have a look. I'm replacing the onkyo HTiB L and R with Polk Monitor 50's tomorrow, so i should see a noticeable improvement hopefully in sound.

UPDATE:

Moved into a new place with new furniture. Give it a look

nice equipment, but i dont know where to start after that. you need to do some serious wire management. Your TV stand is to small and it looks like there used to be a shelf for it, IMO you should put it back on if you have it. Cause your receiver is going to hate you with that cable box over it. I looks like you tried to leave some breathing room but thats not going to be enough. good start, just need to move stuff around a little

Why are the speakers so close to the t.v. in the bedroom setup???????

Honestly. I just threw them up there. It's not meant to be anything special.

Everything was very tidy, but i just had a carpet cleaning and i had to move everything around. But tomorrow when i get the new speakers i'm going to set everything back up properly, i think. I'm moving out in May, but I still want it to look nice so I'm probably going to do that.

gotcha, i took a min to show how i think it would work best.

I still have that shelf in my closet, so i'll pull it out and give that a try. I'm just not sure if the Cable Box and Onkyo will fit side by side

hey how do u like ur vizio 42 lcd? I might be getting a deal on one next week, not sure the exact model...

hpman247 · 02-26-2009, 07:27 PM

For my bedroom I think that it is great. As far as it's accuracy of color on some movies, I don't feel that it is the greatest. My Samsung DLP is in a different league. But I also feel that it is a good tv. I do not regret buying it in any way.

I remember the days of the college setup. My HT got a TOTAL overhaul once I graduated and got a job.

Always nice to have another Hokie around

Question guys

I just got my M50's in. Hooked up. It sounds much better than it did. But I want to delegate the duties of the old L and R speakers to the surrounds. Right now i have a 7.1 Setup, but I was thinking. If I remove the rear speakers now closest to the front, and then replace the old fronts on the green wall at the back, would that be ok acoustically. I just figured I'd ask before I did it. Any opinions on this.

I moved to a new place. Gone is the 4BR with roomates. I've got my own pad now. Check it out!

Nice setup but you may want to try to point the surround more towards the listening/sitting area. They look like they are pointed OVER the heads on the couch.
