My current system looks like this:
- Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 L/R mains
- B&W 600 series center(the one w/black
drivers)
- RA Labs(RDL Acoustics) Micromonitors for
the surrounds mounted on homemade 5 ft.
oak stands
- PSB Subsonic 3 subwoofer
- Outlaw 1050 receiver
- Pioneer 563a DVD/SACD/DVD-A player
- Pioneer 985(?) LaserDisc combi-player
- Toshiba Hi-Fi VCR
- Yamaha CDC-715 CD changer(similar to
Gonk's old one)
- JVC 20" TV #AV-20D304 picked up used to
replace broken 27" Panny.

I run Taralabs Prism 2+2 speaker wire for the mains, Apeture wire for the center, and some generic 18Ga. wire for the surrounds. My sub is linked up using a Soundstream stereo patch cord, Y'd to the 1050's LFE. I just recently replaced my mish-mash component video hookup with RCA Digital series component cables from The Home Depot. I wish I could utilize the 1050's 6.1 processing, but room constraints (and WAF)won't allow it. My system, like a lot of us out there, is a constant work-in-progress.
