With a high fireplace mantle, mounting the TV above was not an option. The kitchen is to the left of the fireplace, so a swing-arm bracket allows the TV to be viewed from the entire room.  The large 61" plasma was chosen because of the large windows facing the beautiful south-western view, creating quite a bit of ambient light.  All of the equipment is nicely hidden within a custom cabinet. The Speakers are mounted above the screen, with the electronics and Sub-woofer hidden below. The custom built-in cabinet was designed with Axiom's input, and was built by Dan Bellone.
