Little help. I am looking for some real nice Home theater furniture to go with my Pioneer Elite 510 and my audio stuff. I am not looking for steel and glass and I do not want a bridge system. I have 7 components and need DVD CD and VHS storage. Thanks

Dan, if you have the room (pun intended), go for the built-in look. I'm suggesting a false wall that has the equipment flush mounted, perhaps with custom-framed openings, in-wall speakers, etc.

I agree with Larry, the built in look is best. Of course, if you built your own, you probably wouldntspendtoomuch. Here's the in-wall setup I built. Total cost was about $75 [Link: thecitycinema.com]

2 questions -
1/ The idea of the false wall thing really appeals to me, and I would like to design my front wall like this to hold the stereo rack, the tv and the speakers etc. The only thing that worries me is that I already have floor standing speakers, and if I put these into a cavity in the wall, would it effect the sound? They are ported at the back as well.
2/ Steve13 or anyone else - The flagship yamaha recievers have multi-room distribution, which includes an IR in, and IR out on the reciever. What is the best way to implement these? All I want to do is to be able to control the dvd, cd changer and possibly satellite box remotely from the bedroom. Does anyone know what kind of IR reciever and emitters are needed? What is the best way to get the video and audio to the bedroom? Left channel, right channel and video on separate coax?
Cheers, Cammo

Cammo- The easiest way to distribute A/V is via a modulator, such as Channelvision or ChannelPlus. They simply add new "channels" to your cable system. Here's a link that explains how to do it. [Link: channelplus.com]You can distribute the IR over the coax also. Check out Xantech.com. Or, if you can handle the wiring, the best way to go is to do a hardwired IR system like this.

Dan, If you want a nice piece of furniture, look at www.hookerfurniture.com . If you really want to be the guy who spends WAY too much money on this stuff, try www.diamondcase.com for the ultimate in home theater furniture.
