Nice setup there. Where do you keep your equipment? And what device do you use for the movie library?

All the equipment is in a 19inch rack built into the wall. You can see it on the left hand wall.

The movies are played on a Popcorn Hour A200 running YAMJ user interface.

Ah yes, very neat looking. Are the movies Blu ray or DVD?

The amp is a pioneer SCLX 81 - real powerhouse . Have it about 2 and a half years now and I still love it.

The fronts and rears are both Bowers and Wilkins. The fronts are CM7 and the rears are M1 from the MT30 system I used to have. They look quite small in the photo but that doesnt do them justice. Being both B&W they use the same driver technology so they blend in well. Quite a few of the AV shops I demoed in use the M1's as rears.

MD what are the dimentions of this room? I am in the process of converting my attic and am told it will be 16/18ft long by 13/14ft wide with a height of 8ft in the center. Also what size is your screen?

i presume your whole house reverberates when that system is turned up, as you have a lot of thin walls around it, ie plasterboard as opposed to block walls, if it was in a groundfloor area

I sold the popcorn hour last month. While its compatible with every file format you throw at it, i found it very buggy with a crap frontend. Adding to the library is a pain also. I changed to an atv2 which is jailbroken and has firecore atv flash installed. No Hd audio but i can live with that as i still have the bluray player.

I do have access to the rear of the rack via an access hatch in another room. Toying with the idea of expanding into this room
