Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I've got myself a new house with ready HT room

Based on Brian's link, 100" at 12 feet is right at the point where 1080p becomes a noticeable difference. Perhaps I have been fooling myself (isn't ignorance bliss, especially when it means all that extra cash in my pocket?), but in any event, my advice stands true.

Since you've already got the PJ and cables run, I would live with it for a while and see what you think. At the very least, it will help inform your buying decision on the upgrade.

Thanks for the advise, I just google some pictures of the projector and found out it's a Sharp.

Am planning for a 120" screen fixed frame and would definitely check out the brand and models of the couch for you (if there's a label on it :p)

I think I would move the left over Marantz AVR to living room and also eagerly to find out if he had done any networking wiring at all (big hope! :p), because I don't think using wireless can reach the basement and for streaming of video, a wired connection would be better off.

Good luck! When do you get back in the space to check everything out?

Where is the new home, by the way? Kuala Lumpur still?

Checked the house yesterday with previous owner, a nice chap.

It seem that all the speakers are left behind, all Wharfedale 7.1 WH series (front L/R are being hidden in the wall panels) and the AVR is Marantz SR7500 and the SACD/CD/DVD player is Marantz DV7600. Could not find a brand on the couch though..sorry.

and upon checking, there's a electric screen already there and that would save me another grand...

Most wonderful thing is, the whole house is already networked to every room, a big relief to me! Will check with that guy's installer whether it's cat5 or cat6 wiring....

there's a Karaoke machine with 60000 songs inside, my wife would love that, ha ha.

Now, would the Wharfedale WH2 surround match the performance of the Axiom QS4 or QS8?

The front 3.0 and the small sub will move to living hall.

Don't worry about the Cat5 vs. Cat6 until you have trouble. In most cases you can do gigabit over Cat5 without any problems.

thanks Chris,
btw, would it be a big different if I move the back surround to become a wide surround?

I found that the back surround here are too close to the sitting area (like only 2' from it) and suspicious on the effectiveness compared to what I have now (8' to the back)

Unfortunately, it's all Kraftwerk! (Sorry, Mary!)

Thanks for checking the couch. Looks like things are working out nicely for you. Congrats!

Do I have to remove the cabinet (at least the top shelve) for me to put on the VP150 so that it won't block the screen??

How much height from the top of the cabinet to the bottom of the screen?
