The front soundstage, A/V rack, and 24" Wega. It's a small room, so I think
the TV size is appropriate. I sit around six feet from the TV. The rack is
a Salamander Designs Archetype 5.0. You can see my Sony LCD remote and my $8
IKEA Robin Clamp Spotlight, which I love (attached to the A/V rack).

Here you can see one of the theater's most frequent customers, perched atop
the center channel. His name is Jaco Pastorius Croft. The shelf for the
center speaker was about $15 at a local home accent store. I use them for my
surrounds, too. You can also see my DVD collection (about 60 DVDs), which is
in desperate need of it's own rack (Boltz-USA, here I come).

This is a shot of my Polk surround, which sits atop another $15 shelf.
Another IKEA spotlight is ready to shine on my ShowOff Displays move poster
frames (when they get here...they're ordered, but not here yet). Also visibe
is my Dogma poster, singed by writer/director Kevin Smith. This will get a
frame when they arrive, alone with my posters from American Beauty, Almost
Famous, and Chasing Amy.

A shot of my back wall. As you can see, my small apartment room requires me
to have the surround directly above the listening position, on small
shelves. With the help of the forums, I found out that facing the speakers
inwards towards one another makes a HUGE difference in sound with this
seating arrangement. I get a great rear soundfield right over my head.
Before facing them inward, the rears were not nearly as present. I'm
thinking I'll probably put the American Beauty poster in frame right there
in the center of the surrounds.

That's Billy Crudup in the already-classic Tiny Dancer scene.
