Maybe I don't understand the nature of the contest, but this set-up doesn't seem particularly ingenious, and it doesn't seem particularly beautiful, either. And if the idea here is that there's a search on for the smallest and coolest (i.e., under 1000 sf), I have to wonder --is this a separate A/V room or is it really a living room cluttered with gadgetry? For these and other reasons --the wires on the floor, the mismatched height between the mantle and the A/V shelves, the lonely acoustic guitar weirdly separated from the techno-toys below-- I had to rate this dial-up only. My biggest problem, though, was that I can't get with this thing of sticking flat screens above the fireplace. It seems really inelegant.
