Enough for a college kid

by wdmbiker on Home Theater

Description

I bought all this when I worked at Ultimate Electronics. I got it on the cheep which was nice. I am in college and live in a basement, so not something too big that would deffinetally get stolen from an apartment but enough to enjoy my movies and music. I will eventually get the new Pioneer Elite DVD player and possible a blue ray/HD DVD palyer depending on which technology is more popular. Will have a PS3 in the system cause the PS2 is taking a dive after 5 years (please hold on until the PS3 comes out). Besides that I will eventually add the 6th and 7th channel to complete a whole 7.1 system with the KEF XQ3's. But that's when I get the space for it. Besides that I'm pretty happy.

Well, for some, the fun starts when you're in college and ends when you get out. The nice part about college (for some) is having parents pay all the bills and everything the students earn is disposable income. Upon graduation, all the bills pour in and there isn't enough money left over for stereo equipment. Reality can bite. Maybe after a couple of job changes I will be able to spend like I spent while in college:).
