Nice set-up, enjoy!

great job nice setup

Very nice room indeed Adrien, great work!


Here's an inexpensive way to cure that problem Adrien, I use our small tripod for the camera and also to hold the RatShack SPL meter whenever I'm calibrating the system.

Hi,

Nice setup, but Capn, what is that VP100 doing on the floor? Normally, I'd advise against that because you might get a bassy coloration.

How does it sound down there? I admit I've never tried a center on the floor.

Regards,

Long day today Alan?

Very good, Adrien. Long time no see; welcome back; hope that your practice is going well.

Indeed, as Rick referred, I just ordered up the FMS CC.

With regard to Alan's point, the VP100 sounds pretty bad on the floor. Muddy is a good word to describe the sound. Voices are muffled and there is a noticeable loss in (perceived) volume - probably due to the lack of clarity. Prior to taking the pics, I had set the Center up on a little box that elevated it off the floor. Sound was much, much clearer and brighter. I just figured that, for the pictures, it would look better without the box.

Regarding the FMS CC, I ordered it "custom" on Tuesday. By custom, I mean you can choose the specific height that you want/need, which is great, considering most other center channel stands don't give you that kind of felxibility. In fact, I was able to find alternative, otherwise perfectly suitable substitutes for half the price of the FMS CC, but the customizable height was a deal maker for me. I was delighted to get my e-mail from Noreen yesterday, saying that my stand was on its way. Got an update this morning - it'll be here by Friday! Can't wait.

Once I get that in, I'll take some more proper pictures of the HT, including some of the PJ itself (Which I neglected to include last time). I'll get some more screen shots too for you picture junkies.
