05/01/08: A small and simple system. I accomplished my goal to use regular "fi" equipment to achieve a very pleasurable, resolving and natural HT system for the living room. It is very versatile as I use it for parties, to watch TV and movies, casual 2-channel music and Nintendo Wii. The key here was smart cable and equipment choices. I have all this equipment carefully installed into a TV armoire and is entirely hidden. Except for the rear channels which are very inconspicuous.
11/11/11: The system has been totally dismantled and is being redesigned with new technology and a better media rack. Also, installing a new and better gaming system. Xbox 360 with kinnect. Pictures and equiment will be posted soon!
TOTAL SAVINGS ON RETAIL ON ENTIRE SYSTEM APPROX: 45%
02/04/09: Upgraded to Morrow SP1 speaker cables all around. Huge improvement in dynamics, clarity, soundstage and transparency. Also, upgraded the rear channel speaker stands to something more stable. To improve clarity in the rear channels.
12/01/09: Installed a brand new and recently released Harman Kardon AVR 3600 with the latest Dolby Volume feature and lots of other fun features to try. Also had upgradable software via USB Flash Drive.
12/17/09: Installed the new Sony 32 inch 1080p LCD TV and also the Oppo Blue Ray Player. Now I know what I have been missing with 1080p and Blue-Ray. Can't wait to start renting and buying up Blue Ray discs.
06/24/10: I'm very happy with this system now for a while. Constantly looking for overachieving cables and equipment and I have successively achieved my goals.
8/28/10: Upgraded the firmware in the Harmon Kardon AVR 3600. A great improvement in the interface and the whole system runs smoother. Also, added compatibility for HDMI Version 1.4a including 3D TV. WOW! It brought this receiver up to date. I still think this is one of the best bargains on the web.
4/04/11: Installed and upgraded to a Oppo BDP-95 Universal Player
