My HT setup is finished. I removed the cabinet doors because the vent fans couldn't keep up with the heat generated by the MX151.

Here is mine, still fine tuning the layout, but very happy with the Macstack.

Nice. How far apart are the speakers? How do you like the C220?

Dan - I like the look of your living room system. What brand of rack do you have?

They are approx 1.8m / 6 feet apart. Unfortunately my space is limited and I have to work with what I have.

C220 is great, just changed to Gold Lion tunes from stock, awesome sound. I demoed in-home demoed the C2300 earlier in the week and could not hear any improvement/difference over the C220.

I didn't test using phono as I don't use that feature.

I had a 5 channel amp (MC205) driving my center and rears. I recently upgraded to an MC301 for the center, and a MC152 for the rears. Autoformers all the way around now. The improvement has been quite nice.

Also, upgraded rear channel cables earlier this year. And got a new LED projector (Runco Q750i). Lampless projector. Excellent picture and no hot bulb to replace.
