I feel the same way about "temporary" solutions and think it is much better to finish it and enjoy it versus starting late and being annoyed by the previous solution. Sucks realizing you could have been enjoying the proper solution for many years.
Thanks, Splinter. I've not mapped-out the all of the details of the design, but hopefully I'll arrive at something that is close to the general design. To avoid temporary solutions, I either need to work much faster than I do or get more time to work on projects. C'mon retirement!
Thanks, Nathan. There's a lot of wood going on in that area already with the fumed eucalyptus wall panels, rosewood speaker veneer, hickory floors. Hopefully, throwing two more species into the mix won't be too overwhelming!
I’m sure you have a plan, but now is the time to devise a cable management scheme.
Thanks, Ron. Most of the cables are exiting from the amp, which will be on the lower fixed shelf (7.2 speakers and HDMI). These will immediately exit the console and go to the wall. (I'm thinking I'll cut some scallops at the top edge of the lower rear stretcher for cables going in/out, and the removable back panel will then keep them captive while it's in place).
There aren't a lot of inputs dropping down to the amp, and my hope is that they won't be visible from the front, and I won't need any special cable management system. However, I've left enough space behind the shelves that I can retrofit some sort of insert if I find that it's needed.
