another toy

finally, i bought this audio-video surround receiver (AVR) from denon! i've always dreamed of a professional audio set up to accompany the LED & blu ray. this avr is a good entry level, i was told. i love the way all my equipment will connect to this. i've connected the blu ray, 2 dvd players, vhs (yes i still have that), ipod and cable tv! and with just one HDMI cable, it goes to the LED TV. amazing! it's 7.1channel, with multi-zone capability (i can put two speakers in another room/zone. i can have music in that room while watching dvd in the bed/main room, all from one amplifier.

i'm waiting for the speakers to arrive. i bought dali front, center and a polk sudio sub. but for now, i've connected my old speakers and they're sounding great!

i designed the chest of drawers cum av cabinet myself. the avr sits on the middle shelf, the blu ray on top, dvd 1 on top of the vhs on shelf 1, the old dvd 2 on the last shelf. i dont have to leave the room no more...
