Last August my wife and I found out we were expecting. Well what better time to start looking for a house and get out of our apartment, especially with the way the market has been. So we began searching and must have looked at over 50 houses before finding one that wasn't in the best shape but just felt right!
We knew we were getting a fixer upper before even stepping foot inside. The home was built in 1948 and we purchased it from the original owner who didn't really take care of anything in the home. Hardwood floors were in really bad shape, doors and windows had been painted shut, the sub floor in one of the bathrooms needed replacing.... the list goes on. For the price, we couldn't pass it up.
When we moved in the first order of business was to get my daughters room ready for her when she gets here. I wont bore you with those pictures today. Well since doing that we also redone the kitchen and the dinning room. They both needed alot of updating. The living room got put on the back burner for now. Well the weekend my daughter was born I decided that needed to change. I wanted to be able to take some time away from the house and relax with my two girls. Well that gave me a great reason to redo the whole thing.
The first time we walked into the house I noticed 2 things. One the nasty hardwood floors and second was a door in the best spot for a TV! Well thankfully there were 2 doors to use to enter the bedroom behind this wall ) Wife is saying no to the blinds lol.
My goal when putting this together was to have something that is simple to watch tv with but will still get down when watching movies. I must say it does both very well. Even better now that I went into the Yamaha HTR-5960 and set the speakers up correctly. Plenty of mids out of these little Nanosat speakers, more than when I heard em on display and the highs can be shrieking high The sub gets down low and nasty loud when its called upon.
Over all I'm very happy with how it has turned out. After all, its a living room we use everyday, not a HT. Sounds great, user friendly, and looks good in the room. Just cant wait to get that 60" here hahaha
