440Films Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Rear Shot. The Surrounds are not Klipsch. I haven't figured out yet if the RS-42's will fit correctly as they will hang much lower. The front Presence speakers are from the reference line so I want the rest of the ambiance speakers to have similar drivers. I had a 7.1 set up in the past. To my taste the sound from center rears leaves me wanting more. I am very happy with 5.1 surround with sound sprayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Nice looking set up, I like your speaker wire do you have any info maybe I will Google the brands you have down. I mainly like the look of them also hows the bass I noticed that your living room opens to your kitchen I will have the same situation. duder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440Films Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks. The speaker wire is Canare Star Quad wrapped with TechFlex. The bass is good even though the room opens up to a dining room and kitchen. I played around with the placement and the corner worked out. For me I wanted a compromise between aesthetics and acoustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at your pics, RS-42s would fit on the side walls which is the recommended placement for surround speakers in a 5.1 setup. I think you'd love the 42s.

ender21 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I haven't figured out yet if the RS-42's will fit correctly as they will hang much lower. Looks like the RS42s would be too tall to fit at the bottom of the vault. You'd have to shift the speaker a few inches closer to center, or as Wuzzzer suggested, shift them to the sides.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2009 Your system looks nice but I'm trying to figure out what benefit the bookshelf speakers under your center channel would offer. With them being close together, and not angled upward towards the listening area, just not sure how they would enhance the sound. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thaddeus Smith Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Nice looking set up, I like your speaker wire do you have any info maybe I will Google the brands you have down. I mainly like the look of them also hows the bass I noticed that your living room opens to your kitchen I will have the same situation. duder I'm in the process of offering DIY speaker wires and interconnects. canare star quad is the same stuff I'll be using and the total cable cost will be $2/ft +$5 for terminations of your choice (per wire). I'll be offering up some review samples as I get closer to marketing; send me a PM if you'd like the speaker wire slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasileso Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i dont know where to put them. i coud not fin a picture for the presence speakers set up. i was thinking to put them in top of the front speakers but i dont know. any help is welcome. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted November 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2009 The "Presence Speakers" are designed to be placed high above the main speakers. Take a look at page 12 of your owner's manual. Here is the diagram from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
