Quiet_Hollow Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Quiet_Hollow Is it just me or is that Blu Ray player 36" wide LOL... more like 17". That television (an older CT-20G23W) measures only 20" diagonal. [:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wake, one day we need to work on a project together so I can glean from your craftsmanship. I've seen it in person and it's every bit of classy as it looks in the pic. Beautiful job my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yes the other one drew to much attention to itself and away from the screen. Wonder how hard it will be to sell the other one. Maybe a pawn shop would give me $50 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build Thread:http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/173169.aspx?PageIndex=12 Very nice! Don't let my wife see that! She wanted a stone side wall in the HT room but I was worried that it would be an acoustical nightmare. How do you find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakeJunkie Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Very nice! Don't let my wife see that! She wanted a stone side wall in the HT room but I was worried that it would be an acoustical nightmare. How do you find it? I went from bare concrete and drywall to stone. I would say it is an improvement over the flat wall. I went from a hard flat wall to a hard heavily textured wall that breaks up the reflections better. Honestly the best thing I did for that room acoustically (and comfort) is the giant 8ft memory foam bean bag from http://www.comfysacks.com/comfy-sacks. The high pitch slap echo is the area I saw reduction with the stone. I have the acoustic foam for panels that will be placed primarily around the pool table area and rear wall. I will have to test with the panels near the screen to see if it makes enough difference to bother with. I am concerned about how to build ascetically pleasing panels in a room with this wood/stone feel. I like the look I have built and don't want to screw that up.

Hey Wake, just a thought but a lot of companies will make panels / fabric with your high resolution photos. You could take photo's of your actual stone and have those images made to order. These would blend in nicely mounted to your stone areas....here's a couple to consider....... http://www.acoustimac.com/acoustic-panels/acousticart-panels/ http://www.atsacoustics.com/art-acoustic-panels.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Very nice youth. Have you ever considered a darker carpet? I have a light color too and have been thinking about going to a dark gray. My carpet is only 4years old though. Was new when i bought the home. So it kills me to think about ripping out pretty new carpet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
