The five fronts only three active at the moment till I get two matching or other matrix Dolby decoders to extract the inner left and centre and free centre front up and left and right while it produces a kinder of new signal in the (inner-left centre and inner-right centre) fronts.

All present fronts left centre right are running with Behringer DCX2496 with parametric EQ LF/HF and audio limiters LF/HF for protection.

My cat, Sooty as been is crafty little bugger. The past few days he’s been jumping and exploring behind the screen speakers. The white sheet is bed sheet that I drop down for the LCD video projector and the image matches nicely with the matching fronts!



I’ve been running with JBL control 5 now for 20 years nice simple little versatile speaker and they fit nicely in this 15 foot L 10 foot wide 7 foot 8” high room.

The passive crossovers have been totally bypassed in case your wonder how I connected the LF/HF up. The LF runs off the Alesis RA300 and the HF run off my Marantz 1050 soon to be replaced with AlesisRA300 it’s a question of money! Now then!

The unsightly view may look unappealing but that’s that for now till I decided to knock-up some timber framing for base platform to rest the speakers smartly.

The tonally sound of the LF and HF are within a tiny fraction of 0.1 or so db after spending hours with pink noise the wall!

Bookshelf speakers are a smart investment where space is tight and makes nice sound once you spend the hours on it to ensure the tonally voices of dialogue panning moves across from C to L or R or R to C and L what ever.

Also phantom inner left and centre to right. Films like My Fair Lady or Indiana Jones and the last Crusade uses hard dialogue pans to half pan sounds and they need to be located precisely to match up on the LCD video projection screen which they do nicely.

How about recreating a similar Cinerama five-screen…

Oh good lord!

Someone needs to call the Fab Five or Laurence Llewelyn Bowen in and have a clear out.

You must be single, because if I ever did that in my house . . .

Exactly, I was wondering if he could narrow the question down abit or get to what he wanted to know.

Or should most people answer his question with “Me” or “Not Me”

There are so many different setups on here I just wanted to know who else is or isn't using them.
