Dude, I think "it" just moved! That is a *seriously* nice-looking (and, I bet, sounding) system!! Makes mine look like a boombox in comparison...

Very nice indeed! Is this an all new setup? Or have you had most of the components in your system for awhile now and just recently built the room.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Wow, thanks for all the positive comments. This room has been a work in progress for the last 6 years. All of the gear, except my SVS serial killer, is less than two years old. I've had several components over the last 30 years, so this has been a long journey. In the past, I've had power amps were from Rotel, Denon and Quad.

Behind the front curtains is actually a 3 foot corridor where I channel my cables out of sight and set up my sub.

I also installed four dedicated electrical circuits in there, two 20A circuits for the power amps, one 15A for the rest of the gear and another 15A for the 3 zone X10 RF lighting system. When I had the house built, my main electrical box was hooked up directly to the utility company's transformer, outside in my back yard, so I've got some very clean power coming in.

I assume the acoustic panels are DIY? If so, I would be interested to know more about how you built them. It would be a great thread in the DIY section. They look great!

Great looking setup! Those Swans are stunning and I bet sound even better! I must say I thought I'd seen most of SVS's subs but that is a first time for me on the "serial killer".
