Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater My New Theater Room Pics

Hey All,

Just wanted to post some of the pictures of my new media room. I finally finished it this weekend. We added on several years ago and this room was just going to be attic space so I decided to have them frame it out and sheetrock it. The rest was done by my wife and me. It is 17'-6"x13'-6". The only thing I wish I would have done is put down carpet. Our children are very young and prone to spilling drinks and I just could not imagine having coke stains everywhere. I may put carpet down later. I have put down several rugs to help with the absorption and I also put some insulation on the walls below the chair rail. As you know, trying to place absorption panels in the proper location can look rather ugly, and my wife insisted that it better look good. So this is what I came up with and I have to say, it has worked out pretty well. I used 1" thick insulation board and covered it with some material that I came across at a fabric store. Air seemed to pass through it very easily, so I figured it would work ok. The wood is all oak, stained in a mahogany color. The sconces are on a dimmer and there is a window behind the tv so that is why the curtain is there. Anyway, take look and let me know what cha think. Oh, and maybe some suggestions on what I can do on the back wall.

Thanks,

Todd

That is pretty sweet! Those look like QS4s. How do you like the surround effects with them positioned that way?

Very nicely done.

Excellent! What is the sub, BTW?

Thanks guys. I positioned them in several places and found they sounded best there. The closer I got to the back wall the more they seemed to disconnect.

I watched my first Blue Ray movie last night on my Sharp 1080p. Oh man, it was absolutely amazing. I put a regular dvd in and you could definitely tell the difference, but the picture was still really good. The sound was a different story. The Blue Ray sound was so much more dynamic and the clarity was crystal clear.

I like my clarity opaque, personally.

The sub is an Axiom. I purchased it about 3 years ago. I think it is a 10". Back when I bought the set of speakers they offered two different subs, the one I have and a 12". I thought the 12" would be too large for the size room I have.

Very nice setup Todd!

Not to nitpick but I genuinely believe you would get significantly better music, and movie performance with your front speaker spread out some more. Perhaps centered right below those pictures. And maybe toed in a bit. Especially if you do any listening in 2 channel.

I agree with that.
