Colin Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 nice set-up, I think the leather couch is essential and very classy, I limit myself to about 178 CDs, rotating out the ones that I do not use, what I can't believe is that somebody as young as Jason has nothing better to do than to spend so much time on a BBS that he has earned the "no life" appellation ... ------------------ Cornwalls & Klipsch subs; leather couch & feet up; lights out & tubes glowing!

dougdrake2 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Jesse - Looks great. I have a pair of KG4s, too, and I love them. Started out with them in my HT, but have since upgraded. I still use them in the living room, though. Looking at the pix, it's hard to tell how far away your couch is. If you haven't tried it, you might benefit by angling the center channel down so that you are looking straight into the throat of the horn. Also, I was curious. It looks like your rear speakers are at the side of the couch, pointed straight ahead. How does that work for creating the surround effects (non-localized)?

Doug My loveseat is 14 feet from the screen. I know it's a little too far for this screen size (46") but I would have gotten a beating from the Mrs. if I brought home a 55" or 65". I am trying to find a product for my center channel that would give me the effect you described. Got any ideas? Anyone? The surrounds speakers sound great to me in this position. My wife suggested that I angle them more towards the seating position but I haven't tried it yet. I will soon. I just acquired the SB-1 and stands this weekend. quote: Originally posted by James D McCall: hey jess, somebody bent yer cd rack! Yeah, it happened after a wild party!

dougdrake2 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 "I am trying to find a product for my center channel that would give me the effect you described. Got any ideas? Anyone? " I think you are referring to something that will tilt the SC-1, right? Perhaps part of a tennis ball, cut appropriately to give you enough tilt, slid under the rear of the unit might do the trick? You may need to put something in front of it to keep it from sliding off the front of the TV, though. Maybe you could use 2-sided tape and put a small strip of cork in front of the speaker to act as a lip... Your wife might be on to something on the rear speakers - maybe move them a little into the corners and angle them at the couch. Or, you might turn them 180 degrees when watching a movie so the sound will reflect off the rear walls/corners and be less localized. Experiment -- whatever sounds good to you is right.

soundog Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Nice setup. I lived in a number of Manhattan Apartments a number of years ago. I love to visit but I also love the ability to let my systems "rip", something its impossible to do in an apartment and still remain friendly with your neighbors. Especially problematic is low bass. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseNYC Posted November 22, 2001 Author Share Posted November 22, 2001 Although I try not to bust the sound barrier too often, I live in a rock solid pre-war building. I barely hear my neighbors at all. If they do hear me, they're not complaining about it. ------------------ -JesseNYC Home Theater Setup Mitsubishi WT-46807 Denon AVR-1400 Technics SH-AC500D DTS/Dolby Digital Decoder Mitsubishi DD-6000 Progressive Scan DVD Fronts/Klipsch KG-4 Center/Klipsch SC-1 Surrounds/ Klipsch SB-1 Sub/ Klipsch KSW10 SA-2000HD Digital/HD Cable box Sony Stereo VHS Bell'o AV Table and Speaker Stands Phillips TSU2000 Universal Remote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedrummin Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 JesseNYC, Nice set up. Question(s) - What make/model speaker stands are you using for your SB-1 speakers? They look like they're adjustable, if so how adjustable. I know this will sound dumb , but here goes - how are the speakers attached to the stands? I have a pair of Klipsch RB5 II speakers and I need to get stands. I like the looks of the ones you're using. Thanks for any input/info you can provide.

LEW Bell'O Speaker Stands SSP-11 Cable Management System (CMS) for hiding power cords and interconnect cables; Adjustable rear surround sound speaker stand. Two (2) center screw holes and velcro strips for mounting speakers. Holds speakers up to 8 lbs. Dimensions: 40 to 58 (h) Adjustable 5-1/8 x 5-1/8 Top Plate I am using the velcro to hold the speakers down. It's very sturdy! My speakers are only 9 lbs. This is 1 lb. over the recommended weight. Your speakers are 20+ lbs. You need a sturdier stand.

lovedrummin Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Thanks for the info & pictures. You're right about the speaker weight - mine are 23 lbs. I'll have to check out the Bell'o site. LEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 You're indeed fortunate to have a pre-war apartment. I have a 1939 house that's built like a brick s...house and lived in an old apartment in Brooklyn years ago that was pretty soundproof but was also very cold. They sure don't make buildings like that anymore! Even better if it's rent controled or stabalized. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
