Mark; Is that the sui 4 channel unit I see lit up. Looks like you got your 9090db looking purdy to. The rumpus room is looking good. Brianbig1daddy said:

< speakerlab 7's
I moved last month to a house with a finished basement + a small "bonus room". The previous owner enclosed the backyard patio as an added bedroom with skylight. The floor is still the pebbled-concrete patio with carpet remnants over the top, and the interior door is the former back-door. Still setting things up in there now that my Speakerlab Super 7's are back from the shop after being re-edged. It's small but private from the rest of the house for belting out the tunes. 
Throw in a nice free sofa found through craigslist and its a hangout. :thmbsp:

Some VERY nice rigs guys:thmbsp:
My contribution:
As you can see, it's not even properly set up in a dedicated room. There is a serious lack of racks, but on the bright side, the rig is capable of some truly glorious sound. It's simply surprising how good it sounds even without any fancy tweaking apart from careful speaker positioning. The soundstage is deep, wide, realistic, three-dimensional; the highs are sparkling clear, extends well; the mids are sweet, detailed, musical and the bass is deep and pretty well controlled.
Even though the speakers are at different distances from the side walls, the balance is still pretty bang in the middle. This is something I didn't expect. I'm thinking of placing three slabs of granite underneath the amps/CDP or three separate pre-fabricated isolation platforms. The room is well damped and there is no "cave-effect" even though the ceiling is high.
Will post better pictures when I have more time.
I also have an uncle with a pretty sweet rig too. If you don't mind, I'm going to post a picture of his rig too
I believe those are Apogee Mini-Stage or Stage. I'm no Apogee expert, so I might be wrong
He's using his Sony ES-range multichannel amp to bi-amp and bi-wire in combination with the Pathos. It's all so complex that I don't think I really understood when he explained it to me
Also have a friend with a Burmester Rondo line system, but haven't had the opportunity to take photos. It's absolutely gorgeous. Maybe next time.

My Room
Ok, as you can see from the first picture, I have been working on my OCD. The TT is under the cloth, it keeps my cat from jumping on it.
The second picture is of the back. I have a modified rule of thirds kind of setup. That is where I started and moved the speakers and seat a little.
Not the clean setup of the rest of the group. And now I feel I need some red pepper Christmas lights for the book shelves!

My Mancave.
This is my single car garage that I have converted in to the neighborhood mancave. I live in a cul-de-sac and am good friends with just about everyone here. We all have families with multipule children. I decided we men need a place to get away from everyone so I built this room for us. Every guy in the neighborhood has a key.
It's also my work shop, so excuse the bench and tool chest. It just adds to the coolness of the room I think.
