Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Brwsaw's Room Plan

That's the beauty of having a wall of screen. I can save a setting for games (say 120 inches for sims) or 80 inches for SD content.
The legs that support it may be an issue moving forward. I may need to shorten the pieces on the floor and weigh it down instead of using the back wall cross brace to keep it from falling forward and square to the room.

Trevor, did you assume the subs were behind the screen or is this the reccomendation for this room?

And....
Where would you place a third sub?

FWIW, the screen calculator says a 143" diagonal (16:9) image will fit on the current screen.
Too big but the kids love it.

Sounds like you have a good plan. Are you planning some sort of removable masking for the different screen sizes?

Ha! 145" would be awesome, but awkward, at that distance.

Short answer- I would place the 3rd sub center of the back wall as a default.

I knew you had an AT screen, so hiding as much stuff behind there as possible was my intention.

The studies at Harman have confirmed 2 opposing subs give the smoothest and most tactile LFE response for a group of listeners. What I found opposing subs lack in my own tests is a natural bass presentation. It always feels like the bass is coming from under you like an earthquake. I like the bass to couple to the images in the soundstage. A stand up double bass should not feel like split between the main loudspeakers and a nebulous place from below. I stole the word nebulous from Grimani. Like it.

My opinion anyway.

Believe it or not there little need for masking, the room is very dark.
The only thing you see is the image being projected.

Ok, ok....
Maybe it's not that black but I don't notice the remainder of the screen.
I'll take an up to date pict after I reinstall everything.

That wouldn't work in my room. It sure simplifies things though.

Game on! I'm excited you are going ahead with the plan it seems . Please provide any feedback you can so my methods can be tailored accordingly for future plans. I am planning an inwall setup for a high end home on the side too. In the prelim stages. Love this stuff.
