This is the first iteration of surround sound in the new place. No room for floor standing speakers, and I'm still putting myself through college so that puts a limit on the amount of overhead for a big home theater. Most likely this will grow and change over the years, I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible. The bug does seem to catch on pretty quick, especially when you work in an electronics shop from time to time.
