Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Second Try

Sorry for the mess in our living room and that I haven't yet learned how to upload images onto the forum.

Sound is excellent with two minor exceptions: 1) right M80 seems slightly crippled by rear projection being muffled by ventilation duct on bottom wall, to correct this I would need to slide everything to the left including placement of center speaker, and 2) left qs8 (pic 5) is about 2 ft too high because of internal 2X4 in wall at the level of right qs8 (pic 3) that blocks the internal wire from descending.

I am fussy about sound so eventually I would like to lower the left surround by whatever means (e.g., white speaker wire on top of drywall if necessary) and slide display to the left (necessitating remounting the center speaker) . . .

Can't figure out how to upload images so here are links:

Fronts

Sub

Right Surround

Rear Surrounds

Left Surround

Sat, those are perfect sizes for the gallery. Click your links, right click on the picture, choose save target as, then go to your gallery post and do the upload jimjam with your saved photos. Also, verra nice! I'm insanely jealous of your sub, your room, and your TV.

Hey thanks, when I right click within this page it saves the image correctly (approx 40 kb), for some reason within picasa itself right click saves only the thumbnail (4kb), even though it's the same image. Could it be firefox? Oh well, the gremlins live on, and I'm sure will remain when I am long gone . . .

BTW don't be fooled, I'm still a ways away from making my system work (and I mean that quite literally, work = just function properly, but hey, that appears to be my reality, this is my first sub, first surround sound system, and first HD DVR with external HD; although I was hoping to skip the painful learning curve I guess that was just an old guy fantasy), and while I wouldn't necessarily count myself as you do in the "I hate tweaking" club (although yes, I agree these days there is no time for such pursuits), I absolutely belong to the "I hate troubleshooting" club, which truth be told, is often the same thing, and where I remain stuck at the moment, although I am hoping this purgatory will not persist for more than a few more weeks or heaven forbid months, aaaaaahhhhh!

Nice looking set-up,Sat.

For those of us too lazy to click on SK's links

Nice Fire!

I see that SatKartr likes to run his sub hot!

How can you tell? The knob is is not in the pi.... Oh. I see what you did there.

Yeah, it gave me a good, hearthy chuckle.

Is that "The Changeling" you are watching there? What a great movie. Antother masterpice from Eastwood.
