Eleven speakers must sound amazing. I'm guessing it's probably an Atmos configuration.
DIY speakers sound ineteresting... and beyond my level of skill VAF Research in my hometown of Adelaide used to offer DIY kits, but think they stopped 10 or so years ago. Great speakers. Had their DC-X's as fronts (which I believe were available as kits as well).
I do have an Atmos setup, plus my DIY project, and two vintage marantz receivers that I’m restoring. The Theater system is used daily, but I get the most satisfaction from the DIY setup.
Another night image before I bombard you all with some more colourful butterfly pictures.
The Milky Way from my backyard a few nights ago after shooting Neowise.
Jupiter and Saturn positioned either side of my neighbour's roof apex.
My 8" Dobsonian needs a CLA. The mirror has fogged up. I wanted to observe Neowise and the planets but given I don't use the telescope much I shouldn't be surprised that it needs some attention. [Note to self - add this to the long list of things to do]
Then a couple of shots in the local park after all the fuzz about the 35/2.0 lenses. Those were shot with the 35/2.0 ais. 35mm f/2.0 ais by Kankara Karlhag, on Flickr
Kristian - I am not an expert lepidopterist (word of the day) but it looks like a Pearl-bordered Fritillary or perhaps the smaller variant. A threatened species in England and Wales.

Spotted this one from last summer that just got around to tweaking. I have not seen the horses and carriages operating which makes sense given there are just about zero tourists.
Z6 and Nippon Kogaku 13.5cm f4 S-mount lens. After some struggles with other adapters, the Fotasy one works pretty reasonably.
Love the shot.
But be careful. Very unusual to see a fox out in the day, unless there's something wrong with it. I have dispatched a few rabid foxes in my lifetime. All in the middle of the day.
Leighton, there's actually 2 of them hanging around. They both seem healthy. They do disappear most of the day, usually have sightings early and late in the day. And good point, should stay a safe distance from them.
The non-photographer lens hoarder strikes again in the hopes of clean glass. This was not $60. This is a fantastic lens with image quality on par with primes, most people don't like it although videographers like its function. I use it for theater and large events on a mono-pod or tr-ipod, this would be my second one. Large, heavy, smooth focus, internal zoom.
Pardon the long post, my celebration of the lens, and hope of good times to return.

Was out for an overnight on the South side of Mt. Baker (Washington State) with of my daughters.
Hit the jackpot for weather and did a Sunday-Monday trip which cleared out most of the hoards of outdoors-starved people not wearing masks . . . .
16/3.5 AI was my only MF lens with me, but as you can see it served me well as usual.

+1 regarding videographer use. It is my go to lens for video projects. Guess I should say was... Hopefully will be soon when things get back to normal. Am really missing doing video work on weekends.
A few older shots of my rig. This was when I was using a Fuji XT-2, now use the D850 for the video work. Same rig though.

Wow - that's an impressive setup. Hard to hide that one from your significant other half!

Maybe I can talk the market into hiring you to take a promotional video.
