i was sitting in front of my h/t last night watching "Cars" on Blu-Ray with my 10 year old son, when he said 'wow Dad! this is better than the movies!....lol...it kinda made me feel good knowing I havent spent a ton of money on my system but have gotten a lot of good advice from this forum even before I joined. Its mind boggling to read all the different opinions on h/t and see all the different systems on here. I look forward to upgrades and learning more from this forum....thanks to everyone who has helped! (F1 Nut & Keiko..just to name a couple). Thanks!

My VERY humble system:

Pioneer VSX D411 Reciever
Cerwin Vega VE 5C center channel
pioneer speakers front- SH253BK
Polk Audio rear speakers- R-150
Sony 8" sub- SAWM20 100watt- not enough bass for me though(will be replaced soon)
Maganavox NB500MG9 Blu-Ray
Siemens 500 gig dvr
Monster HDP1800 power management
Panasonic 42" plasma
Xbox 360
Polk Audio Surround Bar 360
Mirage PS-12
LG BDP-550
Motorola HD FIOS DVR
Panasonic 42" Plasma
XBOX 360[/SIZE]

Office stuff

Allied 395 receiver
Pioneer CDP PD-M430
RT8t's & Wharfedale Diamond II's[/SIZE]

As for that damn bug, it will bite you sooner than you think if you hang around here long enough. I have only been here about 4 months and I am already trying to talk the wife into adding more, lol.

    x3...lol

    I've been around here for 4-5 months now...and the projected budget for my home theater has went from about 800ish dollars to upwards of 2000 dollars...:eek:

    Like others have said already...as long as your system makes you happy, that's what matters. Upgradeitis will be hitting before you know it though...you'll never be done with it...it's always just "ok...so what do I add next?"...lol
