It's an area called Clear Water Bay in Hong Kong. It's the cleanest, coolest (temp) and most lush part of Hong Kong.

Of course, everything is relative....

Are you hinting you are going to invite me to your NEW home and have the chance to hear/view your fantastic set up?

Man, I better bring 6 oranges when I come knocking at your door!

Latest update. The room has basically been boarded up and a small soffit been created to house the projector housing. You can see where the cables run diagonally across the floor to the front where the centre speaker will reside.



I have decided to darken the inside of the Hi Fi Cabinet to hide the wires at the back.



Dedicated 30 Amp Cryo'ed wall sockets.

Howie, what a great setup and a terrific view from the room. Reminds me of the Saturdays or Sundays when we'd get 25 people to hire a junk from Queen's Pier for the day to sail out and weigh anchor there or up near Sai Kung to go swimming.

Living vicariously from you and Ivan certainly is fun.
