Thanks Munskie & ET414.
About the glass, that was my dilemma before. And you are both right with that aspect. But in the end I decided to stay with it to keep out dust from the DVDs & toys and to create the effect of the shelves being a display case.
I am not really concerned too much with acoustics as I only watch movies in the room. I am not much into music.
Great tip bro ET414. Actually this is still a work in progress. I have already ordered a new 2-seater couch and will pick up the area rug once the made-to-order couch arrives. Also I have yet to shop for a new sub and center speaker.
But in the meantime, ipon ulit. Spent more than a hundred grand to renovate the room and the new gears.
Thanks for the helpful tips bro Munskie & ET414!
