System edited: Ditched the DVD juke box and picked up a very nice Denon 3910 universal player. I like it a lot! I also added the MF Tube output buffer. I am waiting for the rest of my cables to arrive so it is not in the system yet.
It's actually not too bad. Carpet, 4 big recliners, and the Acoustic panels help. Plus the ceiling is fairly absorbent. However, it is a bright room. I am starting to put in a false floor and false walls (1/2" sheetrock and 2x4s) next week to make it more like your average room and give the sub woofer something to shake for movies.
