Those who read my earlier post about the entertainment stuff know the situation.
What has gone on since then is pretty simple, really.
I followed through on the HK equipment and got a set of freestanding Elfa shelves to use as a new rack for it and the few things I am keeping. The rest of the old gear has been hauled off to a place in San Jose that will go over it, fix what they can, and sell it all on consignment. No idea what I will get for it all, but it is out of the house and we have much more air and floor space as a result.
Other than the HK receiver requiring that the TV be on when you change input sources (I guess it has to tell you it is doing something via the screen, even though the front panel notifications are more than adequate) it works perfectly, and sounds great.
I did a lot of digging on wall mounts for the speakers as well, and that is a project coming soon. There will be a picture in the end, I suspect. More when I know it.
