jdm56 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 nothing much new except the "old" 26" tee-vee (18+yrs.!) sitting on belle till i can afford to upgrade to maybe a 50" lcd rear-projector. the curtains cover rpg pro-foam panels. does it look ok, or is it just incredibly tacky? (i have no interior decorating skills - obviously) sorry for the poor pic. this room has no windows and is in a basement, so the lighting for pictures is not good. ideal for h/t though! ps - why do pics come out like they're blown up? ...i hate when that happens.

T_Shomaker Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 IMO you should get rid of those curtains and put a poster up over each one or post a pic of what it looks like without the curtains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Sounds great! I like the decoration especially the Bud light bottle strategically place on the Khorn. In a basement room I used to have I had a couple of fake window/light boxes with curtains. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Negatory on the Bud Light. That's a Singha, from Thailand. Good stuff! Of course Bud Light's good stuff, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Reguardless the type of beer, it would be a shame to leave a water mark on K horns too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I think it looks fine. Who cares anyway. I'll bet it sounds great! Maybe some large unframed prints or posters would look nice instead but for me it wouldn't be too high on my priority list. Another option would be something hanging from the ceiling on each side (in front of the curtains) to take attention away from the curtains.

tillmbil Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I thought the same thing, is that beer just for decoration? A coaster underneath is a must. Oh yeah, the curtain thingy. Nix the curtains, maybe some wood blinds with matching color to the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm56 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 oops...it's the same pic -- don't bother looking. About the curtains - yeah, posters would look better, but they would kinda defeat the purpose of the RPG panels, at least at higher frequencies. And that bottle - just CHILL, y'all! It's been dry for over two years. It's just there for decoration, plus it's a memento of our last trip to Thailand, in October of '01, when we brought our youngest son home.

Klipschfoot Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Lose the fake trees. Paint the wall a flat, dark muted color to watch your tv against and to lessen the effect of large wood boxes of your beautiful Legends. A mistake a lot of audio folks make is creating an audo shrine. That is hard to avoid when one is so proud of his hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighting IS the problem when it comes to getting decent pictures in my music room. No windows, and only 4 45W floods in the ceiling, plus a 40W pole lamp on the rear wall. Also, my digital camera is a pretty basic (AKA CHEAP) 2.1 Megapixel from H-P. I don't think there are sizing options, only three resolution settings plus one zoom mode. I can resize the pic on the PC though. I'll try that next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleve Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Wonderful speakers! I wished I could magically morph some copies into my HT. And there's something very whimsical/amusing about the fact that your 'center channel' speaker dwarfs the TV!! Bet there aren't many Bose owners who can say that!

jdm56 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 "Whimsical" Yeah, that's me allright! Oh, and about that TV - It's basically just used for on-screen-displays and for solo tee-vee-ing. Not for HT. I have a ratty old 46" Magnavox in another room for that home theatre thang. But SOMEDAY, lookout: klipsch audio, and widescreen lcd hdtv technology WILL come together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
