We've had threads about your dream 2 channel setup, but what would your dream HT setup be?

Just speakers, subs and electronics. We're not talking room treatments, posters, popcorn machines, that sort of junk.

Let's have it.

    I hope you jest in your statement. Saying that room treatments fall in the junk catagory is just obsurd. Without proper room treatments, you have no clue how your speakers & gear really sound. When putting a room together room treatments should be #uno on your list. Then the other less important stuff follows.

    I'm not saying that room treatments are junk, I was just hoping this discussion could more or less focus on the speakers and electronics.

    Thats all.

    For me it would be B&W 802Ds, with matching center, surrounds. I had a chance to demo them 2 days ago here in Japan. A drop dead gorgeous speaker, I just dont know if I need to spend the coin to buy them. Other than that, I just bought the JVC HD1, I would go with the Adcom 7807, for me Im close to living the dream. Maybe a lexicon pre/pro or something similar and of course 126 inch screen.

    Right now for me it wouldn't be the speakers as much as the perfect/dream room set up. The right chairs,lighting and the proper panels around the room. I'm pretty happy with what I have except I would want a bigger screen.

    very nice system there but i dont think that I would pony up the money (even if i had it) for the center and rears. I think that I would put my cash into the fronts and the electronics and the room (and buy a bigger TV!)

    LSI'15's, LSIC, LSIfx. Sunfire prepro with my Sunfire amp. I'd keep my Rotel CD player. I'd get an updated DVD player but I don't know which brand. But it would have to do both SACD/DVDA's.

    I would get a new sub, but again I don't know which one. I don't think I want an SVS, I would want one that would blend better with music. SVS's tend to overwhelm.

    This is all presupposing that I had a bigger space to put everything in so that once I set it up it would just stay put. Or if I had to switch something I would have enough space to walk behind everything.

    So speaking of perfect gear, as I build the Reel Time Theater, I am considering a projector and screen. Or maybe not, 16 ft room by 14 8" wide.
