Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater BIGJOHN'S HT PICS(finally)

well, here ya go fellas!!

i will try and give color commentary.

first pic is standing right behind the sweet spot. in the pics, the grills look kinda pink.. THEY ARENT!! they are burnt sienna, and match my living room perfectly


same pic without grills


here is the left surround QS8. (notice light switch plate as wire cover)


right surround QS8.


here is the captain of my HT, the ONKYO TX-SR701


and its buddy, the VP150. i had to put some support under the 150 to angle it down toward the listening area. it isnt the perfect scenario, but it sounds just fine.


and my attempt to be artsy-fartsy. the low angle 'action' shot. notice the custom cabinets. the color is classic oak. again, it must be the flash, cause in normal daylight, they match the EC beautifully. with flash, they look darker. but trust me, they match wonderful.


sorry, i got a little carried away with the pics. i just figured ya'll would want the full effect. and yes, i do have a sub.. its a vega(it was a little camera shy).

thanks again to everyone, and i couldnt be happier with my purchase.

hehe, nice setup

thx for sharing

=)

Gorgeous! And you didn't go overboard. I feel like you were just getting warmed up...I was hoping for some extreme closeups of the custom finish.

Anyway, I'm still really jealous. The installation is really clean and nice...

By the way, is that picture behind the EC a woman holding up a pair of diapers, or what?!

BEAUTIFUL!!!! That's an awesome job for someone "new to home theatre" Watch out though, here comes the onslaught of "why the crappy TV?" Once again, congrads.

Very nice! My TV looks to be roughly equivalent so no "crappy" comments from me. (Although I do eventually intend to replace mine.) As a side observation, your entertainment center seriously dwarfs the m60s!

Good stuff, BigJohn!

And the wife is happy with the colour match and install too?

capn- that is a pic of my wife, and she is leaning against a white column. i can see the diaper resemblence. in texas, if we "hold up" something in a picture, its usually a beer or something we just shot, or both.

spock- its a sharp 36 inch tube. i bought it like 6 years ago. it is definitely past its prime, but it still works, and after the chunk of change i just spent on the rest of the HT, i will hang on to it for a while. we are a little restricted as to the size TV we can get because of the EC. but i have measured, and the 42 inch plasma would fit in there nice and snug.

ringmir- yeah, it is a big ole' EC. you should try moving the SOB around the living room. the hardest part is taking the 300 or so cd's/dvd's/ and records out of it so it is light enought to move.

bren- the wife loves the cabinets and grills, and is OK with the install. she isnt very keen on me toeing in the speakers, but she will get used to it. and she wants the speaker wire above the surrounds to be "less visible", so i am gonna ordr some of those strips that stick to the wall and hide the wire, and just paint over it. problem solved!

I'm not knocking the TV. Sorry if it sounded that way. I was just referring to an old thread by Spiff about "TV upgrade-itis".

Everything looks GREAT, John. Just bring your wife to Cleveland, we'll show her a program or two on my HDTV........TV problem solved!

Wow, I never thought I'd see a setup that made M60s look small...

Looks great. What finish are they in, again? (Terrible memory, too lazy to look it up... )
