Ajax,
Only good game on today, but it is a commercial right now, so...
Not a fan of USC or UCLA, huh?

It is funny that you mentioned that. Hubby and I were just talking about the center and what we needed to do to it. We thought of getting rubber hockey pucks but the angled door stop idea is fantastic. We were going to Home Depot after the game anyway ;-)
Not sure the door stops will tilt the speaker enough, but worth a try.

What a wonderful room you have their Laurie, the scenery is like a picture from Better Homes and Gardens. I would also echo Jacks recommendation of trying to angle the Center speaker downward a bit if possible. Idealy, you really want the center and left/right tweeters inline, however, it appears you have no way to lower the center with your entertainment center. So, the next best option would be to direct the sound towards you.

Wow, your home is absolutely gorgeous Laurien, the speakers look as though they were made for your home. Thanks for sharing the pics of your beautiful home. Have you aimed that center channel down a little yet?

Very nice Laurien, another option for the center channel would be to raise the TV a little bit and place the center speaker directly in front of the TV.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Laurie, you should be ashamed of yourself for making me feel so bad about my own home decor.  Seriously, your room is absolutely stunning. The Axioms look stellar with that EC. Well, jeez, the whole rooms goes together well. What more can I say? By the way, I'll be looking for my party invitation in the mail. And, yes, I will be holding my breath until it comes. So there.

Well St PatGuy, California isn't too long a drive, though I think coming from New Hampshire might be stretching it a bit for Mark. But anytime you all are in Utah, feel free to stop by. The best parties are spontaneous! Ajax, I phrased that wrong. The Wake Forest game was the only good game on right *then*, USC came after ;-) And we did get the door stops yesterday, but still thinking about how to better align the center, and at least angle it down some more. The sound is still pretty premo after we fine tuned the calibration some more. I really like the Yamaha 2700 receiver with the Axioms. And HD on the Pansonic 9UK is pretty stunning. Still have lots I want to do in this and in the other rooms(dining room is coming along nicely), but didn't think this was the right board to post those pics-at least until I get more Axioms for those rooms. :-) I never had a chance to really "decorate" a room before, but it really is a lot of fun. Maybe we could collaborate on yours St PatGuy. Maybe interior design will be my third career.  We looked at 54 houses this summer before we bought this one-though we knew as soon as we drove up it was the house for us. And while I have waited almost 30 years to get my dream house, I wasn't just posting to show off-really. I really am looking for someone to recommend a more extensible wall bracket to use with the back surround? Thanks for all the lovely compliments, Laurie

Well I reckon I'll have to be the first to ask about the SPEAKERS....
What wood/finish are they? They sure look purty and fit in with your wonderful room very nicely.
