I pride myself in my sound system, which was recently reestablished in my room by way of wall mounts. The biggest problem, as you can see, is the size of the speakers. They’re about 2′ x 1.5′ on the front, and another 1.5′ deep, so it’s hard to find places to put them other than on the wall. So recently I got some wall mounting brackets from Radio Shack and stuck ‘em up on the wall, and I’m finally getting to use them again. They’re 3-way Yamaha floor speakers made a few decades ago, and as my dad would say, they’re pretty flat (which is actually a good thing — it means they have an accurate frequency response), and they sound great.

I’m driving them with a relatively new Kenwood 200-watt-per-channel sterio receiver, which has Dolby Pro Logic surround, but not Dolby Digital surround. That basically means it extrapolates the surround sound from 2 channels (with a very clever method, google it if you’re really interested) instead of carrying extra channels like today’s surround receivers. Pro Logic surround is still nice though, especially for movies.

So that’s my sound system, which like I said, I’m pretty proud of. I love music, and I love when it sounds the way it should.
