Heritage_Head Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 how high is your ceiling refhead? ever think of hanging them from up above? I love the looks of the cherry.... I wish they sold rb51ii's in cherry. 8ft and I did look at that as an option. Was probably the biggest reason I never did the rears because I couldn’t make up my mind how I wanted it. I hate wires and the whole basement is finished so coming up and down would have been tuff without running wire across at least some part of the celling. I’m glad I did it this way because having them at a different height level than the rs-62ii fills that whole area behind me really good. I really like how 5.1 sounds with all four back and side speakers running the surround. Compared to just the side surrounds. And of course 7.1 is really cool to. I turn my avr to the auto source function A.F.D (guess it looks for the highest possible source) not sure if it’s running pro2x or what but they all run all the time when watching TV or blu rays. Unless it’s just a 2 channel source. Yes the cherry looks very nice. I was actually surprised how nice. I love black speakers but these were the ones on sale so I took a chance that they would look good. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Reference Head, that is a VERY nice setup. Everything is in just the right place and the best you would want and arrange in that space for 7.1 ! Note: My Onkyo is setup to 'auto detect' the source as well. But I NEVER use any mode that starts with the word 'PRO' it always means it is matrixed or mixed from 'other' channels. Its 'descrete' or bust for me [] Goes back to the Pro Logic days of old ....[8-)] ...........Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually would not comment but to suggest this is optimal would be a disservice to the rest of the forum members. I call this the "Happy Meal Syndrome". Quantity over quality.

Quantity over quality.So you are saying NOT to have any headroom??? You say quanity over quality?? That is plain silly because I see a LOT of quality in his set-up! So I guess my set-up is the same...well I dont like Mcdonalds. Another point is this.... it is HIS system and he is very proud of what he has and he should be, is there a real reason to knock his system?

Perhaps placing the surrounds and HT screen eight foot off the ground along with two chairs in front of your mains would be a more ideal lay-out?[] Here's a link to wescott's room I pulled out of his profile: http://community.webshots.com/user/jbwestcott By the way jbw, that room is absolutely stunning![Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than his chairs in front of his speakers and the side surrounds a few feet higher than mine it’s very close to the same lay out isn’t?

GWSmith Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Westcott...... DO NOTE, that I mentioned 'that space' ..... It is also the 7.1 'spec' position for the speakers. SURROUNDS to the side (like YOURS) and BACK surrounds to the rear ! My setup is exactly the same outside of speaker heights such as yours... Now, your setup is nice, but again, you are dealing with a LIVINGROOM theater and NOT a dedicated room such as Mr. Reverence. So you have conversational chairs in the foreground, and I don't know how you can see your electronics if you do have IR or a wireless remote system going there, the room is also SO spacious and outside of the drapes to ONE side of the room, it looks like you could run all your surrounds in MONO and still get a decent, natural delay / reverb... If I were to be critical, those issues would appear 'quirky' to me. Happy Meal Syndrome ?!? [*-)]..........end of commentary [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
