Well Randy, there've been a few occasions where I've felt an obligation to give "legal advice" on the board, for example in this thread on cables .

Well, thanks for all of the replies, I think...

Actually the time it took to finish the room was about 4 months. It would have been about a month earlier but I was waiting for the Pioneer Elite vsx-84txsi to come in stock. BTW, this receiver is absolutely stunning with the Axiom Epic 80 system. I would need to give each one of you a demo for it to take full effect, but my opinion stands. I am open to anyone who wants to demo my room. You just have to eat some candy from the candy counter.

I am wondering it will look better to put oak around the touchscreen instead of the current black bezel. What do you all think...

SWWEEETTT!!

As much as I like wood, I’d still say to stick with the black. It looks professional and I think rapping it in oak wouldn’t look right.

What are the room dimensions?
What type of screen did you go with?
Is your projector a 900?
Any junior mints in that candy bin?

Man I’d sure like some of them chairs, but my lil lady wouldn’t go for that. She has proclaimed that I am her pillow and that arrangement works out well. She gets to lounge on me, and I don’t have to reach for my drink.

The original room was 26x15. I made my owwn custom BOC screen from about $50 worth of materials and i have never wanted to change. It just works great. The projector is a Japanese Panny ThAE700. I am going to be upgrading soon to the Mits HC500 or the Sony Pearl. I NEED 1080P!
I have a couple types of Junior mints. The original, the new inside outs and then now there is also a holiday edition with the taste similar to the inside outs. My personal favorite is still the original.
