Where'd you get that shelving? Looks a bit better than Ikea. I might be in the market for something very similar soon enough. That's a very attractive picture you've taken for some reason :)

I think this is it:

It doesn't say they have it in-store on the website, but they do have it in-store in at least two of the Targets around where I live.

Haha, but speakers would be so much nicer :3:

Any tips for cable management? I'm not messy, just don't know how to deal with them.

You can get a 50-pack of velcro fasteners (like zip ties, but reusable!) at Home Depot for a few bucks. That's a good start :P

Wrap power cables in one bundle, A/V source cables in another.

Nah, it's got all the basic stuff you'd expect. I love this thing, cost me a whopping 35 bucks. (Technics SA-EX140 for the curious)


I got the same receiver on Craigslist for the same price for my computer speakers. What are the odds?

Do they make stands to put to the side of TVs to host all the peripherals (Xbox 360, DVD player, receiver, etc)? I like the look of glass TV stands, so something fancy looking like that would be sweet.

You'd be looking for an "audio pier" or "component rack."

This might fit your description: Target - Phase Audio Pier

Place is still a mess; handling a full house on your own = pain in the rear end.

Next up is a fair of floorstanding speakers and a 55" LCD. Or something. I dont really know for sure, the Dana 630's sound awesome already.

Hey Panasonic XR55 buddy. That was a great receiver in its day.

Can you tell me what the company and model name of the white cable hider thing you have going to your TV?

I need something similar for my new AV setup.

I saw something like that at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-4-Cable-Concealer/14913293

Not great compared to some of the setups here, but I thought I would share anyway...

Actually I'm moving out of the country soon, so a lot of that stuff is getting sold or stored, and I'll get to build a new setup :haw:

That improvised soundbar is probably better than most actual soundbars, though it looks like you had enough room to put them on their own stands.
