Laring,

Where did you demo that setup at?

I demo'd the stuff at Sounds Like Music in Phoenix, AZ. We are relocating out here, and I've been interviewing the past few days. So inbetween meetings, I've been hitting the electronics stores. Let me tell you, the Sounds Like Music store is the MOST impressive audio/HT store I have EVER been in. I'm not just talking about the products, but how they have the store set up, it's really cool, and well worth the visit.

Saturn, man that is one impressive HT you have going on. I'm looking to do something a little like this in our new house.

Not quite as tall and elaborate, but same type of concept. Having little kids, I could never leave my stuff within reach.

The Rocket 750s are excellent speakers, but users report they are different than the M60's. The 750s tend to be a bit laid back and the M60s tend to be a bit forward. Take some time to search here and AV123 to see what folks have to say relative to the differences.

I would agree with that. I lost my brackets for my QS4's and was willing to pay for new ones but they were sent, on charge both for the brackets and for shipping. Also, the glue was coming off the grills on my QS4's and again, they sent out new grills no charge. Both came in a matter of days.

You don't gotta tell me how impressive it is. I did recommend it to you... I've been to several audio shops in the Phoenix area and that place is by far the most elaborate and eloquently set up. I absolutely love those Rel subs. The thing is, is that they start at like $900!

Thanks for the comments. I have a dog and I know its not the same but I had to child proof the room nonetheless. The entertainment unit you have is outstanding. My fiancee with want something like that look in the room I have my stuff. I better not show her your post.

Just my opinion, but I think the Paradigm studio 100's are more akin to the M80's than the 703's. M80's and M60's are suposed to sound about the same. But actually, all have their own unique sound. For the money, it's pretty damn hard to beat Axioms though.

Laring:
The pic on my site was the old setup. I just updated what I "currently have at the moment".
...waiting to get thrashed by Demasonic again...

Saturn,

Your Yoda photo is nearly identical to mine. Funny how we both decided on that same frame. It does allow one to see how crisp a projector can be.
