Very nice. You will spend countless hours enjoying this system after you've convinced yourself you've tweaked it "just right" \:\) .

The black looks beautiful in your room. Congrats. I'm sure you've got a VERY fun weekend in front of you.

By the way, given the title of this thread, I have to ask... how does the wife like the new setup?

She hasn't really had time to sit down there with me yet. We have a 4 year old and a 10 month old, so it's hard to grab the 30 mins or so a day together between taking care of the kids. By the time we can sit down, the kids are napping or asleep, so we can't play the music loud then anyway! Catch 22

But, I will say this... She helped my carry the speakers down the stairs to the basement!

That right there is a good reason to be married.

Looks good Steve. I don't recall what receiver your using, but I would recommend you use 80hz crossover, even with the subs up front.

ps: After looking at your bar, I can see I need to get more alchohol inventory for my bar. \:\)

Funny you mention that, in the midst of a minor disagreement yesterday, my wife said to me, "You better be nice to me or you won't have anyone to help you carry your new 100lb speaker (EP-600) up the stairs when it comes."

"Touche," was all I could say. I'll be on my best behavior for 2 more weeks... \:\)

Hah, I'm more of a beer drinker. The hard stuff is for guests.

I have the Denon AVR-3806.

I'll try the 80Hz crossover to see how it goes. I only set it at 100 Hz because the M80 starts to drop off at 100Hz. My room has a notorious 63Hz resonance, so I was a little worried about too much peak at that frequency (my old speakers had built in parametric equalizers to tone down that freq). Surprisingly however, I had no problem with the EP500s set to FLAT. They really are pretty flat all the way down to 20Hz.

I'm more of a beer drinker myself, but enjoy a mixed drink from time to time. \:\) I think the 3806 allows for different crossover's for different speakers, so you might experiment. I know many people set the 80's to around 60hz as they go pretty low.

Also, do you have the 150 angled upwards in the picture? If so, I assume it is to aim it towards your ears. You can also flip it over as one side is angled, and then just flip the grill over so the wording is correct.

Yes, it is angled up to my ears (about 4 degrees). I'm using an Auralex MoPads, which are there to acoustically isolate the center channel from the cabinet. This stops the cabinet from resonating.

That's a very nice looking set up and room, congrats, and by the looks of the bar, cheers!

I feel your pain on the 4 year old and younger one. I also have a soon to be 4 year old and just had my second on Thursday. It was hard enough to get a movie in at decent levels with the first...I don't know when I will find time now with the new born
