...it is a lot easier when you have a barn with a couple 100 thousand dollars worth of equip.
Dead right on, John. Speaking as one who has just made his own speaker stands with no one side parallel or perpendicular to the other (not really noticeable, fortunately) I've thought the same thing a million times. I really like the whole Old House crew, though some more than others. They seem to be a bunch of straight ahead guys.

Actually I picked the term in the Corps, I was a Drill Instructor at Parris Island and we were always trying to come up with a "funny" to make the recruits smile or laugh so we could take them to the pit and wear them out. Oh, those where the days.....

you were a DI?? i dont like you already..
i spent 3 1/2 years in the army back in the early 90's.. i cant think of a single good thing to say about basic training. oh wait, we got three meals a day.. yep, thats about it.. although it would have been nice if they would have given us some time to eat them.
funny story- two years ago, i witnessed a minor car accident at the intersection i was stopped at.. i walked up to the car that had the worst damage, and the female in the front was dazed(airbag), but relatively OK.. i automatically went into 'combat injury assesment'.. i was checking her responses, clearing airway, check for shock, check for broken bones, keeping her alert.. it was like all the stuff i learned 13 years earlier was just flooding back to me. i suppose that 'knowledge' will always be there, i just dont get in situations to use it everyday.
i bet i could still breakdown an M16A1, in about 30 seconds.

Blindfolded at that!!!! I also served in the National Guard as a 12C for about 3 yrs. Come to think of it with my wife in the USAF, the only branch I havent had anything to do with is the Coast Guard. By the way Congrats on the inbound speakers!!!

Does crown moulding generally make a difference in the way a room sounds?

I believe the ceilings are plaster as well as the walls. The place was built in 1964.

Got any pics of what you have to work with? Or maybe a 360-degree VR movie?
