Re rats nests of wiring...I am absolutely a legend among my guy friends for this. Back a few years when VCRs were still used, I had a VCR die and had to replace it. The power cord was so entangled in the huge knot of wires that instead of pulling it out, I actually opened the old VCR, unplugged the power cord from the PC board, opened the new VCR, unplugged it's cord from the PC board and replaced it with the old power cord, which was still inextricably entwined with the rats nest, and shoved the new VCR back in the old one's slot. Hah! Take that Gordian Knot! I felt like Alexander!

Geez, this thread sure has evolved from "show your B&O" at the beginning to "who has a room fit for a magazine". Poor 7k and Pentas LOL.

I love seeing the older equipment setups and how people mix and match as much as the designer spaces. Just me I guess.

you see the true terror 😎  Have a look.

For those who care, here is what you see in random order: BeoLink NL/ML, Panasonic DMP-BBT01 Blu-Ray, Wii U, Xbox 360 S, Apple TV, freeview antenna, BeoCenter 2 socket unit (behind the easel stand), wifi router, IKEA LED backlights (lights up the back wall nicely during the evening) - and of course a HUGE load of cables!!

In a top of the line, design TV, anno 2013. Shouldn´t most of this stuff/functions be integrated in the TV?

Love it, Søren.  The lamps hanging from the ceiling are incredibly cool!

We have a used textbook store in the household among the many things we have going on here all the time, so this is probably the least attractive BL5 setup around, but I use them every day and they fill the whole place with sound.

Looks like furniture and overall room design has changed a little bit over the time. 

I only own the new age stuff therefore no chance mixing anything right now ;-)

And the hp-Laserprinter still working? It was a fine machine ...

Your setup is not too attractive, but very functional.

sadly I never took any. My setup then was a Proton TV, a Direct TV sat box, a VCR, a Pioneer Laser Disc player, a Fosgate surround processor, and a 5 channel Carver amp. Plus an NHT surround speaker setup, and an NHT sub with its outboard sub amp. All hooked up in the pre HDMI era. Lots of wires! All of this was jammed into one under the TV cabinet, a Scandinavian teak thing. Still have the cabinet.

Lots of beautiful rooms with lots of great equipment.  Every week or so I check in on this thread, mainly to get ideas.  Two thoughts from catching up today.

People still use VCRs.  Just like they still use record players, cassette decks, open reel recorders, etc.

I have never understood the obsession some people have about hiding power and patch cords.
