Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Google sketchup plan with M80's.

Ok, I know I posted a sketchup plan post before but it died and I have drastically added more to my plan(m80's, dining room, colors, more accurate dimensions for everything). This is the living room of the house I will be moving into in about a month when were done painting it. That giant cabinet will hold the tv and emotiva lmc-1, lpa-1. Any thoughts or input on this would be awesome.

I thought the TV was going above the fireplace. You'll experience a very strange effect during movies because your TV is not centered between the M80s.

Yeah it will eventually, but I'm building a theatre slowly and don't have the money right now for a flat screen. For now I'm just going to enjoy stereo music from the M80's. I hardly ever listen to surround movies anyway. Music is my thing. I'm a multi instrumentalist and decent music producer, so I love that audio bliss. When I'm watching the tube, its usually broadcast television. Eventually though I want to enjoy multichannel music.

btw, do you like those m80's I made? It took me way too long.

Adam, the general suggestion is that the M80s should be separated by about the same distance as you're sitting from them and toed-in so that the tweeters point at your ears.

In my opinion, you should move your M80's to the wall with (what looks like) a very long window. Move the couch that is there across the room so it is facing the newly positioned M80's.

you know...That actually might be a good idea. Later, I'm going to try moving things around in sketchup and see how that works. I'll post a picture of it here when I'm done.

The only thing is... wouldn't it be kind of silly having a large cabinet in front of a window?

I think I like it. Who cares about the window, the world is an ugly place. I took away the two seat couch and endtable. Its definitly more open. Besides, who am I kidding, I don't really have that many friends to seat anyways.

My TV used to be in front of my window, and I didn't miss looking through it. Not a bit! Of course, people with better views may have a different opinion.
