New Apartment: AV Setup

The best solution to create an accessible AV setup is to put it on wheels.

Need to adjust something? Pull the cabinet forward, duck behind to adjust the guts, then push it back. EASY. Watch this video:

All the power and wiring live inside this Ikea EFFECTIV cabinet. I just took off the doors and turned it around.

I have only two sources plugged into the TV: an HD antenna (it’s big and hidden in the cabinet) and an Apple TV (sits right under the TV but you can barely see it).

An Ikea shelf sits on top and provides a wide space for speakers leaving space underneath for the subwoofer on the right and open space on the left. Both of these pieces of furniture I repurposed from my old apartment.

Bose speakers sit on top of Voss water bottle caps.

The lamp behind has two spotlights pointed upward illuminating the space. The hexagon mirrors came pre-installed.
