Lou's Now Defunct Stereo Rig

[1_sufferin_mind]

This was the culmination of a life's work, and my first foray into room treatments. Please believe me when I say they were required for that room. Sadly, the space is being returned to normal living room duties.

Those speakers look like they should have tracks on them and be roaming around in a Star Wars movie.

What on earth are they?

Revel Ultima Salons, and the sound awesome.

Lou that room was great and I wish you could have kept it for home theater but we all must understand that on occasion living in the home is important as well.

Jack's right - Revel Ultima Salons. The tracks are in storage.

You're spot-on, of course.
My wife is an amazing woman for having endured serious encroachment on normal living throughout our home! Hopefully, we'll find a new home with a room big enough for all my toys. Until then, I can still have fun putting together a second HT system in the living room. And I'd like to move some of the stereo into the multi-channel system.

I think a lot of us can say that. Here's a toast to the wives! ;-)

Great pics, btw (and I agree with Jim... those speakers look like robots!)
