The entertainment center does look fantastic, I wish I had near that much woodworking skill. And the rest of the room looks great also, how do the 50's sound?

Great looking digs Ken,you have a nice setup there. One thing I wonder is why do you have the center pointed up?

Ken - nice set up! The stand you built turned out great (and if I remember correctly, took a REALLY long time to get done ). Very cozy room.

Ken, two things:
1) That plant will completely destroy your imaging but,
2) if you shift the cat to the right speaker instead, you might get it back through balanced absorption.

Thank yuh. Thank yuh verra much.

HomeDad- The M50s sound really good. I don't do a lot of critical listening, but when I was repositioning them yesterday I got a chance to listen to some stuff and remind myself how much I like them.

Rick-The center's pointed up for higher waf, and because it sounds better than straight on. It sounds even better tilted down, but then my TV looks like a WATT/Puppy. Which I'm not particularly fond of.

Chess-The plant's not usually that much over the drivers, and it hasn't seemed to impact the sound that much (to my surprise). And I keep trying to put the cat in front of the right speaker, but she won't stay. I suppose if I put a supply of bugs there, she'd stick around. Or knock over the speaker. Plus, it would be really gross, so....back to the drawing board.

Nice setup and environment Mr. Carlile! I do believe that mask would be spooking me if it were on my center though.

Ya know, I thought it might too, but it really doesn't bother me. I rather like it.

Hi Ken,

Very nice indeed. I worried for a bit about interference effects of the philodendrun (I think that's what it is; I had one and it just kept growing and growing . .) but decided that it's OK.

Regards,

Nice work Ken. That'll be a nice addition to the Axiom pic section on this site.
