Your 'Entertainment' Center

Skip · 11-26-2002, 04:32 PM

I hope this isn't stretching the boundaries of this forum too far, but I am curious as to what your primary entertainment center consists of ... i.e. TV, stereo, sound, DVD, VHS, etc. etc.

I ask because after months of shopping I just dropped a load (Merry Xmas) on a 51" Hitachi HDTV, Onkyo amp/receiver/progressive scan DVD, and Polk home theatre speakers.

My wife and I figured that since we're 40 (her tomorrow) we could finally upgrade past the 27" TV we've had for the past 10 years.

Very nice. I have the old reliable 27" TV that I have had for ten years. I don't have a lot of space to upgrade.

I play DVDs off of my Playstation2 and I have a fairly nice Paradigm speaker setup for sound.

Semi-retro.

Two McIntosh mono tube amps (@1973) and four JBL Studio Monitor speakers I've had since new, with a cheap JVC tuner and cd-player and a decent Thorens turntable. Proscan 27" TV and VCR and a beat-up old Super NES.

No lava lamp.

TV
digital cable.......that I have a hard time turning on
a stereo that I have never turned on
vcr that I have never ran

pretty pathetic...........my family turns on the game and I am happy!

I always have the game on in the bathroom and listen on the radio and it is also on in the kitchen. In the bedroom is either the Mets or the Yankees. My family gets the TV the rest of the time.
