As many of you know, my setup priority is much more geared towards HT than stereo. I opted for an SVS/Denon setup in the new home. Prime Pinnacle L/R, Prime CC, and Prime Elevation surrounds with SB-3000 subs. TV is an 85" Samsung QLED and AVR is a Denon AVR-X3800H. Apple TV and XBox SeriesX are the primary sources. Comfort trumps performance.

Thanks. I just got the rear surrounds in. They were delayed from the retailer. Haven't calibrated yet as I need a mono 3.5mm extension cable to plug in the mic. The cable arrives today.

Congrats on your new home CJ!
Your setup reminds me a lot of my own system, happily chugging along after eight years (plus a TV upgrade about 3 years ago):
TV: Samsung - 85" Class QN85A Neo QLED 4K UHD
AVR: Marantz NR-SR7010
2-CH: Bob Latino VTA ST-120 (from kit)
External 2-ch S/S amp for 2 of the Atmos
BR Player: Oppo UDP-203
Streamer: Apple TV 4K
Media Player: Asus Chromebox 3-N017U running Kodi/LibreElec streaming music and concert films from Synology NAS (no Spotify for me)
Xfinity 4K DVR
Turntable: Technics SL-J92 Linear Tracking (not used much anymore)
Speakers: Elac Uni-Fi UF5 (R/L); UC5 (Center); Dual RSL Speedwoofer 10s; Atlantic Technology IW-155SR (L/R In-Wall Surrounds); RSL W-26 (rears); RSL C43E Atmos (4)
Red/White Wine Coolers
Yours is super clean...no wires to be seen. Where is your hardare hiding?
BTW, I think this post may be better listed in your Technology Section?

I’ll try to remember to post a picture tonight but my AV gear is mixed in with my network gear in a rack.

Very nice! How do the SVS mains compare to the various systems you've used in the past?

See the little green box? That's the forum (among other things).

I'd say they live up to their reputation of being pretty punchy, articulate but a little rolled off and warm, which is fine by me. The dialog is very clear in the time I've spent with the system. They image pretty well considering I have them positioned terribly. They are very much up against the front wall.

That's a great looking room very nice fit of the system in with the decor.

I had a house with a big opening on one side like that and I installed a big, dark, thick curtain that I pulled closed for movie time.
