    Looks good! (albeit this compliment is coming from someone with zero aesthetic sense :p )

    I particularly like the wall color!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    *NOTE* There is a MONEY PIT found directly between the SDA's.... I find it somewhat appropriate lol....

    Maybe it's just an optical illusion, but the TV looks to be mounted a little high up on the wall for my taste.

    @SCompRacer: David Tenant and either Rose Tyler or Clara Oswald (though they weren’t in the series at the same time), although Amy Pond gets honorable mention

    Yeah it is, but that’s so if I get a bigger TV it will still fit centered on the wall. The plan is to eventually get a ~50-60” in the coming years. Prob a Visio or Insignia model.... or get a better TV downstairs and move my Panasonic upstairs.

    The mount also comes out and tilts down too so you can get it closer.

    Tom Baker rules.....Netflix used to carry all the vintages episodea until a couple of years ago. Some local PBS stations still carry the old ones though. I wont even start the whole female Dr Who debate on here.....
