Look what I'm getting.....

Nice setup bro. I am a total neat and clean freak, so all of our home theater equipment is installed in the wall. Nothing sits on the floor, no cables showing anywhere. All of the equipment sits in a rack, inside the wall. I ran some sweet fiber optic light strips to add some ambience to the room.

It's going to be a battle between Epifani and Bergantino to see who is the alpha male of bass cabs in my house. I may keep both, but I doubt it. I don't like the mix and match look. If the Bertgies lose out, I'll let you know. We usually make it down to P-Town once every couple months.

Sounds good. I'm not a clean freak by any stretch of the imagination (particularly since my autistic toddler trashes the place faster than I can clean it), though I keep my theater clean since it's my sanctuary. In-wall speakers just didn't do it for me, though -- fortunately, my wife loves the look of my Paradigms, and the rosewood veneer is too gorgeous to hide. The equipment is in a ventilated closet, though. I couldn't hide the garden-hose sized speaker cables, either -- I'm too ashamed to admit I got suckered into buying more expensive cables than I need, and they do add a nicely imposing look.

Well hey, if you ever want to put anything inside the wall like your cables, let me know. I have 17+ years experience finishing drywall. I could come down and help you out.

I think your setup looks great. Don't think I was coming down in it because it is different than mine. Sometimes, ours looks too sterile, like no one ever watches it or goes in the room.

BT freakin' W.....sell me that DJ5 in your signature! :D

I just might be able to use your help, actually. I prewired a speaker plate for the rear surrounds for when I upgraded to 7.1 channel sound, and now that I have the speakers, the exposed wiring leaves something to be desired. I haven't gone back and put the wiring behind the walls because it would be somewhat of a hassle. :(

You mean this one? :D
