Lovely setup mate - nice and neat. Love your polks!

TCR Alliance  » Mar 06, 2011 03:10 PM

Nice setup!!!

B.Hulk  » Jan 11, 2011 11:51 AM

Love the Polk's nice setup

Morrissey  » Aug 09, 2010 08:39 AM

Great looking Home Theatre! Really nice screen shots as well!

snsguy  » Apr 12, 2010 05:24 PM

You've got some nice components. Nice job on the setup!

jonmoz  » Apr 04, 2010 04:14 AM

Nice set up,your seating and led lighting are awsome.

DAK4  » Mar 30, 2010 04:18 PM

Nice setup and equipment! Great job on building the stands yourself!

kareface  » Feb 25, 2010 10:09 PM

It looks like you could sink into that recliner, so want to get one like that for my room.

Hoser59  » Feb 17, 2010 11:43 AM

Great setup! I love the polk speakers (especially since I have them too) and your seating looks super comfy

stroudenov  » Jan 19, 2010 02:11 PM

love the Twin Peaks

tilapiah6  » Nov 15, 2009 08:34 PM

That is a movie called Swimming Pool. It's an independent film I picked up about 6 years ago. It's an okay movie. That whole row is filled with Blu-rays now! I just need a new camera to update stuff.

Lucy Diamond  » Nov 12, 2009 02:38 PM

What is the DvD movie on the right side with the girl with her legs in the pool???

SeanMF  » Oct 24, 2009 07:27 PM

Excellent room...very nice!

tbizzle  » Oct 01, 2009 08:43 AM

Ok you've commented on all of my setups, and I've seen your setup a bunch of times, so this is long overdue. Your setup kicks ass man, I love it. Especially your mini risers for the 70's, those are awesome. Btw, I always wondered what Twin Peaks was from seeing it in your gallery, and I finally just looked it up. Actually sounds like a really cool show, I'll have to check it out sometime

obiwopkenobi62  » Sep 04, 2009 09:21 PM

Just wanted to say Awesome setup. Kudos...

tilapiah6  » Jul 12, 2009 02:20 PM

Thanks! Yes, I bought the 15 inch system.

blurayuser09  » Jul 08, 2009 05:49 AM

Your pad looks great! Are these the backlights that you bought? Cyron 15" lightbars: http://www.amazon.com/Cyron-SCP1502B-Pro-Lightbars/dp/B000Q9QZOA/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1247046083&sr=1-8 Did you get the 15" or 24" bars? Thanks.

LE MAN  » Jul 06, 2009 08:26 AM

Nice set up and seats too

LaMp-PoSt-MaFiA  » Jun 25, 2009 01:36 PM

looks nice for the amount of space you have to work with.... nice work.

PitbullMike  » Jun 14, 2009 08:48 PM

I decided to check out your set up bc I found you on the 'Polk, most popular on the forums?' Thread and I must say your system rocks.Those Polks look amazing and I bet they sound amazing too

tilapiah6  » Jun 02, 2009 12:27 AM

I can certainly help you build some if you live in the Rapid City area! The risers have made the bass sound much more natural and less muddled.

rpneuss  » Jun 01, 2009 09:04 PM

Very sweet setup tilapiah! Can u come build some sub risers for the 300's that I have? Have they helped out the sound?

tilapiah6  » May 03, 2009 09:35 PM

Thanks guys! The speaker risers/sub riser were fairly easy to make. The total cost of supplies was right around 70 dollars, and I think I may have put about 5 to 6 hours total into them from scratch. I'm not a handyman by any means when it comes to building stuff, so it was interesting and a learning experience for me. Next up: foam on the walls (ordered).

PitbullMike  » May 03, 2009 05:21 PM

I really like your risers,I would have made myself some if I was handy

stevo  » May 03, 2009 01:22 PM

Nice set up how much of a difference have the speaker stands made?

liquidice  » Apr 17, 2009 12:35 AM

dig the Twin Peak's my friend...I'm onboard for voting for a blu release on the series as well. Nice layout.

Sonny  » Mar 28, 2009 11:02 PM

Everything looks REALLY GOOD!! Nice work , my military brother!

Skinnyscut  » Mar 27, 2009 01:06 AM

WOW!!! That Laura Palmer Pic was beuatiful!!!!!

tilapiah6  » Mar 04, 2009 11:53 AM

Thanks! I bought the lights from amazon.com. Worth every penny!

dannyjl  » Mar 04, 2009 02:42 AM

Nice setup tilapiah! Could you tell us exactly what Cyron light you have and where did you get it? That blue backlighting is ultra cool.

Santeria  » Mar 04, 2009 12:46 AM

wow nice setup... can i have your awesome seats!?

tilapiah6  » Mar 03, 2009 05:21 PM

brettallica, thank you! Also, those cup holders come out for easy cleaning. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

brettallica  » Mar 02, 2009 05:35 PM

I really like your super-comfortable theater ... eh hem ... love seat. That'd be right along the lines of something I'll get once the kids are a little older. Right now, those cup holders would turn into crumb collectors really quick! Great setup overall. One of only a few I've ranked as 10/10.

tilapiah6  » Feb 25, 2009 11:57 PM

Thanks guys! Twin Peaks is definitely my all time favorite show. Supposedly the Sammy will arrive on Tuesday, 3 March. Hopefully sooner..... I seriously can't wait.

deckardp  » Feb 25, 2009 04:07 PM

I have to give you a high rating for the fact that you have screen shots of Twin Peaks. Favorite show also.

Hammie  » Feb 24, 2009 10:38 AM

Nice setup. That couch looks super comfortable. BTW, when does the Sammy arrive?

jayo  » Feb 17, 2009 07:10 AM

very nice set up,love the speakers they look great.love the seating.

tilapiah6  » Feb 11, 2009 08:46 AM

Then maybe I'll be done and can get back to buying Blus. I haven't purchased one since the beginning of December!

tilapiah6  » Feb 10, 2009 12:05 PM

More changes coming. I just had my kick ass new furniture delivered and some time this week (hopefully) I'll get the other two speakers delivered to complete the 7.1 as well as upgrading to the Harmony One remote.

Yeha-Noha  » Feb 07, 2009 11:50 PM

Wow, it's fabulous! Those improvements have elevated your HT to top notch. It's a 10! Great job.

tilapiah6  » Feb 06, 2009 05:26 PM

I bought them from amazon.com. Just search for Cyron Backlights and they should come up.

petenad  » Feb 05, 2009 03:39 PM

Great looking system can I ask where you got those backlights?? They would work well for me as well.

joegs300  » Feb 05, 2009 09:35 AM

+9 because of your beautiful daughter and how your center channel is almost as big as her!

tilapiah6  » Feb 04, 2009 06:35 AM

I've since replaced those ghetto looking towels with some nice triangular pieces of foam. I'm getting two small rear surround speakers today, so I'll be taking more pictures to replace the ones there now.

PootieThang  » Feb 04, 2009 02:14 AM

How come you don't have the CS2 turned around so it aims up instead of using towels to aim it up? Check out how I did it on mines...

-DLS-  » Jan 30, 2009 08:34 PM

Looks good with the speakers out now. Must sound a lot better too - especially with that ED!! I'm always gonna have to wonder now how that MONSTER sounds. Nice job!!

efesbe  » Jan 29, 2009 03:42 PM

I agree, Twin Peaks was one of my all time favorite series. I sat through an entire day when they played a Twin Peaks marathon. Actually it was the first time I've ever watched it and I couldn't leave once you start. Awesome setup. Was considering that sub before I went with what I have.

Fors*  » Jan 26, 2009 01:34 PM

They look great! I luv my Cyron system as well. They are a really nice addition to the set up, isn't it? In Additona, my 4 year old daughter luvs to look and play with them too (when I'm not around that is!) I'll have to keep a closer eye on her

BUBBASAX420  » Jan 24, 2009 05:12 PM

THE NEW LIGHTS LOOK GREAT WOW

Katter  » Jan 24, 2009 02:01 PM

Nice Set-Up, Very Clean. Polks are great speakers. I like the idea of one remote, I might look into that.
