I think the columns look nice. I used to run a home theater company many years ago and one thing I had to remind everyone is that unless you spend SEVERAL hundred thousand dollars on your theater you will not have the "best" The important thing is to build/buy what YOU like and just enjoy it! Anyway nice build and thanks for the pictures. Are you building the Screen or is it off the shelf? The only reason I ask is I have really enjoyed the DIY aspect of Home theater in the last few years and have replaced most of my off the shelf stuff with DIY speakers/screens etc and have been VERY happy with the results.
