Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Final pictures in basement theatre (Lots of pics)

Hey all, just took some final pics tonite, thought I would share them with you all. The basement is finally done and I must say it feels good when you build something yourself to see it come to completion...except for the doors tho










(Futon is SUPER comfy, looks the opposite, but man...very comfy!)



























Thanks for all the advise everyone has given me, I love my Axioms and suspect that I will come under upgraditus in the future for sure...

Awesome, Robb! I'm very envious. I'll bet that room sounds a lot different than where you had the system initially.

Nicely done! Love the rack, a little high gloss paint and no one would be the wiser. So where is the review of the new system in its final home? I am sure it sounds even better. Still looks wierd to see vertical centers, especially above, below AND wall mounted.

Nice room! This futon looks a lot like mine and I agree, it's a lot more comfortable than it looks.

Nice looking room indeed. The futon must be a popular one, we have the same one too.

Great room Robb. You must be so pleased with it! Very clever rack - is that threaded rod and bolts? That would make it completely adjustable!!!

Thanks for the replies all. I have yet to sit down and do an official review on the speakers. Especially because I have nothing really to compare them to since they are my first set.

I guess I could hook up my old mini-stereo JVC speakers (6ohm speakers!) and compare the two. THen I would have something to write about.

Andrea,

Yes, the rack is made up of 4 All Threaded Rods. A good project for the wife and I (highly recommended for "AV Time with the wife" points). Quite simple to make, I got the idea off of TNT Audio website. Like you said, it is nice because you can adjust the shelf clearance, so if in the future I get a separate, I left myself alot of room to put a separate amp above the receiver shelf. Same with the stands for the M22s, just some PVC pipe, with some All Threaded rod in the middle, and a top and bottom, boom, you got a good lookin' stand!

Ya, the 2 M3s vertically look a little wierd I guess eh? Oh well, what can ya do

It sounds ALOT different, especially the surrounds. Before, the surrounds were only 3 or 4 feet away from me, pretty much at a 90 degree angle (and level with my ears). Now they are 2-3ft higher than ear level and probably 2 feet back, and I think 7 feet away. I like the sound alot, but it def. is different, I think I prefered the ear level. but that is impractical for hosting movies. I'll get used to it, the opening battle scene on master and commander leaves no desire for anything else but the QS8s. So it must be the source material on some movies that are disapointing.

Hi,

excellent job - i really like the color selection.

not to be overlooked are the stands, only YOU will have the satisfaction of remembering every step of the work that you did.

the projector looks like a Benq. i have one of those in the "simulator" in the basement. it's really good on computer-generated imagery (read: games).

sit back, kick the shoes off, enjoy!

Very creative use of resources (and $$$). I like that, want a job?

Well done. What’s next?

Awesome dude.
