Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Custom entertainment center

Because I am so envious of it, I thought I would show off my Parents' custom entertainment center. (Jack has already seen it)

You can see the center channel sitting by itself in the left corner of the room, a STF-2 for the time being in the right corner. The 27" TV will be replaced by either a 50" or 60" DLP/LCD/LCoS type unit. The antenna on top looks tacky, but that is for a wireless microphone system...karaoke. That is my old HK525 in the entertainment center. Not finished yet, but it is getting there...I have fun playing music when I am at the house.

SUPER COOL!!!
How much did that set them back?
That would look great in house.

My Father worked with a company in downtown LA on the design....which is actually a modification of something they had on display. Anyways...delivered, it was $2800.

Curtis has infected his own parents with the quality audio/video bug. It's a cruel thing for a loving son to do. Can upgrade-itis be far behind?

hehehe...actually, my Dad is the one that infected me in the 70's....and then with three active boys, he did not have time anymore.

They had been thinking about re-doing the livingroom for a long time, and finally my Mom said...."just do it". So they got rid of the old stereo equipment. Dad wanted speakers like mine, my HK525 was fine for them after I upgraded, and the STF-2 I got used(was going to use it in future for a small setup). If I get a new maple VTF-3MK2, I will give them my old VTF-3.

They have been looking at TVs for the past 5 months. That purchase will give a boost to my upgradeitis.

My Mom says "We are spending your's and your brothers' inheritance." I told them to go right ahead...they deserve it.

Bravo! As sole caregiver for my 92 year old mother (happy birthday, Mom), IMHO, you have things in their proper perspective.

Jack:

Is today your mom's birthday? If it is Happy Birthday to your mom bud!

92 huh, wow that's awesome. Hell I'll be lucky if I see 50.

It was yesteday, the 25th, but thank you just the same. Yes, both she, and I, are awed that she lived this long.

The things she has seen in her life. WW I, radio, the proliferation of the automobile and the rise of commercial flight, the depression, WW II, television, man on the moon, computers. Holy Cats! What a ride!

Thanks again, Kurt.

That maple sure is pretty. Is the thing solid maple?

Looks like MA Silver 8s for fronts, eh?

I hope they get a black TV.
