    Everything looks great. The only thing I would change is surround placement. Since you live in an apartment that might not be possible.

    Sources: Harman Kardon DVD-27,
    Panasonic DMP-BDT110 blu ray player
    AVR: Sony STR-DA2400ES
    Amps: Sonance Sonamp 260(fronts),
    Kenwood KM-894(surrounds)
    Fronts: NHT 2.5

    Thanks everyone! I was able to finally get everything running thanks to all I have learned in this forum!

    Yes, I can´t place the surrounds behind, for now, space is limited and the couch is placed against the wall. I´ll experiment moving the mains a bit forward though. Fortunately I´ll be moving soon to a new place and I´ll have a dedicated room :D

    The rack is from Bush furniture, the series is called midnight mist. It´s a very solid piece, and looks very good! Bought it from Amazon, $200, but I reckon you can get it cheaper, http://www.amazon.com/Bush-Furniture-Midnight-Audio-Chrome/dp/B000W8JK5G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1282407071&sr=8-1 There is also a gray model.

    And yes, next step will be a turntable!!

    Great looking setup! I noticed your location is in Mexico. What type of power quality do you have there? Thanks for the link to the equipment rack. That is a nice looking piece of furniture.

    Bush midnight mist, around $200 from Amazon. Its around 22 inches deep, there is plenty of space and room to breath for the components.

    Well the power is 127 AC volts, 60Hz, but the quality is not so good, there are a lot of voltage fluctuations, thats why I got the Belkin PF60. Good thing is that this apartment has a very good electric installation with all the outlets properly grounded. It is actually difficult to find grounded outlets in residential installations around here.

    Well hate to kill the party but the sub placement is about the worst spot you might of picked think about somewhere where its not vibrating the gear and a bit away from the speaks.

    The New Acoustic Dimension gear is a winner

    Thanks :p I know is not the best position but the sound seems ok. I haven´t detected any vibration on the other gear or in the disc storage, just in the door and in some cupboards in the kitchen hehehehe.

    Will try to place the sub in the far corner to listen and see what happens.

    Very 'classy' set-up. Now you know why I don't take pics of my system--because most of you have these HGTV houses and interior decorators--or at least 'smarts'! lol

    Looks very nice LandShark, specially the arrangement of your furniture, looks comfy.

    I had to change everything from one wall to the other too, fortunately I´m single now hehehehe, hope to keep everything once I got married. Good thing is that my girlfriend appreciate movies and music as I do..hope that lasts :p

    BTW I´m very happy with my sub :p bit plan to add another one for music, perhaps a sealed epik or HSU, but that´s for later

    Thanks! The only thing I don't like is the placement of the center. It won't fit anywhere else and I would like to have it lower...I'd love to have an SVS but bought a new truck instead lol.
