I should probably buy some partitions to square it up whenever you guys visit so you aren't disoriented.

Nah, leave the extra room and watch them get lost. grin

Hey Chess. I figured you could drop by and paint on your way to that aniversary celebration this September. I'll even throw in a bottle of nice wine... as long as you promise not to drink most of it until after the painting is done.

The message board isn't liking the generated code, and my brain is too tired to make sense of why, so here is a link to the image of the QS8 mounted to the weighted box.

It's going to look weird for a while as I get more speaker wire and figure out the best way to run the subwoofer cables and wire to the rear surrounds, but at least it's functional, and you can see the basic layout:



Yes, I decided to put one of the horizontal EP800s on the ledge behind the screen. It seems to work just fine, so I'm glad it's not just wasted space back there. I'm just going to get blinds to block light from the window.





Besides the bad amp in one EP800, another one was exhibiting a rapid knocking sound whenever there was extremely low bass. I never put in the time to troubleshoot it since it wasn't the most common thing, and it would have been an ordeal to try to figure things out in the smaller space. I was playing the THX "Amazing Life" opener after doing the Audyssey quick calibration, though, and my dad was around, so after the knocking happened again, we both decided to try to get to the bottom of it. The good news is it wasn't the drivers or the amp. The bad news is it was a piece of the enclosure which never got secured properly. There's a board behind the amp when you open it up and look inside, and it was loose in there, so that's what was banging around inside during those times. We put the bad amp in the bad enclosure and the good amp in the good enclosure, so I have three functioning subs. I emailed Axiom about the issues and what we did, so we'll see what they say about getting this one fixed or replaced.

In the meantime, I'm extremely happy with the sound. It's even clearer and more open-sounding than it was before. Now I mainly need more seating to have a movie night. My friends can deal with my mess of cables.

Thank you. It's not as nice as it should be after so many years, but maybe I'll marry an interior designer, and she'll be all about improving the space.

Good plan. Make sure she's OK with a gator pit though.

I think it's looking great!

And if you end up not liking where one of the speakers is positioned, you can green-screen it out. smile

Yeah, my dad really wanted to do that type of ceiling, and I don't blame him.

If you're referring to the green, I picked it because I never seem to see it in home theaters, and hey, I like it. I decided the color scheme would be "haunted forest." Maybe I can get an artist to come paint tree-ish silhouettes on the walls in the future. Ha ha.
