Your receiver is the size of a microwave oven and won't fit inside your rack.

Just picked up an Onkyo TX-NR818 to go with my new display.

Cheers to my fellow audio and videophiles.

Yikes! Is bigger better these days?

Brunotheboxer · 7 February 2013, 02:45 AM

Bigger is always better except for one thing which I won't mention.

That's a great unit with the Room calibration features. I hope you got an excellent price. Rumor is today at b&h it's $599 if you call them.

here's what my current setup looks like...i love the new tech available for Movies, TV and music!

Nice.
I got a great deal. Not as good as b&h if its a true deal but pretty close with next day shipping for free. Btw make sure your gear can breath in that enclosed stand.

Here's my set up with old yamaha receiver.

By the way I too love avs.

PS, probably my own pet peeve so please excuse me, but a tiny piece of advice is to cover that LED on the TV or perhaps it's something reflecting near it

I used some led dimmers I learned about on another forum on the peachtree unit pictured. they are really bright blue without the silver dimmers over them. I put electrical tape on the PC power light so it can't be seen.

No you are right. Panasonic uses that red led light and it can reflect off the glass shelf.

last summer I started integrating a small home theater pc into the mix (it's the little black box in the photo above the integrated amp)

It took a lot of work to get just right, but it's pretty incredible what the software is capable of. I ended up with Jriver, but many like XBMC.
