Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Axiom's seen on TV?

I think the room looks OK, they just crammed too much crap in there. Get rid of half that shit and it would be OK.

I agree with you folks who believe the room looks better in the 'before' shot ... clean up the cluttered wires, place the mains where they really need to be, add a couple of bass traps, some strategically placed acoustic panels and although I do see a single sub over near the left front corner I'd most definitely add a couple of 5 or 600s.

And...

Put that damn jungle gym out in the garage (unless it's a total mess like mine and doesn't have the room), add some built in CD/DVD cabinets and maybe throw a little paint on the walls. That's all this room needs I'm thinking.

From the looks of the "before" photo, it looks like it was a GUY'S room to begin with. Well, the "after" photo looks too girly. So maybe the guy has a wife or a girlfriend who disapproved of the old layout. But my question is...why would anyone who prefers this fancy-schmantzy room approve of the Corn Dogs & King Kong signs?!

They shouldn't have labeled it Before and After, rather Single and Married.

It looks like an attack of the 60s and 70s. Horrible. Of course, I'm not partial to the before picture, either.

I don't care much for the "after" setup but, though appreciating the openess of the "before" setup, the audio equipment on the floor and a weight bench in the room are a tad gauche, doncha think? And what's all that stuff on the floor along the left wall? DVDs? CDs?

Of course you have to take into consideration that I'm one of those who puts something in every inch of open space. What can I say? I'm an accumulator. It's a curse!

For clarity, I am not saying I think the "before" room is great, just that I prefer the "before" to the "after".

I bet they spray-painted the speaker grills brown.

I doubt it--I think it's just the different lighting/tinting of the picture.

Let's remember that this room is of an Axiom owner who may come on the boards.

I find it funny how many negative comments have been made considering there has been a few other rooms posted in the past that weren't that great. For those, either limited posts of "nice set up" were made or slight suggestions for improvment were offered.

I don't want to come across the wrong way but we do have a lot of faithful lurkers on the site (I was for a couple years) and would hate to see them upset. It's not often on this site people are anything but nice and helpful.
