You got that right. Listening to Tool, Billie Eilish or Tchaikovsky.

Would you remind me what your speakers are? I seem to recall they are a home build. When I see HTs like this, I'm reminded why I've dubbed mine "The Ugly Dome". It is designed 100% for performance, and 0% presentation. Mainly for budgetary reasons.

Welcome back, Chris.

Ah, you swapped them with the subs, it seems. Much better placement, giving the speakers more room to breathe.

Very cool!

Thanks. You don't hear about Phase Tech speakers very often. I have some in my office that I've had for 30 years.

I like the starry sky aspect.

Interesting! In my living room I also upgraded from a TCL 4 series to a Vizio M series. BIG improvement.

...envying the Legacys

You have to admit, that old sub holds its own remarkably well. At least mine does. I cringe at the thought of how expensive it will be to replace it with something substantially better.

The miracles of photography. A lifetime of knowing how to make things look better than they do. I do have dreams, though. The room has the potential for some extreme remodeling. In my dreams I include something like Dave has, since the back wall after the demo would have plumbing.

More and more I’m reminded why I call my HT “The Uglydome”.

Every HT should have a kitchenette.

@Mike2001 I see you have a couple Criterions in your collection. That media storage is epic.

The feet are kind of the point, aren't they? Can't exactly agree with the "beautiful" part. It needs a serious remod. It is a nice, big room, though, and could be even bigger if I did the remod. That half of the house has a metal beam holding it up, so 3/4 of the house, I mean 3/4 of the...

OK, here's a current pic. Small changes and a little less cluttered. Cinderella is replaced with what is clearly not Cinderella. The current amps, which will still change a bit. Oh yeah, why are the speakers so far out into the room? The back of the L&R is 4' from the wall. Plenty of room...

I have to admit those Legacys look really nice.

Thiels were always impeccably finished. Real hardwood veneers, with the grain structure being mirror images. These are called Amberwood, which looks like Rosewood. They're also finished on all sides. The connections are on the bottom of the speaker.

Here are some from last year. It was cluttered even a little more than usual. An abbreviated gear list. Some has changed since then. I'll do a new pic after I clean the place up a bit. Speakers: Thiel CS 3.6 L&R ELAC UniFi C5 (My Thiel center was hopelessly damaged and I had to find a...

@John Dirk I was going to ask where the D-Sonic is, but it's in the comments for the last shot.

Well, @Dave Upton , You started it... You first.
