    Looks good slowcar. Love the lighting, the only thing to do is just a tad bit of cable management.

    Very, Very nice. In all honesty, did you notice any difference with the better surge and adding the ups? (still deciding what to add to my system)

    Michael

    absolutely no difference at all. :o

    i guess the only time i know if they work as claimed is when a lightning strike or a brownout or something...

    Nice set up BTW. I surprised no one mentioned with all that work he should think of replacing those jumpers.

    are the ones that come with the speakers too resistive?

    subs beside each of the main speaker pretty much took care of the standing wave issues in the 20' x 20' x 8.5' room - but somehow, the system did not sound exciting (could not feel the bass). So i moved the subs individually or as a stacked pair around the room, exhausted every possible combination of placement...and ended up with stacked infront of the doorway. I'm very happy with the results of the addition of the 2nd sub - they are fast, reproduces what ever bass there is in the audio stream with gusto.

    Is that a Belkin PF60 you're using? Do you have your amp hooked up to the high-current outlet in the back? I'm seriously considering picking up one of these to replace my barebones Belkin surge protector

    Wow, looking good slow. I actually grabbed some cable channels at Lowes a while back, and was really impressed with how much better they look than loose wire. Easy to install, and would definitely kick the look of your setup up another notch!
