Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Finally... Some Pics of Our Home Theater

I finally got a chance to snap a few photos of the home theater with the relatively new Axioms. I know how you guys lust for pics, and I didn't want to let the group down.

Hope you enjoy them! And please, no dissing the surrounds or sub. They won't be decommissioned until at least after the receiver is replaced--and they don't take criticism well.

Otherwise, would love to hear your thoughts. Hope you enjoy the pics...

Our Home Theater

Very nice. Love the sofa and seat (that's next in my never-ending cycle of upgrades). Actually, I'm thinking of putting a small shelf above my TV (set up like yours currently) for the center. Enjoy.

very nice.. i always liked show and tell.. to be honest, i am not a big fan of grills off.. but in that room, they actually look better to me with the grills off.. of course, i am sure your wife will disagree with me.. they all disagree on that subject.. well, not all..

and whats up with that sub and surrounds???? come on dude, welcome to the 21st century..

i couldnt resist..

you mentioned getting a new receiver.. what do you got, and what do you want??

Thanks guys! Appreciate the kind comments.

Way to spot the center channel shelf, Ockham. I noticed a little bowing of the TV screen at the top, and went with the black shelf solution. Mine's only about 3/4" thick, but in hindsight I'd recommend a nominal 2" if you don't want to see any bowing of the shelf itself.

I currently have a Sony STR-DE825 receiver that's over 5 years old. It has actually treated me very well, but I'm ready for something with a little more power and some of the "new" features (DTS, DPL II, etc.). I'm currently eyeing the NAD T752 as its replacement.

Looks like a setting that would bring a very relaxing and enjoyable movie watching experience.

That looked like an awkward room to work with.
Well done.

Wonderful, inviting room. The Axioms look great. Excellent job of keeping the wire clutter out of sight.

Nice to have a setup where you can enjoy the video AND the fireplace at the same time.

Nice pics! I especially like the 4th pic (titled "looking up") -- the angle on that shot is great.

Oh, and the Ikea coffee table really ties the room together.

Ditto to all of the above! Lovely room.

Thanks again guys. The room was a bit of a challenge to work with dimensionally (wouldn't mind having the M60s a bit farther apart), but overall it has worked out really well. It definitely help that the previous owners had already run cable to the ceiling for the surrounds, and had also established a cable path from the back of the component cabinet to the wall behind the TV. That's about all they did well, so I'll give credit where it's due.

Buko, you'll have to share how you were able to spot the Ikea coffee table. My wife will be very impressed. I have to admit, Ikea puts together some very cool stuff for the price. Oh wait--they make you put it together yourself. You know what I meant...
