Denon AVR5700 A/V Receiver | |
| What a great receiver! Excellent performer with movies and music. So many rear connectors that a switchbox may never be necessary! Only drawbacks are size, weight, and the remote. |

| Now these are SPEAKERS! Great for keeping the neighbors up, shaking loose plaster off the walls, and making ears bleed... |

| These are monsters! I never thought serious surround speakers were this large. Unfortunately, the clips that hold one of the caps on were broken during shipping... |

Cabling: | |
MITerminator 5 | |
| I'm using the 12' speaker cables to connect to the mid & high [briged] inputs and 12' interconnects to tie in to the full-range subwoofer inputs on the BP2000TLs. There's an 8' speaker cable running to the center channel. The speaker connections are done using banana plugs. |

Monster Cable | |
insert picture here | I'm using a 3' MonsterVideo2 cable to connect the digital coax DVD audio output, a 1.5m MonsterSuperVideo S-Video cable for DVD video, and a 3' Interlink250 for the CD-changer |

Radio Shack | |
insert picture here | Yes, Radio Shack. I got one of their super-heavy-duty gold-plated RCA y-cables to split the single subwoofer pre-amp output. There's no easy way to find out [short of destroying one] but the 6" of wire used appears to be coaxial in nature. |
