Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Posting your pictures

Zarak,

No, No, No! Go for the front projection!!!

Semi-on, how did you post those urls so they are linked?

i Have new pics thats look alot better. got rid of those stupod tiles below speakers, if you wanna update it amie i will send you one.

2x6,

I'm a UBB code master! OK, so I just stuck [ URL ] link [ /url ] tags around the link, minus the spaces between the brackets and the letters 'URL'. Most UBB based boards do this automagically, but for some reason Axiom's site doesn't.

Other helpful tags, some of which may or may not be supported:

[ i ][ /i ] - italicize
[ b ][ /b ] - bold
[ IMG ][ /IMG] - image
[ QUOTE ][ /QUOTE ] - those fun block quotes you've undoubtedly seen me do
[ u ][ /u ] - underline
[ s ][ /s ] - strikethrough
[ CODE ][ /CODE ] - insert code
[ List ][ * ]list item[ /* ][ /list ] - bulleted lists

Those are the biggies.

A more comprehensive list of the code is available here.

But... Do not abuse the "poll" code or text colors!!! LOL

OK, here goes:

Very nice, 2x6. However, you are DQ because they aren't Axioms. LOL

Btw, what are those super-tweeters? I remember you once posted about them, but forgot what they were.

Ah, you only think they're not Axioms ... let's say they are first order blood relations, brothers to the M60.

The center channel is a Klipsch, a gigantic refrigerator sized Klipsch, sort of like an Axiom made Merak MC6H without the trapezoid cabinet but with the same layout, but huge ... 8" drivers instead of 6.5" and a HUGE horn tweeter instead of a little 7" x 3" tweeter.

BTW, that's the replacement Anthem PVA-5 amplifier, no blue lightning bolts and sudden death. The Kenwood KA9100 amp is having its output board getting re-soldered.

Yes, those are the Radio Shack Super Tweeters good to 40KHz ~3db. I don't know why they change the sound since I can't hear anything above 15KHz, but they do.

Front projection wouldn't work for me with my layout. The TV is against the wall that is a partial wall. The wall is open at the top and slants down the side since the steps are on the other side of it. Wouldn't project too well without the flat surface. I guess a screen could be hung down or something, but I don't see that happening without a dedicated HT room. I'm still a couple of years away from a TV anyway (assuming I can resist that long).

Well, I hang a big rollup screen on the front wall of our multi-purpose living room, so that the screen will cover the built-in "entertainment shelves" and an unused fireplace when it is rolled down. The living room is an open space and has huge windows that do not even have a shade (yet). Still, the projector produces a stunning big picture after dark. I could not have possibly achieved this with a big-box TV or a plasma.

Projectors becoming this affordable lately, front projection is well worth serious considerations with or without a dedicated HT room.

Something to keep in mind for your future planning...
