[/IMG]O.K. guys I just want to get opinions/help on what you think, I have a 52in sharp,wall mounted, I have def tech bp10s as fronts def tech 3000 center,def tech bi polars rears and jamo satellites for the 7.1 effect,jbl sub,all being run by onkyo 705 my home theater room looks great, But is small,14 x 8,I can seat 4 ppl, 2x2.I have been thinking I should move everything to living room which is 20x 14 so I can seat more ppl.My issue is mounting the tv,because I dont want it on a stand and I dont want to view it above the mantle(too high)do you think it would look like crap mounted to the brick(possibly to low) I have a leather sectional in there that I dont want to replace,also will size of the room make the tv look small.Thanks

size of the room won't make the t.v. look small... that depends on how far away you sit from it.... The size of the room may make your Sub feel too small though, but there's always upgrading

As far as above the mantle, or on brick etc.... I'd have to see the room....

You could always invest in one of the swing-arm wall mounts so you can mount the t.v. in a corner

my wife assured me that it's not the size of the object, it's how you use it...

i jus posted the pics on my last replies

Mmmm that looks like a real cozy and intimate room. It reminds me of that scene in star wars where they are trapped in the garbage crusher and the walls are closing in on them. But back on subject

It would all depend on how capable you are of moving all that stuff out in the living room. Like proper placement for the tv...you dont want to be staring up at it, proper position for speaker placement and so on. Do you have a lot of company where its a problem to watch a movie in the other room?

Thanks for the help,my daughter posted the pics

No worries. Well looking by the pictures, the first thing that comes to my mind besides tv placement is where would you put your towers? Behind the two chairs? Or would you be moving some stuff around?

[gandytime]

Chairs are leaving keep sectional, possibly cover bookshelves,I think above on the mantle is too high,we dont use the fireplace thats why its covered up

well I dont know. If you could mount the tv low enough and have the proper speaker placement then I would go for it
