The Dude Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Inder19 very nice room, nice rooms to all who have posted lately. By the way were have you guys all been getting our oc703 from I am problems finding it here locally. There is one source I called but they keep recommending other products like actual acoustic panels of some sort. thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokarz Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 look for an SPI center local to you. http://www.spi-co.com/ call around the local hvac suppliers/distributors. remember, OC 703 is not the end all be all. there are other similar materil (in a way, some are almost identical) Johns Mansfield (JM 814) CertainTeed Knauf check this link for other alternatives besides the OC 703 http://www.bobgolds.com/AbsorptionCoefficients.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Johns Mansville and Certain Teed products are made right here in McPherson, KS. I just put in some Johns Mansville acoustic insulation in my HT build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornfedksboy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hey! I didn't think there was anyone from Kansas here. I actually graduated from Augusta, but lived on the west side of Wichita for two different periods of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerocowboy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So excited: I've been plugging along happily for a couple years with a 50" Samsung plasma, blu-rays, Dish, and a 360, but have heretofore largely ignored the audio side of things. No longer. I've finally upgraded beyond my using my laughable college-era Altec Lansing ACS641 4.1 computer setup as "home theater" speakers to something I expect to be truly wonderful: Fronts: 2x RF-52II Center: RC-52 II Surround: 2x RB-41 II Amp: Yamaha RX-V667 Got it all from various sources for a pretty good (?) overall price of $1250. For now, I'm (over!)spent, and will have to be satisfied on the low end with my old Altec sub (200W, 2x6.5") until the tide passes. In any case, I'm sure this will be *orders of magnitude* better than what I had before, and last me for *many* years to come (I promised my wife). So... everything is here now and installed. As requested, here's a photo of the front setup. These may not be as massive as some of the enthusiast setups here, but WOW - for me, this entry-level Reference-line setup is just a striking, incredible upgrade. I've got the pair of RB-41s on simple Sanus stands in the back. Just awesome. You may notice that I couldn't resist pushing my budget further and ended up getting a sub. I found a BIC V1220 on Craigslist for $100, and it seems to be serving the setup well. I'm busy blitzing through great audio scenes from some good-quality Blu-rays (Avatar, Transformers, Inception, etc.) and will listen to a bit of the Dave Matthews Blu-ray next. I'm thrilled after these first few hours, but the best part is that I have years and years to keep enjoying it all. Thanks again, forum.

cornfedksboy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Looks great! Congrats on the set up. Give it a couple of days for the speakers to break in and they'll really sweeten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatz Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Here is my lil setup. I just replaced F-3s with these today.

Plan on mounting the TV on the wall in the future to clean things up a bit. Additional: Integra 6.9, Samsung LNA750, PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatz Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Front and Center ( Why only half the pic shows baffles me. Any idea?) Sides Rears Just bought these today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Looks fantastic! Well half of it anyway. [] ( Why only half the pic shows baffles me. Any idea?)...It has to do with picture sizing. Whatever size is loaded standard on MS viewer is too big for forum. I had the same problem and had to put it in MS paint and shrink it to make it fit.
