How is it that you say you're going to upgrade the Silhouettes? If they already came installed for manual opening and closing how could you possibly upgrade them to electric?

And what's the clear sculpture/thing on the console next to the TV?

I don't get what people find good about this entry.

Where's the full room shot? On the others we have criticized the location of couches and chairs, etc. etc. but here you don't get to see the arrangement. Does this comply with the rules? What's the point of two pictures of the TV?

The TV is next to a hallway/door and the wall with windows. Say that's about 40 inches. When you look at the picture with the surround speakers, they are way off the sweet spot. The speaker on the right (in the picture) must be much farther away than the speaker on the left, which means that the simple Home-Theater-In-a-Box probably can't even speed up sound to that channel so that it doesn't sound distorted.

The equipment here is a Home-Theater-In-a-Box! How can this compare to the real setups on RandallB's and Rene's and other's we will see?

"No exposed wires". Instead expose the pipes that run the wires through the MIDDLE of the room?

I think people are falling in love with the barn doors, which are nice, but I don't get the setup. And I'm strill trying to understand if the hanging light fixture would be above my head if i were to watch TV or there's really a dining table there and not a couch.

Doesn't having the TV in front of the window create a bad glare/lighting situation? If it's sunny outside and you're looking straight at the window/tv, I would imagine your eyes/corneas close up and you can barely see the tv.
