I'm finding more and more frequently that people are losing the enjoyment of just sitting and listening to music. For the ones that have a dedicated stereo who like to kick back and relax, post a picture of it and talk about it if you feel like. Its always cool to see what other people have and enjoy
I listen to more music than watch TV. Often times at the end of a hard days work, I like to drift away to music and then drag my ass to bed. I find I get the best sleep this way. A lot of what is there was purchased used otherwise I couldnt afford it, especially the big amp on top (the Threshold).

Source: Squeezebox3 and MSB Daclink III DAC
Main amp: Threshold SA3 50WPC Class A - driving main speakers
Sub amp: El-cheapo Radioshack 250W (ya right) - driving subwoofers
Pre-amp: Soundcraftsmen Pro Control Three
Main speakers: Usher S520
Subwoofers: Home built with old Vifa 10" drivers
Crossover: Audiocontrol PCA set to 50Hz on the subs.
I've got the main speakers running full range - no interaction with the crossover. The cheap radioshack amp does a fine job actually in the small 10x12' room. I doubt the subwoofers ever see much more than about 25W a piece. Its probably why the crappy amp works in this situation. The main amp I love to death because its so smooth and has huge control over the speakers. Much better than my previous 205wpc Souncraftsmen power amp.
The Usher speakers are just incredible for the price. I've heard stuff thats 3-4x the price which to my ears didnt sound as nice overall. The subs I built a few months back using old Vifa 10" drivers. Incredibly tight, deep bass out of them. Due to room gain, I have nearly flat response down to 18Hz and very usable bass down to 15Hz not that I can hear it, but my SPL meter registers the air pressure
Umm what else. Music library is basically all my CDs ripped as WAV which is stored on my home server. I listen to a little bit of everything...not into R&B or RAP though. At least not newer stuff.
