With all the bleek electronics hidden in the basement, all you see is visual and aural stimulation - I have not seen a 5.1 setup that is so formidable yet out-of-the-way, allowing the room to be a gathering place for family and friends. A computer with 470GB of disk space feeds an unlimited number of photos and music files between movies. I made the aluminum plasma frame myself, to match the speakers. The center channel is actually hung from the plasma mount, preventing one more set of holes in the wall! Lots of twekas herel See my other pics in my profile!
