Sam's First Attempt

This is my first real attempt at a home cinema set-up. Ive been inspired by seeing all the great examples on here. It is in my bedroom, as I still live at home, as you can see in one of the photo is my sink!

Would be great to get some feedback. Also if you have any questions about my room i'd be only to happy to answer them.

Re: Sam's First Attempt

Thanks. The cable to the front speakers and TV is chased into the wall. For the rear speakers the cables for them went underneath the carpet and then inside the tubing on the speaker stands.

Thanks for your comments.

Re: Sam's First Attempt

That is a wonderful set up, so neat and tidy and nice to look at too.

Is that your sub in that cabinet/stand? if it is take it out to get a better sound in your bass.

Well done

Re: Sam's First Attempt

Thanks for the nice comments. The only reason i keep the sub in the cabinent is due the the size of it. It the only place I can put it really.
