Jeez! Another person with a relatively neat wiring setup behind their equipment. Someday, I'll have the courage to take a photo of my rat's nest and post it. YUCK!

Are you using the Acoustimass speakers for movies and the tower speakers for music? What use do you intend for the Axioms, and which Axioms are you considering.

Welcome to the forum!

Rats nest is a good name for that pic ! I havent had time to clean it up and make it look pretty. When I do I'll look into some loom covering.

I was using the Bose speakers for Theater on chanel A and the Towers for music Chanel B.
But recently I have tried using A and B together and results sound good. I find the bose lack bass and the towers have lots.

I like the looks of the epic 80's but overkill is not what I'm looking for so I'll proably get the 60's with the larger center and larger bass mod.

I really need a screen to improve pitcher and make room more theater like.

Excellent room and set up. I appreciate these kinds of posts more since doing my basement project.

BTW, not being one to miss an opportunity to be helpful , you show a particular picture (among a whole BUNCH of pictures ) of 4 remote controls.

Given what your system looks like, I'd ask if you have considered an MX-850 universal remote. There are a couple of older threads on the forum that might prove interesting.

If you have an interest, search on "MX-700" (the 850's predecessor) for some good insight into the power of this wonderful device. There is a whole cadre of Axiomites that have jumped on the thing with pleasing results.

I expect one of the following posts will also introduce you to the Harmony alternative too.

Again, very nice setup!

Very nice setup man, similar to mine. The only advice I would give you, if you can get the wifes permission is to paint the back wall a dark flat color, black is best. If you notice your first picture, you have lots of light scatter on the walls/ceiling. Your perceived contrast will drastically improve if you can do something like this, or build a screen with a border using Black Velvet/Felt. The screen will look like it is floating in space....Looks awesome

Here you can see the wall colors better, my ceiling is the same blue I have on the side walls in the HT area.



What, no black bars on 3.25 movies, gotta love a constant height setup.

Nice setup, and I agree with Ray a new remote would fit the bill.

Very nice layout Artcair, neat and tidy! I agree with Ray regarding a universal remote and having the equipment behind the couch area you may want to also consider an IR system so you can point the remote at the screen and have it bounce it to the equipment behind you.

Welcome to the boards!

Trust me. Compared to what is going on behind my equipment, your pic is what one finds in the dictionary next to the word "tidy."

My remotes looked like that until the 880!

Same here but I got the 659 and love it.
