Moderators Youthman Posted November 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2009 Gardear, James is right. We all love seeing other people's setup, no matter how small they are and even if they aren't dedicated theaters. Reality is that most people do not have the opportunity to have a dedicated theater room. I didn't until we bought our first house and my wife and I have been married for 12 years. We were able to buy a new construction house that was almost finished and had a "media room". There are people all through this thread that have great setups with the Synergy line...there are probably some that have posted with the Quintets. It's all good. I tend to believe that the majority of forum members are here to encourage each other. You've got a great setup. How many people do you personally know that have a setup as nice as you? I know no one in my family and none of my friends even have a surround sound setup except for the HTIB type. So enjoy what you have, look for deals when you can and the wife gives you the [Y] because that's important in any healthy marriage, and be sure to post some pics of your setup. We would love to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblio Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 very nice room. i bet the back of that tv gets hot Thanks, I joke that the fireplace that it is is front of can be well simulated by a DVD, the temp is about the same. We used to have it setup against the left wall and just moved it, we think this works better even with the window on the right halfway in the Khorn.

Oblio Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 oblio - very nice - love the khorns - i can only imagine how great they sound KHorns make great mains in HT, I'm currently thinking of pulling the trigger on Danley DTS-10 tapped horn for a sub. The KHorns do pretty good without a sub but I want something that will fill out the lower LFE octaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_66 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My living room is open to the entry and dining room. Shallow and wide, but the vaulted accousic ceiling is a nice bonus. After setting up the tv, I realised I needed a much darker front wall. The front wall and all walls toward the front of the house are a dark green. The opposite walls are the same color but lightened up. This keeps the media area darker while not darkening the whole area. Right now I'm in a transition period. I have stock '82 Cornwalls up front, an RC35 in the center, and my RB5's in the back. I know it's not the optimal set-up, but I'm only a couple months into it. The Cornwalls will be going under the knife soon. I'm doing my research now on building the horns for the mid and which drivers to use. Here's the build thread> http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/125260.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Very cool place, given the ceilings would love to see a shot of the outside. Very nice wall color choices. If the Kitchen is original I am guessing it was built in the late 70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superedge88 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 GO66 I noticed that your surround speakers are aimed towards your fireplace, what made you decide to aim them so far away from the listener? Just curious to see what your reasoning is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
