    ROTFLMAO! What a moron. How can he get surround sound when all the speakers are in the front. Not to mention, those tiny speakers must sound like $hit!

    And that looks like one of Sony's LCD from 5 years ago, not 2-3 or plasma. That sound system is about as old too. Maybe older. ****!! It looks like some of the geek squad installs I've seen around here because people won't buy longer cables to make it look nicer and they don't maintain wires.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    before making fun of the guy, think a bit. maybe his room does not allow for a true 5.1 setup. maybe speaker cables are not long enough. maybe the speakers were gifted to him from someone special so he doesn't want to sell them though they're crappy. or maybe he knew the setup is crappy so he took a picture and posted on the web for jokes..

    no need to call/imply him/her a moron.

    Maybe he has all of those running into the center channel and has his surrounds where you can't see them?
    Still, a bad idea... but it makes more sense...

    ? Polk RTA 11TL's (FR and FL)
    ? Polk TSi200's (RR and RL)
    ? Polk CS10 (Center)

    no i meant "premature." you can look it up on dictionary.com but basically you can't just conclude on the guy's inability to set up the surround speakers unless you have all the information. here we don't.

    Don't get mad I made a cheap joke at your expense, **** cat. I haven't said what I think about this system, so evidently your superior "thinking department" is still on Christmas break. When it gets back to full speed try removing your head from your ****, too, I hear it does wonders.

    Sony was never really known for their plasmas but there were actually a few that looked like that.

    I'm sorry, who are you? You would think that someeone so superior in the 'thinking department' would at least know basic grammar - you're supposed to start sentences with an UPPER CASE letter, you big dummy.
