Frzninvt Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Man Raptor with those good sized Klipsch mains, and a itty bitty tiny little M&K center - Yikes! You really need a bigger center there is no way that thing can compete with the Klipsch's. Weren't you looking into a Klipsh center? I would be interested in the DBX 3BX-III if you still have.

Raptor22 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 yea, that was me, I'm posting from work and forgot my home login. I would truly love to have the Academy but the wife has put both feet down and will not approve any "frivilous" purchases. In her defense, she is deaf in one ear and almost so in the other (not joking here, we've been spending some quality time lately getting eardrum rebuilds for her).And while I'm here, let me take the oppurtunity to apologize to several folks for lack of followup on the Academy dealings.

Frzninvt Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I totally understand. Sorry to hear about your wife's hearing, mine was abused by fireams, heavy machinery, and car audio systems growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eq_shadimar Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 First off once again some great systems and theaters. They give me lots of ideas on how to finish mine up. Ok I have finally made some progress on my front projection system. Just a little background on the equipment. I purchased the notebook for a buck, the projector for $10.00, the Klipsch GMX 5.1 amp/sub/decoder for $50, the APEX DVD player for $50, and I have been collecting the Heresy's over a period of 4 years with a front projection system in mind. So this is really HT on the cheap. A friend of mine knew someone who was giving away a screen and he asked me if I wanted it. I said YES!. So I have finally have it mounted and this is what it looks like now. Before this the room was rotated 180 deg and I was projecting on the wall. Front Shot with the Screen up: Front Shot with the Screen down: Front Shot with no lights on in the room: Shot of the Projector, XBox, HTPC (Notebook), etc...

dougdrake Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hey there, eq - that's a great theater on a shoestring budget, for sure. Do you have room to pull the chairs further into the room and put the Heresy surrounds back towards the corners? They look like killer headphones as they are now Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of that and neither has anyone who has come over. I will give that a whirl this weekend. I am toying with the idea of mounting them up close to the ceiling but your idea may work as well. Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Jeff - You could also try putting the Heresy's in the corner and have them face into the corner, to difuse the sound so it's more reflected and less directional. OTOH, you might think that sucks, so whatever you like best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrake Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 psg - Have you tried sitting 2 feet away from a Heresy pointed at your head? The function of surrounds in a 5.1 theater system is to provide non-localized effects. Hard to achieve that with a speaker of that capacity firing directly at your ears. He can try it and change it back if he doesn't like it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Adams Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 My HT project started another phase today and I thought you guys might wanna see some trim work that's been done. This first pic shows what the room looked like before we decided to go the front projector route. And here's the room before the trim went in. And here's the installed trim. Now comes the puttying, caulking, painting, and wallpaper. Oh Laura.....it's your turn. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Tom, That looks great, keep the pics comming as you get it painted and the speakers hung. That looks like the same size and style room I will have when ever we get started on our addition to our house. I'm jealous...............

Northshore Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hey Tom, your room looks very similar to the room I recently completed. The trim work you are doing has been in the back of my mind since day one, could you tell the the height of the trim? I am simply curious of your room dimensions and wall height. Great job on the carpentry so far and please keep us posted. Northshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting the Heresy's in the corners and sitting further into the room would help quite a bit. But you're right. Anything is probably better than 2 feet away from a Heresy!

Tom Adams Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 This is getting kinda spooky Northshore....not only do we have similar rooms shape-wise, but I'm doing trim work you've thought about doing and you did some ceiling treatments I had thought about doing. Are we leading parallel lives???? Anywho....my kneewalls (the sides) are 6' high. The trim work started slight below that and was built out and then up. The top of the upper crown moulding is probably 6'8" or so. The columns are approx. 20" wide by 6" deep. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
