When I say it's a work in progress, I simply mean that there is always some new geeky gadget I want for my home theater. I really love everything I've put together so far, and in my humble opinion, it sounds tremendous! I'm sure a true audiophile would pick it apart, but it works for me!

I love coming home, opening up the cabinet and putting on a good movie or watching something my TiVo recorded for me. The nice thing is that with the Pronto remote, I don't have to fumble around with 15 different remotes. I have it all programmed for one touch on and off of components. Makes it easy for Teri to operate as well. Now that I have my whole house audio system hooked up (see the Home Network section on my Projects page) I can listen to my favorite music anywhere in the house, and the addtion of the D-Link media server means that I can stream any of my thousands of MP3's from my PC at home. I really don't even need the CD player anymore since my entire CD collection is right at the tips of my fingers. Check out the pictures below for more information.
