Very nice!

Is that white wire on the wall an antenna?

No the white wires are the power cords for the lamps (which has since been changed and are hidden behind the TV (down the center with the wires for the center channel).  This picture was taken the day I got the 802Dis & HTM2Di, I originally had the lamps on my old speakers, but that wasn't going to work so I just put them up there temporarily until I realized I like them up there.  It took me a few weeks before I got around to getting extensions cords for the lamps and getting the wires put up.  I do have the radio antennas up behind the TV and running under the hanging shelf to pick up the Radio (which I'm underground in this room so radio stations don't come in the greatest without them up hanging under the shelf.

Interesting, the lights must have come with long cords?

The system looks great and probably sounds better than it looks!

Is it suspended in some way from above?
