Absolutely gorgeous Bray ... and the system ain't half bad either!

Man you really made a beautiful place look even better, I love what you have done, congrats Bray. What TV is that, Mitsubishi? If so, how are you liking it so far?

Very nice indeed, I sure would like to get a new big ass tv. It sure isn't going to happen any time soon though .

Good looking room Bray.

Somebody's been shopping at Ikea.

Funny, I just bought one of the 'Storm' floor standing lamps this weekend and it looks quite sharp next to my M80's.

Wait a minute. Did you get a bigger TV?

Very nice improvement!

Very nice! Too bad you had to downgrade to such tiny casters, though.

Bray,

First class!

I hope you didn't have to hock the guitar that is missing in your "after" photo.

What a change of view! Nice job, Bray. Your room looks awesome. Did you have to move your seat back at all?

Thanks for the compliments guys!
The TV is a Mits 57 inch and no I didnt move my seat back.
I'm about 10 feet from the screen and that seems about right.
Didnt get rid of any guitars although I probably need to.

The TV stand and shelf above are temporary. I have a buddy thats going to build something custom to more closely match the Heywood Wakefield furniture I've been collecting for 20 years.

I miss the Beatles, but media storage is a "must have." You did a wonderful job, Brady. One of the best looking rooms, IMHO.

As someone that often switches displays (and sometimes has to revert to an old 27" JVC ), after a month or so, hook up your old TV just to compare. You'll wonder how you ever saw anything through that porthole!

Very nicely done!

Bray - Picture looks great. Just wondering how you are supporting the Center Channel above the TV. I am assuming that the TV is too narrow to sit the CC on.

Thanks in advance for the information.
