Tom I made a killer pineapple upside down cake in the cast iron skillet a few days ago, first food item I think I ever baked...wifey was surprised I baked, I was surprised the house didn't get burned down. Nothing special for the holidays though.


Who's getting a 9.1 system installed?

Rick, are you thinking about this? really, I think the only person on this board that should be thinking about this is Randy...hopefully he will come to his senses and install the 9.4 system that his room really does need.

Oh no, no no no Robb ... Ricko has more than he can handle at the moment, technological advances are at a faster rate than I can keep up. I have a difficult enough time keeping up with which damn remote goes to what component, much less what 1080p,i, 1.3 HDMI, lossless sound, True DD...etc and so on, makes my brain smoke thinking about it.

That's why I have resorted to baking pineapple upside down cakes.

Sucks getting old!

So Rick, let me get this straight, you ARE going to get a 9.4 system?

Hi pheare, is this roughly the configuration you've been thinking about?



My room is basically 20L by 10W and 8H.

The sectional is currently split into 2 rows (various reasons) and I prefer the sound from the first row now with the QS8's slightly further back. They used to sit just about in line with the listener and are now around a foot or more back.

My second row is basically 2-3 feet back and up against the rear wall. I haven't had a chance to do any listening/movies since I installed the new rear QS8's. However, the side surrounds being slightly ahead of the second row sound good. The design of the QS8's make them that forgiving.

I believe you will have a little more room to set yours up and think it should be good. I will hopefully get sometime this weekend to put on some DVD's at reference levels and play.

If you feel my setup is similar and have any questions or want me try something let me know as I need more excuses to get some play time this weekend!

Hi Hay,

Yes your setup is very similar to what I am envioning for mine. Though I will have a little more room between the back row and the back wall (I hope).

Let me know how the rears sound with you back couch right up against the wall.

Thanks!
