Completely redone HT... what do you all think?

[GBMidge7]

Hey, guys... I posted a thread the other day with a story about the new Samsung Plasma that I just got. Well... it's here! As a result, I re-did my entire home theater/living room to best accomodate the tv. I replaced the pics of my old HT with the new ones... please rate and let me know what you think. Any constructive criticism is also welcome

I'm digging the new layout. I left a comment.

Looks great ! The only thing I could see would be to move you front L/R apart more if you can . Even if you have to move them forward some to get them farther apart . The front sound stage will sound much better !

The picture on those newer TVs are really great. Makes me want to switch mine out....Eventually....Actually, I think it's best if I just let mine run it's course and die naturally.

I really like how you hid your wiring for that surround along the line of the stairs. Do you own or rent?

At the moment I just rent... if I owned, those wires would be IN the walls, haha. But for renting, I think I did a pretty good job without having to cut large holes or remove pieces of wall The raceways were lifesavers in that regard, too... I just have to cover the nails I used with a little white spackle or something, since their silver look sort of stands out.

PS, I commented in your thread and asked where you got that multi-tiered shelf? It looks amazing and would match my cyrrent TV stand very well!

Thanks.

This is the audio rack that I bought.

Right now it's at ~$420 shipped, however I bought it at $260 shipped.

I think racksandstands.com has the same one. Not sure though.
http://www.racksandstands.com/Bush-F...03-BU1849.html
$375 shipped.

There is another member on here that has the matching TV rack - which looks just as good. These are excellent pieces of furniture. Very pleased with it.

So if any of you know my responses...Tv looks great. Speaker placement fronts Sep-A-Rate. The Sub looks like in that corner, it might be muddled (not down firing right) move it. That picture on the stairs needs to be hung, its like an award or something. And the dog looks like he needs to take a poop. Good job buddy! Oh the rears do not look very symmetrical. Did you calibrate?

I will try to separate the fronts, but there is limited room, so we'll see. Not down-firing, correct... I am giving it a little time in that spot, then I will move it to another, and so on, until I find the best spot. The "picture" is my diploma from undergraduate college, and I COMPLETELY forgot it was there when I took the pics, and I agree that I definitely need to hang it somewhere! The dog already pooped, just caught her in an awkward stance Thank you And yes, I did calibrate, especially compensating for the rears, seeing as how that's about the only way I could set them up with my given space. No weird sound phasing or anythign like that! And thanks, that is what I call constructive criticism!
