Wow, nice floorplan! Nice Room!



Thanks! We'll have a bar area in the other area. I'll post pictures when we're done for sure.

The floorplan was pretty much dictated by the posts and stuff though, I was hoping for a more ideal theater room but what can you do.

Probably not advisable. You're going to want to get the tweeters of the mains up around ear height if at all possible. Likewise, you may want a bit more separation than you'd get if they were under the screen.

Regarding the center channel: don't dismiss the idea of mounting the speaker ABOVE the screen.




Hm yeah I was a bit afraid of that. If I go with the wall mounted speakers I'm a bit concerned about the vertical wall of the fireplace and pending cabinetry being too close to the speakers. Though we were also thinking of putting the wall mounted speakers inside a portion of the cabinets (built outwards so they aren't in a little hole) with the fabric stuff across it.

Above the screen might work, though I suspect we might end up having it a bit above eye level rather than a bit below. The projector I want does have the ability to shift optically though without keystoning so that helps that.

That's really a pretty big room. I think you'd be well advised to go for the EP500. Also, don't get TOO committed to a particular location for the sub; you'll want to be able to get it installed and experiment with positioning. It can make a world of difference.



I was afraid of that, that's a bit more than I was hoping to spend. Even though I only need sound in that one side of the whole room, I still need to worry about filling the whole area I guess. And yeah I was expecting to place it pretty much anywhere, I've read that here before about subs.

It's always a good idea to call Axiom and talk with somebody about your specific installation.



That's true, I wasn't sure how much they'd be able to help.

Thanks for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated!
