Here's my bedroom setup now...
Snell Type K/II speakers
Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp
Panasonic 310A dvd player
Motorola digital cable box
Panasonic 27" tv
Here's what I want to do!
M2i's wall mounted
27" LCD wall mounted
and move the gear into the wall.
Behind that entire wall is a walk-in closet, so all wiring could be done through that for a very clean setup. It would also provide extremely easy access to the back of all the components.
The idea is that it'll make the place look better, and add some value to the townhouse for what should be little expense. I already have all the gear except the TV. Moving the light switch, and cutting a hole in the wall and adding some nice in-wall shelving shouldn't cost too much...should it?
What say you good people?

I think it's a GREAT idea. Look at all the floor space you reclaim, and the "clean" look that results. Can't help on the cost part of it, but I don't think it would be horribly expensive.

Hey, aren't you the dude that told me to put MY equipment in my closet?
Dude, you got a thing for the look of custom installs? I sense a new career!
I think yours is a good idea! Are you thinking that you would basically have a hole in the wall with equipment on shelves behind the hole? If so, I don't think it will increase the value of the townhouse. I think it needs to be finished on the inside "walls" alongside the equipment.... Maybe a pro to do some sheetrock and a molding to match the closet doors?

Craig, I think that's a great idea, and I think you can and should do the work yourself. This is not a very high risk project since you can hide any mistakes in the closet.
Do the switches go to the closet lights or room lights?
Do what Mark said about the molding; trim to match the closets.
Cool Project! I like it!

Hey, Craig, why not invite everyone and make it a beer tasting party... THEN we'll get to the sledgehammers!

Those two switches in the before picture are to lights in the closet.
I'd definately want it to look clean and finished. Like it was meant to be in the room that way, rather than I poked a hole in the wall to save space in the room. If it doesn't look right, it'll actually lower the value of my place!

I like the idea of the doors, but I can just see a non-audio person coming in later and going, "What the heck was this for? Who knows...."
That sort of thing always seems to happen...
