its going to be over year now that I started to build the system of my dreams ... and even its not finished yet, I would like to share it with you:
Engine: DENON AVC-A1HD + DBP-4010UD with Samsung Plazma 63" screen
Front speakers: B&W 803 Diamond 2 running by bi-amp + HTM2 Diamond 2 as a center
Back speakers: B&W 805 Diamond 2
Subwoofer: still thinking about necessity ... I love concerts and I feel bass just enough.
As a passive (however frequent) reader of your posts, comments, photos, advices ... I found lot of inspirations & advices to utilize - thanks for that.

krtko,
A beautiful set up. Very clean. And an excellent set of gear.
Have you considered wall mounting the TV and placing the center channel on the entertainment center? That approach should yield better synergy from the front three speakers.
Hope this helps.- Bottom

As for a subwoofer, I highly reccommend one, preferrably two to even out room response. Personally I think your feeling that the bass you hear in your system is fine as is is only because you haven't experienced what you can't hear A sub will absolutely destroy the 803Di in their ability to project deep controlled bass. My 802Di's simply can not compete with either my Paradigm Servo 15a's or my Sub 25. Although like you when I run my system in 2 channel without subs it's easy to get the impression that a sub isn't needed and when listening to stereo sources, especially music that probably is true for most music but once you switch from stereo to a soundtrack with a dedicated LFE in the signal and then compare the bass performance of a 5.0 setup to a 5.1 setup there is simply no comparison in my experience, having the sub just brings everything together.B&W 800 Diamonds (L/R), HTM2 Diamond (C), 802 Diamonds (SL/SR), Paradigm Signature Sub 25 (LFE), Reference Servo 15a x 2 (Stereo subs), Lexicon MC-12Bv5EQ SSP, Bryston 28B-SST2x 2, 7B-SST2x2, 4B-SST C Series, BDP-2, Oppo UDP-205, Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-150FD, Furman SPR-20i, IT-Reference, Eastlink Maestro PVR, Xbox One & 360, PS3, Siltech Golden Ridge II, Ruby Hill IIx2, 330ix2, Kimber Kable PK10 Gold, Tonic, PBJ, Cadence, HD19e, HD19, OPT-1, HDSW 4x1, Ixos 6003, Harmony 1000- Bottom

Great Setup!
I agree however that putting the TV on a wall mount and the center on the stand would be the way to go.Main System:

nimrodasas,
Very nice setup!
I have a couple of questions. First, is the center channel right up to the front edge of the entertainment center (hard to tell from the picture)? If yes, cool. If not, I suggest moving it to front edge. This will eliminate any unwanted reflection off that glass surface.
Secondly, is there a rug in front of the speakers? If not, I definitely consider putting one there. That will help tame the reflections.
Hope this helps.- Bottom

Congrats rompower, great room and tastefully appointed!
I'm at the start of a new room Reno right now and would love to know where you sourced your flat black wall paint, wicked carpet, and wide aspect wall art.
Also, what projector are you using?
Sorry for all the questions

Thanks Wettou!
Sadly... this is the end for me, I have to tear it down.. I never though it would be that painful... Maybe in few years I'll be able to rebuild a dedicated room like this... I'll miss this Rouge et Noir's room so much, each time I walked in it, closed the door... lay down on the couch.. hearing nothing but the clicking noise of the amplifiers when pressing the Power On button...
And.. NO NOTHING'S for sale! I keep everything eheheh
