Russell.Williams Big Telly
I've finally got off my fat arse in order to put some piccies up.
Some of the images may have a slightly odd perspective. It's because I use a photo stitching program to create Quicktime VR 360deg panoramas. A happy offshoot of this is that you can select areas of the panorama and flatten it into a rectangular image, hence the distortion. The entire QTVR is stitched from a total of 20 images.
***EDIT***
If it's of interest to anyone, the 360deg Quicktime panorama now available to view here. Give it time to load, it's 6mb.
Kit List
-Screenplay 7205 shining on an 88" Carada Criterion screen.
-Toshiba 32WLT66
-Michell Syncro with Rega RB250 and Audio Technica AT-OC9 moving coil cartridge.
-NVA MC two box phono stage and PSU.
-Denon DVD-3910.
-Sky HD
-Apple iPod 4th gen - the audiophiles choice. 
-Denon AVR-3806
-Velodyne SMS-1
-PMC GB1 main speakers
-PMC TB2M-C center speaker
-M&K Xenon LCR-25 tripole surrounds
-Mark Grant interconnects
-Van Damme Blue Series speaker cable
Oh! And a BK Monolith DF sub, incase you didn't already know. 
<EDIT 13/07/08> Compare and contrast with post #111.
The Rack:
Room views. Front:
Front right:
Right:
Back:
And finally a composite image of room with lights on and screen with light off, and yes, I know it needs updating:
Apart from hanging the screen level and running four sets of cables for the surrounds, it's been a mercifully DIY free setup. The eagle eyed will spot the lack of rear surrounds, which were disguarded when I chose to biamp the main front speakers. The tripoles give such a good spread, bouncing sound off the front, rear and opposite walls, I don't miss the rears. But the cables are still there. Just in case.
Arriving later this week, a Vogels EFF 1140 LCD and center speaker stand. That should just about finish things off. Until the next thing I think of.

Beatiful mate. Love the colour and the neat layout!

re: Russell.Williams Big Telly
This might sound stupid, but is anybody else having trouble viewing the images?
Sometimes they're there, somtimes they're not. Pesky Photobox!
Anybody who knows more about pooters than me, please respond. 
In the mean time I'll repost them as links and see if that holds up.

re: Russell.Williams Big Telly
Lovely looking room Russ.
I've finally got around to bi-amping my fronts with my 3806 after reading your earlier thread, really impressed with the difference (My Mum even noticed somthing was different, so it must be an improvement ).
What are your thoughts on the Carada screen? I'm considering going for one for my new install, as I won't need a retractible screen in the new room.

re: Russell.Williams Big Telly
Verry nice Russ, love the speakers.
Dose that sheet of wood you have the monolith standing on make any difference to the sound quality. I remember reading the thread where you made it, but cant remember your comments on SQ. As i might have to experiment with positioning when i get mine that might make it easyer to move around. Yours is the same colour i am thinking of as well, and the finnish looks exelent

I think I might have covered that in the second paragraph beginning "Some of the images may have a slightly odd perspective......"

Now that is good news.
The pictures distort it into looking even bigger than it actually is too.
