the apple tv, i have been wondering if it would be worth buying or not, for video, and audio... im using a benq projector, so image quality is a concern... but a mac mini is only a few hunderd dollars more than the apple tv…..
Here is what I like about the apple tv:
it is designed for tv’s…specifically hi-def tv’s
the interface is very user friendly
all my photos look great in hi-def
I can watch movies, tv shows, music videos through it.
All my music is very nicely organized
It connects wirelessly and syncs with itunes very quickly. It only takes a second or two for each song and about a minute or two for a hour long show.
The sound is only “ok”. It is not a SACD, but it sounds darn good. And for casual listening or for a party, you cant beat it. Now you can visually select and change the song.

Jonah,
How far are you from your left and right mains? And how far are the mains from eachother?
You might get cleaner response if you move your M80s apart a bit further (if the distance from M80 to M80 is less than your listening position to the M80s). You could move the EP500 inside of the left M80, sort of mid wall, this will give you cleaner bass response, less boomy. I am sure the wife won't really care as the sub and the M80 are just switching places.
Then the right M80 has to move out more to the right to match the left M80.
MANNNNN, I love that maple....droooooooooooooooooooooools.

I keep looking at your pictures and going, "How'd he get my M80s?" Very nice setup.  I also am partial to the Vermont Maple.

Thanks for the pictures. You have a very lovely setup! I agree with everyone else...the maple looks very nice and very classy. I must also add that I like the hanging window from the ceiling. Creative decorating!

Sweet set-up!
One more question: Dawgs or Yellow Jackets?

If I swapped the sub and the m80, that would be fine. But then, like you said, I would of course have to move my right speaker out to match the left. If I did that, the right speaker would be in the way to walk up the stairs. As far as the sub being boomy, this isnt really a problem. My celings start at about 15 ft, then slant up from there another 10 feet. The long and short of it is that I have a huge amount of open space in this room. In the open area where my main seating area is, the bass response is obviously lower then the corners, but it is perfect. Maybe down the road, I will get a second sub to place somewhere else. But that will be a year or two away. My next purchase will be a nice amp (possibly the new Axiom amp if it is at a reasonable price and perfoms well).

indeed, that is a wii you see. More for the wife then me. After all, who cant play a video game by just swinging a controller around. I think ill check out the mii section though.
Thanks for the comment on my castle. Im sure it would be more nicely decorated if I didnt spend so much money on speakers and tv's and such! ha!
