The "Post pics of your home theater" thread

I don't have any pics of the HT setup, but I did pick up these vintage KEF monitors recently. :D

Oh yeah, straighten out the tweeter before "someone" notices!

It adds character.

Actually, I'm going to complain at all, because I got them at Goodwill for $9.98.

[StereoInstaller1]

It does NOT add "Character", it adds "English", where they like their teeth just like their tweeters...crooked.

$10/pr at goodiewill? F'ing great deal, man. Do you have some decent power to run them on? Go find an old HK receiver to power them if you has no monies.

Nice score.

Echoing what Luke said, NICE fucking score. KEF's are the shit.

One of our product reps has a pair of KEF tower speakers he wants to trade me for coming back and doing some more work on his house.

I'm running an older 2-channel Pioneer, it does just fine.

I'll fix the tweeter eventually. I had to pull off the terminal plate on one and re-solder the the wires, it was cutting in and out really bad. I'm guessing that was the reason they got rid of them.

[Jand3rson]

I still can't believe they took them to Goodwill. I would think that anyone who has sense enough to buy KEF speakers would have the sense to just have them repaired.

Oh well! Their loss, and your awesome gain!

I don't know if not having a tv counts..hopefully it does?




bad pics all around..the lighting in my place is terrible, even in the day. usually the speakers have covers on them, haha. there is also a small sub somewhere..

Bev, what the hell is that D to A?

Gorgeous setup, absolutely.

Wish I didn't have kids...

Some nice setups on here!

No pictures of mine since it's not much to look at in my crowded room, after christmas stuff is cleared out I may take some pics ;)

Sony 50" DLP 1080i
Yamaha 600 series receiver (can't remember the exact model number) 5.1, DTS, HDMI switching etc. This is the next thing after the TV I'd like to upgrade to 7.1.

Xbox HD DVD

B&W speakers all around:

ASW400 (I think is the number) 400W 12" sub at any rate.

My system is starting to get pretty dated - if I could just stop spending money on cars I would probably update it.
