JeffDurbin Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Does anyone want to wager on how many sentences in this thread actually have anything to do with the 18 year old's bedroom system? What a total hijack! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Good stuff! When I was 18 I had a pair of La Scala's and I still have them! Good gear stays with you a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 do your components get hot in that rack,left speaker is to close to the wall,to much reflection off that wall, toe them in a little,somethings got to give, side to side for better speaker placement an are the tweeters at ear level. No, just warm, the nad has 3 fans on the bottom. I had my receiver and cd player on for 10 hrs at one time which is far more than ever. That was a rare day. With that in mind, it was just warm, easily touchable for a long time. Does it look like i have an option for left speaker placement. They are slightly toed in but not much. There isn't much room for fine adjusting. I gaurantee u it sounds quite fine. By somethings got to give, do u mean moving something away from the front wall, so i can toe the speakers better. I thought i already said i have to work with what i have with the size room and all. There isn't a place to do any such thing of that nature. And as for the tweeters, they are probably a little below my ear level, given that i'm only 9' away, my bed is kind of high, 2' or so, and my speakers stand 33" tall, so i really don't know the angle of ear to tweeter, but take my advice it sounds might fine. Maybe it could even sound better but with this room it is set the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a quite few good remarks though so that's cool. Even if there wasn't, my mind obviously wouldn't change with what i have. I like to see what people say, because other people posted their klipsch theater so why not mine i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisc Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 good attitude man, I think everyone here suffers from chronic upgradeitis and always can find room for improvement. For example I have two subs that are capable of some serious output and I am about ready to go nuts due to my crappy little living room. Dont have the response I want from them. Look on the bright side atleast you dont have a green upholstered rocker that looks like Colters, that chair is older than you and me combined. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hey, that was my grandfathers chair, and is the most comfortable one you'll ever sit in. It is on the back porch now though. Got 4 black leather coaster recliners in that same position today. Now you're just being cruel Travis! THanks man. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a skinner equipment rack ,throw the CDs in a draw,inches gained 5''+3\4''MDF+a pinch lets call it 6'',now you have 3" to play with on each side, but what really ticks Johny'Holiday off, is there could be a standing wave, between that left wall, an that right entry way wall,try a defuser like a wall hanging, or throw some pillows up on the TV, you have enough room the center speaker is so high,an a different antenna system,the scotch tapes got to go bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they are sf-1's. I know there could be improvement like anything, but if u knew my room simple rearrangement becomes not so simple. The only thing i would do is move the sub to make more room but that sub sounds the best there and only there. I know it's not asking much, but i guarantee u i this, i would if i could. It's not as easy to move stuff around as u guys think, take my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your happy, nice system and room. O, ok, i understand. My answer is i sure will be. 2 channel is what will continuosly get better. Home theater is good enough for me right now and for a lot longer than 2 channel will be. I am starting to listen to music a lot more than movies. It used to be split 50/50. Now it might be 75% music, 25% movies. In the last month since the cd player it's been like 95% music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 It's not easy, is it. You post pictures because you're happy about your setup and you weren't really looking for criticism. But it's true that as good as it sounds now it might sound better if you changed a few things around. Try the center speaker on the TV for a few days (if it's stable there) and see if the lower position sounds better since the tweeters will be closer to the height of those in your main speakers (but still high). If that's works better, lower the shelf the center is currently on. Subs generally don't have to be on the front wall. Mine sounded great right behind my couch; it had more slam. Try it next to your bed is there's room. If you also moved the CD tower to some other place (or in a drawer as previously suggested), you could move your speakers away from the side walls a little or toe them in more. The standing wave issue is because both your speakers have a wall on their outer side. Therefore a sound wave can bounce back and forth there and resonate (a standing wave), leading to a boomy sound. These are only suggestions to make it sound better than it already does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thank you, i take criticism of this nature in a good way though. I'll tell u about my center why it is on the shelf up some. I noticed when my center was on top of the tv, u could hear a noise that's hard to explain about a foot away. I know it probably doesn't matter when a movie is on, cause u probably cant hear it. But it will put this sound through the speaker, when it is sitting on the tv when the tv is on. The center can be even disconnected. It only does it on tube tv's. Trust me, i put them in the two places back and forth, and the difference in sound was very little, and i have had it on the wall now for like near 2 yrs. I tried the sub like on the side wall in the corner, but it was only like 2 ft away from me and was way too bassy. I mean, gosh it was like right beside me, no wonder it was so bassy, but it was just not a good bass. That cd tower is part of the av cabinet. I appreciate the suggestions though. I think this clears things up better why i have it the way i do. I would like more room in the front and the sub is the only thing to move, i could try it, in front of my left speaker along the side wall, but it's amazing how it didn't sound as good as where it's at now, but i am more experienced with music than i was a yr ago, so i should try it again. It would give me 5 in. on each side with the sub out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Okay. Be sure to turn the sub volume down if you place it right next to you. The best way to calibrate it is with a calibration DVD such as Avia, and an SPL meter. I turned mine way down when I did that (and any boominess went away) . It was up too loud setup "by ear".
