SVS makes some great gear. I hope you enjoy your gear for many years to come!

So this post is pretty outdated. I bought a new house and I have a dedicated HT area that I am working on. Eventually I'll end up painting, but that would take away from movie time so it could be a while.

Current Equipment:

BenQ HT2050
Silverticket 100" White screen
Denon X4300H
SVS Prime Center
SVS Prime Bookshelves
SVS Prime Satellite
SVS PB-2000
Pioneer BDP-150 Blu-Ray
HTPC - Blu-Ray / Movies / Gaming - I3-3220 - 8 GB RAM - 750ti 2GB - 7TB Storage - Dual 360 Controllers

I've made a few more updates. Added some black curtains to cut down on glare, added bass shakers to the couch, added four atmos speakers using some satellites I had laying around. Added a second sub and moved my gear into the laundry room, controlling everything with a Harmony Elite.










I also tried my hand at DIY speakers for the 2.1 system in the living room.









I know, I need to dust

Luckily we aren't right on top of each other, we have enough space between us. Adding the bass shakers helped tremendously though, I don't feel like I have to run the subs quite as hot.

They are pretty good, I have since replaced them though, they will end up in my garage. I decided since it was mainly for tv I needed a center channel. Thus my new upgrade below.

So I changed from the DIY speakers to a LCR SVS Prime setup, the DIY's were good, but this is just so much more clear, probably due to the center. I keep forgetting to paint the stands..



I also spent the past weekend painting the theater. It looks and feels so much better. I also changed to a Silver Ticket Grey screen and added LED back lighting. I prefer white lighting (which is what I run on my TV and PC monitor), the blue is supposed to be white... I'll probably change it to a pure white at some point.

Looks great! It's nice seeing how far it's come.

Replaced the Klipsch satellites with some in ceiling speakers. Much much better now. These guys sound great for the money. Micca Reference R-8C.

I moved the C-Notes out to the garage. I managed to pick up a Yamaha RX-V1065 receiver for $50 and a Polk PSW108 for $50. Not a bad little garage setup for $200. I also purchased a Umik-1 mic, I've been having a lot of fun with it. The C-Notes legitimately play down into the 30/40's (usable), but I crossed them at 60hz. Using REW I determined that they are best at 80hz. This is a horrible picture, but the bottom line is the C-Notes alone, the middle is crossed at 60hz running 2.1 and the top line is crossed at 80hz running 2.1. Obviously not the flattest response, but it's a garage and I'm happy with it

Any ideas on what is causing the massive dips above 250hz? I'm guessing it's related to the garage?
