colterphoto1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm digging those recliners! Are those Coaster brand? The color is awesome, probably more acceptable to the other half. I like the room but are the front lineup easily heard by folks in the back row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Michael - Thanks for the comments. Yup those are the Coaster Showtimes in taupe. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the all the front speakers have about a 2" riser under them. I used a laser pointer and aimed the tweeters just a bit below the ear height of the second row. Due to the riser height calculation that also happens to be the correct height for people sitting in the front row as well. It sounds awesome in either row. I am going to hold a listening session soon so I will get some second opinions at that time but for now I am a happy camper.

Tom Adams Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Nice....very nice indeed. You did an awesome job with a fairly small room. One thing though......... Talk to me about them rear surrounds that are facing into the corners. You trying to be funny or what???? [] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to me about them rear surrounds that are facing into the corners. You trying to be funny or what???? [] Tom Tom - Thanks for the nice comments. Now the rear surrounds, I know it looks weird but it is one of the sacrficies of cramming that theater into the room. Pointing the Heresys into the corners allow them to diffuse the rear effects. Having them pointed into the room really just did not produce the same enveloping sound field for movies. Ideally if the room was wider I would have had them on the sides. If it was longer I would have had them to the rear and sides. My first thought was to hang them, but once again the room is working against me. I mocked up a speaker box and it was just to close to being a head cracker. I may do above and in the back but actually it sounds really good as is so I am going to wait until after a couple of listening sessions with fellow Klipsch heads before I make any radical changes.

eq_shadimar Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ok well I switched the speaker pairs around and put the lighter ones in the back. I also added some end tables and lighting. Here is that shot: I also upgraded my equipment rack; Before After: Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 There are some folks coming over this weekend and I realized that I had not posted updated pictures since I installed my actual 2.35 screen with custom borders. So here are the updates. The screen is a Da-lite Model C manual pulldown with their High Power material. It has a viewable area of 52"x122.25" with 4" borders on each side, 23" border on the bottom, and a 6" border on the top. Here is the screen installed Some screenshots. These are with and without the theater lights on (in real life the image is just over 10 feet wide!): Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenzip Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Wow. Nice job with the room. Screenies look spectacular, I bet the sound is at least that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Amazing set up.. Love it... Wish there was a adaptor sometimes to get that 2.35 back down to a HD image size too. I have a 106" screen, so it is not too bad, but so much so more amazing when the whole screen is used... Your Right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Thanks guys! I am enjoying the heck out of it. Indy your setup is far from shabby so wow thanks [:|] Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
