Hi All --

A quick update -- Welded equipment racks and speaker hangers are back from powder coat, and installed, so we are watching movies with 9.2 surround! We are *loving* the 3D on the Sony HW40ES.

Here are a few pics:

First is the theater screen view, with the height, surround, and rear speaker mounts visible. New projector is also in view.



Next is the equipment rack:



That little guy post-mounted on top is a 1:1 scale replica of the studio prop from A New Hope, 32" long, by Master Replicas.

Here's a detail view:



Still "ToDo": Sew silver silk covers for the rockwool type bass absorbers positioned in corners. Sew silver silk curtain (wife is handling all of the stitch work wink ), and install curtain rail. Finish installing under-cabinet lighting, and move collectibles onto the shelves. Connect ducting into the main A/C system (may have a professional do this, but am holding off for expense reasons).

PS -- Thanks Ian for some really great customer service, resolving an issue with shipping damage on one of the QS8's -- "Above and Beyond". cool
