No Smith, I don't like 'em. It is a Keys Fitness Power Cage. The safety bars are very easy to slide up and down which makes a smith machine not required. I find the Smith machines just make you move through a range of motion that isn't your natural movement. There are a couple of full floating(top and botom pivots slide forward or backward) smith machines out there, but to me that makes them no different than a power cage. The safety bars have to be in place to use them in full floating mode and that isn't any different than a power cage.

If you are really interested in something like this and can afford a higher priced unit there are some true powerlifting cages that are really nice.

The Keys product is very well built and was half as much\:\) and it was just short enough to fit into my basement but tall enough I don't have to sit on the floor to do chins\:D

PowerTec makes a Squat Stand that has a chin bar across the top and a lat tower attachment but I found the safety bars were to short and I really had to concentrate on my positioning otherwise I could miss them.

Khan,

Two 500s are the way to go in a room like that. All your friends and loved ones will be envious \:\) .

In a room like that, one 500 will make the room shake, 2 will just make it fall apart from both sides at the same time.\:\)

For the price of two 500s I would take a look at the ED A7-900.

That looks like a monster sub with all the advantages and disadvantages. \:\) I haven't heard one yet but with 2 18" drivers, a 1300w amp outputting 129db I'm sure it would shake the house with deep bass. \:D But even in my WAF friendly home a 435lb sub 49"x26"x26.5" would raise eyebrows. Tough to say whether or not it would sound better than 2 DSP controlled 500s.

I also recommend an upgrade for the exercise equipment as well.;\)

This is what I have behind my HT room and it doesn't take up that much more room.

That gym seems to have a very high level of CHQ. What's CHQ you ask? Coat Hanging Quotient! Almost every home gym that I know of will (eventually) just have coats hanging on it!

Jason, Where do you buy home gyms like that in Canada? Ideally in Ontario. \:\)
