Are there any websites (outside of FleaBay) with older home theater magazines?
Would really get a kick out of em.

I threw away a HUGE pile of HT magazines when I packed to move in July. Literally several hundred pounds of HT and A/V mags. When you find out how much it costs per pound to move halfway across the country, it puts heavy stuff in a whole different light. You think, "That's going to cost $30 to move? Forget that!"
I saved a few choice issues, like a Robb Report Home Entertainment from (I think) 1997 with a beautiful modern HT on the cover. G90 hanging in the middle in the middle of the room. I'm not sure if I even know what a G90 was back then, but that magazine cover was definitely one of my "holy sh*t, I MUST have a home theater some day" moments.

Definitely go find some A/V Interiors magazines. Lots of eye candy. I remember buying a bunch of those back in the late 90s, drooling over the stuff in there, thinking that I'd never have any of that gear.
Shame on you, Steve for throwing out those mags! Mediamail shipping is dirt cheap, someone (me!) would have taken some.
Not that it should surprise anyone, but I have kept every magazine that I've ever bought or inherited, or bought at a flea market. I have 1000s... Will post a pix one day, maybe soon..

Yeah, I know I could have sent them to somebody, but I ran out of time. I've been hoarding the stuff for years, and the magazines were just one small part of the problem. Plus, my move happened really fast. We closed on our old house the end of June, and that started a very fast chain of events. We ended up flying to Utah, buying the new house, packing, moving, closing on the new house, my wife starting work and my kids starting school in less than four weeks.
I tried to get rid of the mags without throwing them away. I asked the Iowa AVS guys if anybody wanted them, and one guy dad take a handful when he was over. I even called two local libraries to see if they'd take them, and they said they didn't need any more historical periodicals. I said, "Yeah, but this is different than your typical periodical. People can use these as reference material when they're doing their own projects." Still didn't want them.
I had hundreds of pounds' worth. I'd guess that if it would have been possible to stack them in one column, the stack would have gone to the ceiling. All home theater and AV stuff. It was insane. It was really sad, but I just couldn't move them.

*Note to self - Keep stack of A/V mags away from crabb *
I don't have hundreds of pounds worth (thank god ) but I do have about 50 or so, picked them up at an estate sale that the guy had a HT. He had WAY more mags than what I grabbed, but I grabbed all the stereophile mags, mainly because a lot of the equipment he had, and that I bought, was also reviewed in those magazines, so it was kind of neat to have them with the stuff
Good reading material, and eye candy for sure!

Ecrabb is not allowed to come to any of my East Coast Blendzilla Meets. I have nearly complete collections of:
Wide Screen Review
Stereophile Guide To Home Theater
Audio Video Interiors
Home Theater
Sound & Vision
I have to constantly battle my wife to keep this collection.
Uncle Will, if you come to the Fourth East Coast Blendzilla Meet, you may peruse my collection of HT magazine porn to your heart's content. (In those 100's and 100's of magazines, I don't recall a single image of a midget stripper...........)

If that's a problem, I'm sure we can round up a few dozen photos for somebody to nonchalantly insert into various issues to be found at future Blendzilla meets.

Found this really old copy of VIDEO Magazine. Looks like it was in the late 1980s - right around the dawn of the home theater age.
