.1? Feh. If you want an authentic reproduction, each channel needs a dedicated sub. 9.9 all the way!




Hopefully there is room left for seats and people- but you've got to take care of the most important things first!

What better way to jiggle your junk then by making the subs themselves the seats?

You could get quite a view sitting on top of an EP600!

How long from the shipping date do the speakers arrive?




about 4-5 business days, unless they get misrouted then add a couple more.




Well, my shipment is "On Truck for Delivery" in Calgary, WOW, they got scanned at 4:30pm on Jan 23 and they are already in Calgary at 7:30AM on Jan 26...Dangit, How am I supposed to concentrate at work?!?!?!

We (my wife and I) recently started Battle Star Gallactica...we finished season 1, but I wanted the speakers for season 2.0...I thought it would be another 2 weeks...haha.

I'll have to set them all up in the living room until the basement is carpeted...Man!!!!!!!!!!!! I am leaving town tonite for the weekend to go to the mountians...what a BAD TIME for the speakers to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you do that, then the first row will have pretty much crap side surrounds because they will be too far back (6 feet back from the front row doesn't sound to appealing).



I was recently at Bflat's home to thoroughly enjoy his theater Bflat's Theater as he originally demoed my system before purchasing. Really nice guy but then he went ahead and built by hand this beautiful place to show me up! Haha.

To get back on track, in the pics you can see that his surronds (QS8's) are set further back and I think the whole sound was excellent. The QS8's are amazing speakers. Don't stress out too much and wait until you get them. Then you can play with your placement but really they can go just about anywhere.

Hay,

Thanks for the link,

I remember seeing his room but forgot about it. Thats pretty much what I have in mind (I have a 14' wide room though).

I'll mess around with placement when the basement is FINALLY done.

On another note, I went home at lunch just for the pure "chance" that I might arrive to meet the Purolator truck delivering my speakers...

Lo and behold, 10 mins after I got home he was there, with all 7 boxes!

I unpacked the M22s just to see what they look like, Man are they hefty in weight, I had no idea that they would be that heavy. Compared to my 8 year old Mini stereo JVC speakers, they must weigh 3x as much, and probably sound 10x better.

I didn't have a chance to hook them up or anything.

I stared in wonder at the EP500 box...didn't crack it open but man, what a huge box, I phoned my wife to warn her of the sheer size of the box.

THe M22 boxes has some pretty good gouges (sp?) in them, thankfully the M22s were not damaged, I inspected the M22s very closely and could not find anything wrong with them except for one bottom corner of the vinyl on one M22 was loose about 1/8 of a mm. I am sure it won't be a problem

Man I can't wait to get it all set up in my living room for a temporary theatre until my basement is done...now all I need is some cheap wire to hook them up (all my good wire is downstairs in the walls)

Didn't open the QS8s or the M3s, but man i can't wait. I can't believe I am LEAVING this weekend until sunday! I don't know how the heck I am going to do it...

I'll take some pics when I have the temporary HT set up.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave the key under the mat and tell the neighbours there will be a tall, thin goateed man coming into the house over the weekend, and despite anything they see, let him do whatever he wants, and not to call the police.

And have a handcart or dolly available... and parking for a cargo van.

Congrats on getting your stuff.
