receiver, BD and DVR?

master_8ball  » Jul 28, 2010 01:36 PM

pab1219  » Jul 22, 2010 04:07 PM

This looks very relaxing and inviting.

ManUtd  » Jul 18, 2010 01:38 PM

Very nicely done. Well organized room and the speakers look awesome.

Morrissey  » Jul 06, 2010 02:16 PM

Just wanted to leave another comment on your gallery after looking at your setup for the tenth time. I love how you blended in your HT with your family room and that sub must shake the house!!!

Spider  » Jul 05, 2010 09:27 AM

wow

croseiv  » Jul 04, 2010 08:01 AM

Very nice! I really like the feel of the room.

kareface  » Jul 04, 2010 05:33 AM

Very nice setup, I like the looks of your speakers.

progers13  » Jul 01, 2010 07:46 PM

Awesome setup, impressive collection, and the decor really adds a nice touch! It's refreshing to actually see some plants in the living room!

okbarshabazz  » Jun 27, 2010 11:29 AM

I have had the pleasure of listening to several Sonus Faber's over the years... don't really see them around much, so I can say I definitely appreciate what you've got there!!

jjbsn5192  » Jun 25, 2010 02:39 PM

Very Impressive very stylish well done!

Johnny Blaze  » Jun 24, 2010 09:57 PM

Awesome setup!!

sythspawn  » Jun 24, 2010 08:25 PM

That media reference book looks nice. I wish DVD Profiler had a Mac version.

ManUtd  » Jun 24, 2010 10:58 AM

Very nicely done! Everything flows very well.

Canada  » Jun 23, 2010 05:15 PM

Great slick set up, absolutely love your Pioneer Elite TV, is it sort of like a Kuro. Your Parasound amplifier is drool worthy

DAK4  » Jun 23, 2010 02:29 PM

Very nice setup and equipment!

Shanester  » Jun 23, 2010 12:49 PM

Very nice set up! Yo Adrian

Johk  » Jun 21, 2010 12:37 PM

Everything looks great! Good job putting it all together!

SeanMF  » Jun 20, 2010 07:21 PM

Nice setup!

ScuseMe  » Jun 20, 2010 12:37 PM

@Everyone - I've been putting together this system for music and HT since around 2001, so it's been a long, long road. Thanks all for you comments! I greatly appreciate them!

ScuseMe  » Jun 20, 2010 12:33 PM

@B.Hulk - Thanks! Yes, that is leather. The floor-standing Sonus Fabers have piano-black sides and are also wrapped in leather. The other speakers in the set are also leather-wrapped. Those Italians can really design great-looking speakers (and they sound great too ).

ScuseMe  » Jun 20, 2010 12:30 PM

@HAMP - I use DVD Profiler. Best program around for cataloging DVD's/Blu-rays. It comes with a lot of pre-made list templates, but you can easily make your own or download one of the hundreds available for free from the invelos web site. I've been a registered user since 2000, and the program keeps getting better and better!

B.Hulk  » Jun 19, 2010 09:07 PM

Your set up is just beautiful The leather look is awesome. that is leather yes? doesnt matter, they are hot!!!

HAMP  » Jun 19, 2010 07:19 PM

What program did you use for your 'Media Reference Book'?

ScuseMe  » Jun 19, 2010 07:17 PM

@ejusted - yes, the cable box gets hot, but I have the PS3 enclosed in a stand which elevates it off the cable box about 2" through a vented enclosure. I haven't noticed any abnormal heat build-up while using the PS3, but I have my Harmony 1100 programmed to shut off the cable box whenever it's not used (helps with the heat a little bit). But it may be time to visit some additional cooling for that area. Thanks for the comment!

ScuseMe  » Jun 19, 2010 07:09 PM

@solarrdadd….."my Bass Man" weighs about 10 lbs (copper/bronze), and I put acoustic dampening feet on his stand. That keeps him "playing", although my servo sub does not jump around like a Mexican jumping bean - it weighs ~100 lbs. and is *very* solid. But I would die thought, if my man took a fall off the edge

ejusted  » Jun 19, 2010 06:57 PM

Great setup!!!One question! Does that cable box get hot? If its anything like mine you may wanna relocate your ps3. You dont wanna fry your console.

Spurrier Sucks  » Jun 19, 2010 05:35 PM

Looks sweet. Bet it sounds great.

solarrdadd  » Jun 19, 2010 05:24 PM

I love everything about it buddy, very nice. I do have one question, "how does that statue not fall off of that 15" sub when it's going?"

SeanMF  » Jun 19, 2010 02:11 PM

Looks good...great job!

kevon27  » Jun 19, 2010 12:43 PM

Wow, speakers with leather on the front. I know those suckers are expensive. Nice setup.
