They are all so dreamy and sound so good!

Kodiak, a divorce may be a cause for real celebration and a walnut espresso M100 gift to yourself may be appropriate. smile

Well get this, I purposed the idea of mini home theatre in our master bedroom as an escape from the children......

Using OW speakers and small subs.

She’s into it. I’m psyched!! Could be fun to have a 5.2 system! I always considered just 2 channel for the living room. But after reading about Corks different setups and EFalardeau systems I got thinking......

We ll see. Initial enthusiasm sometimes shrinks back to reality.

I’m thinking M5 OW for F L/R............( voice trails off into echoing blah blah blah....).

Or in walls? Anybody use those. Would nice and clean looking. I would want it to be very clean and smooth. No wires. All hidden nicely.

My master bedroom has a surround sound setup but no screen. My wife keeps getting hot and cold on the idea and I’m too chicken to just put one in ... I think it’s going to magically appear some day and no one is going to know how it got there .... smile

Oh that’s awesome. It’s really got me interested in trying out a smaller space vs my medium to largish living room.

I want to find a way to store the screen discreetly so it’s not always visible.

I’m also toying with building a room in our garage for a theatre now too instead of bedroom or both?!

It’s all just talk now. But we ll see. We are thinking of moving ( 3 kids getting bigger now need more space ) or just staying bc we like our place essentially. Anyway, I digress......

Tell me about your master bedroom surround setup? On walls I’m guessing? I have a vague memory of you discribing a setup awhile back. And weren’t you building a specific room or something? Or was that someone else?

I’ve never experienced a good surround sound setup other than going to a real theatre. Is it really worth the effort and cost? ( I’m thinking yes....) but couldn’t a good 2.2 do a pretty good job. I’m really WAY more into 2 channel stereo.

If I did this eventually I’d want it to be good but not over the top and really worried about every spec and everything. Where as with 2 channel I’m way more keen to upgrade carefully and make it as perfect and delightful as my budget allows.

The master has M22 mains and QS8 surrounds. When the TV goes up I’ll add an on wall center and think about getting a new sub (vs using my old Mirage subs).

The family room: M2 mains,VP150ow, QS10 surrounds and an EP500. Just watched guardians of the galaxy... I’m always amazed with the sound of this setup. Yes, it’s worth it. You can do better then your local theater.

The Main theater is a work in progress which I hope to finish before summer ... we will see.

There is no substitute for a large room. Forget two-channel for movies.
