Screen, main speakers and subwoofers. The subwoofers are arranged 2 on the left of the screen, 2 on the right and 4 below. There's also a center channel speaker, but I haven't hooked it up to an amplifier yet.

Here I am standing next to Arnold. Screen shots are very difficult to do correctly. Thanks to Mike Flynn for salvaging this shot from a poorly exposed photograph.

Side view showing the equipment shelving and display case. Access to the rear of the equipment is from a utility room behind the shelves. Walls are cherry veneered plywood over drywall. Subfloor floats over concrete, with Pergo on top. Walls are double studded and stuffed with fiberglass for sound isolation. Seating is 2 tiers, seats 8 comfortably.
