USNRET Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I suppose I will find out where the angle formed by left and right half walls puts the sweet spot or if I need to build moveable corners for toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed that because of the pics I was looking at which only showed the right two-thirds of the front end. See below photos of left corner (as viewed) I sure wish that fireplace was gone. We were going to remove it when we bought this place for that very reason but we were lacking about 3 sq ft of left over tile that was unobtainium to finish the floor uncovered by removing. Yeah, I see that now. In a strange way, seeing that left side doesn't make finding an optimum setup better, it makes it worse! Subs behind couch is NOT gonna happen. You don't need to ask why.LOL! Yeah, you're right. My bad. The front wall is 14' across from fireplace corner to doorway and sitting position is 10' back from the front of Belle plane. It will be interesting to see what your final configuration is. I've already proven, I have no idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't miss it, there are only two in the shots the third was removed (using phantom) and sitting idle. I will probably take subs out and then move at least one to left side wall for HT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Ten feet back should work for having them in corners. I've heard the Khorns closer than that or at least very similar and it's awesome near field listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 About the only options I see is to put enclosed panels on your new Ks. Or build false corners for them to sit in. The right door way pic could be made into a corner pretty easy but then the left side would need enclosed backs to not block the fire place.

USNRET Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Fire place is never used so not worried there but the small section of wall filler where fireplace joins front wall is at an angle so it can't be easily extended at a 90* angle to front. I will be back from trip sometime during the week of 9-13 Jan with them toys so I can start mocking up, give me a couple of weeks to dream up a story about where they came from . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enclose the backs and be done. It only takes about 3 hours ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldred Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm sure everything will fit just perfectly...you can figure out the whole sub thing later...When I was at Derricks for the GTG he had a sub kind of built into a corner table between the couches. Just get the Khorns in....and relax for a weekend or so....Then figure the rest out. George, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not screw into the bass bin anywhere they are attached to the braces of the side grills and the braces of the tailboard. I always use 3/4" birch plywood.

I have been jamming for a few hours! The wife and son came out and both commented on how great it sounds; corners must be divine. I'll tell you this, no two support pieces are in the same place. I went a different way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
