My setup with dual M&K subs!

A pretty simple setup really. The gear list is as follows:

M&K MX-125 subwoofers
Kef KHT9000 ACE speakers
Sony STRDB940 Receiver
Velodyne SMS-1 (currently out of action)
Sony PS3
Humax 9200T Freeview recorder
Kensington IPod dock and 80GB IPod
Samsung LE40M87BDX 40" LCD TV

I've set it all up on Ikea Besta units which are quite customizable when it comes to fitting the gear in. The subs are the latest addition and the bass is nothing short of breathtaking. I watched a bit of Transformers last night and some of the scenes literally had the sofa shaking. Definitely a good investment!

P.S. You'll have to excuse the dodgy trunking for the rear speakers. I'm not proud of it!

It's a folded up snare drum stand. The rest of my money goes on drum kits .

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I'm actually at a point now where I don't need to buy any more AV stuff... well... except maybe a bigger TV and more amps

These with additional doors and drawer. The whole lot was about £120 and they are completely customisable which is useful when fitting in new gear. For instance, I used to have three cupboard doors, but switched the middle one out for a drawer in order to fit in the large centre speaker.
