SuBXeRo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Your setup has come a long way, congrats, hope you are enjoying it. It looks great! Why is your sub stuffed in the dorner like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 @subxero yeah not really sure about my sub placement. To be honest the A5-350's are so big the room doesn't feel or look right with the subs out front between my center and fronts. I'll post a shot of where I put the other sub as well. When I get the new onkyo I'll try to figure out the best placement for them. I originally wanted them for the front too but just don't think I like them there. Maybe I should have bought some smaller subs? This is the placement of my 2nd A5-350. It's under the stairs facing the main seating position. It also happens to be against the back wall. My seating is only 10.5 feet from the screen.Putting the subs between the 64 and the 62's would place them about 7 feet from my face. It's not that they did not sound good up front but just didn't look right. I thought I would try them placed out of the way and see if the sound quality decreases. I have only had 2 movies with the current set up so I need more time. BUt honestly so far it's hard to tell. Perhaps when the Onkyo arrives and I run the multiXT it will make a bigger difference.

JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 BTW SubXero... glad to hear your moving to the east coast. There doesn't seem to be many forum regulars out here. Really the only other member I have knowledge of is the guy that bought my black 64ii. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd say you chose well for subs, i have heard those really are great subs. As far as size, im afriad you are gonna have to do the sub crawl, see how they sound in different places and from different listening positions. In the end you have to choose between asthetics or sound Your distance is slightly, and i do mean slightly longer than mine is so i sympathize with you as far as having a sub or two 7 feet from your face. Something smaller may have been beneficial in your case if you test and find out that the best place is just in the front. Interesting how you have it setup though, once again though, nice setup!

cornfedksboy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Looks good! I do like your choice in going with the cherry Reference line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 definately like the old feet better. How are you liking the subs Jason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestelder Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Awsome setup mate! Shoot, with this picture i really can see how big the RC 64 is! I cant wait when i have mine together with the RF 82's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I love the subs so far. Just having trouble with them being so big and my space being on the smallish size. Gotta find the right placement. Basically alot of bass no matter where they are. I'll get them dialed in with the new onkyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah the cherry is nice especially the rc64ii. The real wood veneer can't be compared to the vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Do the subs fit under the screen? If you move the mains out a bit and toe them in and then put the subs between them and the center, that might look pretty bada$$. Good looking set up either way, and nice to see the beer fridge down there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah they fit. I actually had to move the screen up to get them to fit. The problem is they are so deep and my seating position is only 10 feet from the screen. Kinda in your face. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2011 My vote is for the original feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You mean the mark2 feet they came with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2011 You mean the mark2 feet they came with? Sorry, I meant the original RF-7 feet, not the new RF-7ii feet. I like the older version of the feet better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBitRates Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Those would look sort of cool on the rc-64ii. Sort of like the paradigm cc-690 v.5. I think maybe a metal version of the previous model feet too might be interesting, they could have copper accents on them or something.

JasonJCarney Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah that's a great idea. My only issue is my rc64 Is not very big. I'll try them and post a pic. Did I mention how much I love the cherry veneer on the rc64ii? Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
