bacevedo Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Here are my home theater pics. Let me know what you think. We just had the custom media niche built. I designed it, and my father-in-law's construction company built it. The kitchen is to the left of the seating position (I am standing in the kitchen taking the shot of the seating position). It's hard to tell, but the ceilings are 11 feet tall, and my TV is a 60" TV. The pics make it all look smaller than it really is. Enjoy! Bryan ------------------ "...

belial Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Very nice! Wish I could have my TV recessed in the wall like that. I wonder how having your sub in that niche affects the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 beautiful media center - really nice - I couldn't have done it any better myself - I couldn't have done it period - the kitchen is also very nice - needs white Quintets snuggled in between the cabinets ... ------------------ HORNS & subs; leather couch & feet up; lights out & tubes glowing!

bacevedo Posted October 24, 2001 Author Share Posted October 24, 2001 belial - thanks! I haven't had a chance to really tweak it yet, since I have a 9 month old son, and I have to wait until him and mom are gone to play, so I don't know how the sub will sound in there. But so far, it sounds better than where it was before. There is about 15 inches behind the sub port to the back wall - so it has plenty of room to breathe behind it. Also, the niche has a large 4 inch hole in the back top (behind the compononents) to let the sub vent, and where I can put a fan to vent out the compononent area. Above the components are two 4 inch holes (behind the right speakers) that allow all of the heat to rise out. The same for the TV, it has two of these 4 inch holes to let heat rise out. We used some PVC pipe, cut to fit, and they are finished perfectly. It was a well done job. I actually want to upgrade my sub to either a Velodyne SPL1200 (which would fit perfectly there) or an RSW 12 - but I am concerned about the rear firing driver in that niche - it may not be enough room to let it breathe. Or it could really enhance the bass - it is more than corner loaded! The other option is to get an SVS and put it in the back corner behind the couch (where the tree is right now). My wife isn't thrilled about that though, as she likes her tree there! Colin - the speakers put plenty of sound into the kitchen! No need for any more! A few things need to be done - hanging the pictures back on the walls after painting, adding shelves and a smoked glass door to the components area, and some little trim work, backlighting in the top 3 niches, and some uplighting on top of the media niche. You can actually see the exposed wires waiting for the fixtures on the top. Adding some dimmer switches and I should be all set!
