Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater FINALLY...It's all here!

All the myriad pieces of our new living room/entertainment center were supposed to be here right around Halloween. But the EC was backordered so today is the first day we have had it all put pretty much put together. Better late than never I guess. The rosewood M60's are gorgeous and look awesome (IMHO) with the EC. Of course more importantly, the sound is stellar! Here is a link if you would like to take a look (I just had to include one of the view outside our window as well):

And I actually have the Universal remote working (mostly-I can't quite get the complete power-on/poweroff thing timed right).

My problem is that though I order the Axiom wall mount brackets for the surrounds, I need one bracket that comes out another 3 inches and preferably swivels-I don't like the way the curtains hang around the surround-it needs to be directed more to the front of the room (see the fourth picture) and come out farther. Can any one recommend a good wall mount bracket alternative?

While Halloween came late, Christmas came early ;-)

Small clarification, it is the fourth picture in the album that shows the wall-mounted speaker that I want to come out further, but the actually name of the picture is HomeEntertaininmentCenter002.jpg.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Laurie

Wow!

Thanks for the reaction Richeydog! You are officially the first to see the new room in our new house (we have only been here 14 weeks now).

We kinda like it

What Richeydog said. WOW! What a warm, inviting, comfortable room. Though I, very much, like the room, I must say the view from your window is breathtakingly beautiful.

I see you are watching Wake Forest vs. Georgia Tech. Good, tight, defensive game.

If I may make one small suggestion, you might consider propping up the rear edge of your VP150 center channel so that it is angled down toward the ears of whomever has reserved the sweet spot at the end of the sofa. That would probably improve the intelligibility of dialog. You could use just about anything that would do the job, because whatever you use will be out of sight. Many use those inexpensive, angled, rubber door stops which can be found just about anywhere. Your center is very high up, so you may need something a bit larger to achieve the proper angle.

Wow Laurie! You have a beautiful home. The speakers look very nice in there. I know they will give you years of high quality sound.

Enjoy.

Ajax,

Only good game on today, but it is a commercial right now, so...

It is funny that you mentioned that. Hubby and I were just talking about the center and what we needed to do to it. We thought of getting rubber hockey pucks but the angled door stop idea is fantastic. We were going to Home Depot after the game anyway ;-)

And thank you for the description of the room. I got to furnish and paint it from scratch and that was exactly the feel I was going for. It was a blast picking out stuff and I have to tell you I bought most of it individually from pictures on Internet web sites and I was pretty nervous if the whole room was going to come together. Still waiting for my counter stools to get deliverd (kitchen is open adjacent to this room) and the mirror for the wineboard that is in the back of the room.

No family around to share our excitement about our new house so it is wonderful to have you guys here be so nice. I am planning to have a big party in the next couple of weeks which my DH says I want just so I can hear people ooh and aaah. Well, I love parties, but that will be an added perk.
;-)

Wow! ...another setup (along with the whole house & view) to envy. Simply gorgeous, Laurie! If you'd like to post *more* pictures of the rest of your home, feel free to do so. The rest of it has got to be just as lovely!

Nice room and set-up, it looks great, but I must admit that the view is priceless
