My 1st dedicated HT

Thank You to everyone who has offered advice over the past six months. I did have to sacrifice a little due to WAF, like the couch blocking the FR & how does everyone like the play area underneath Al Pacino? Everything sounds great, my next step is to figure out how to get two more QS8's in the mix for rear surrounds. The french doors may pose a problem.....

Ok Pitbull, while that is certainly a cool man cave, I won't bother shoe-shining your ass hole either. M22's, M60's, M80's... buy what you like. Are they overkill? Probably. Oh well, Cheeser was giving you his take on what he'd do, nothing wrong with that.

Personally, I would move those subs somewhere to give the 80's a little breathing room, as has been suggested already. I just feel that they're a bit too close to those outer walls, but then I haven't heard it have I, so what do I know? But I'm here to tell ya, I played the whole, "I'll put it here cuz it looks great here" game and it didn't work out so well for me. So sure, the line up looks impressive, balanced, menacing even.... that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best arrangement to get optimum sound out of though. That's all I'm saying.

So I guess if you're looking for advice, I'd say move the subs around the room in your spare time and find out what really works the best. That will also give your mains room to really shine as well. And if you're not looking for advice, then I say it's your room, if that's the way you like it and it sounds great to your ear, then have fun enjoying it.

Also, what do you think about those subs anyway? I've yet to hear a detailed write up on them. Have you already done so? If so, point me in the direction if you would please. If not, let's hear it buddy, are they the real poop or what?

No shining needed! Thanks for the suggestions. Everything sounds great, to the ear that is. I am going to move the subs around to zero in on best placement; I had them outside the mains and was not good. I'm afraid I might not be able to convey technical info to you, but I am happy with their performance. I'm sure you've already read what I can share without data to back it up. Their midbass is outstanding as everybody before me has stated. They will play low and tight as all heck. They shake the house when called for it. Driver quality has been a concern on some forums, but they are not made out of paper. In my mind, so far, they are decent enough poop to keep around.
