Call this my “Robot Theater”.

My audiophile / home theater experience began 18 years ago with the purchase of Martin Logan Aerius followed by Hsu Subwoofers, all with a Sony receiver.

Today I have a dedicated 700-sq/ft home theater with the Aerius as my rear speakers.

No Voodoo here, just solid equipment for the enjoyment of music and video.

Wanted some sort of a movie theme for the room, so began collecting robots.

The main components are:


DIGITAL SOURCES
Sony CX90es
Monarchy Audio DIP
Sony DVPCX995V


PREAMP
Sony TAE-9000es

POWER AMP
Sunfire Signature Cinema Grand
HSU 190w Amp (2)


Cables
Monster, Better Cables, AudioQuest, etc,

Speakers
Martin Logan ReQuests – Front
NHT SC-1– Center
Martin Logan Aerius –Rear
Bag End – Infrasub 18 (2)
Hsu Subwoofer HRSW10 (2)

MSNTV2
Philips ProntoPro NG TSU7000
Robots – lots of robots

Welcome Dan. great meeting you yesterday.. Looks like a great system!!

 

[Cherian]

Nice system!!! I like your bartender. "Danger, Danger"

 

[grubbleDave]

Robots galore!!! Do they also help you switch CDs and move the speakers to their most optimal positions?

Nice to have that dedicated room...reminds me why I shouldn't move OUT of SF and into the southern or eastern areas and more sq footage.

 

[Webtv Dan]

Don’t know about moving speakers, but R2D2 has been known to bring me a beer.:cheers:

Good night! Is that a life size Robbie The Robot tending bar? I bet he mixes a mean margarita.

 

[Webtv Dan]

Yes, a life-size cardboard cutout Robbie. That picture is probably 5 years old – lots more robots behind the bar now – in addition to a rocket ship ****tail shaker and a picture of me as a Star Wars Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Home Theaters are fun!

 

[Cherian]

Just to be clear that is just "Robot" tending the bar. Robby the robot from Forbidden Planet is standing on the bar.
