Towers are Image Dynamics with 2 6.5" and tweeters mounted in cabinets.
Center channel and rears are after market drivers with Image tweeters.

Looks good! Looks like you have quite the vinyl collection also. Why do you have the inputs of the svs sub showing off the side? I'd have them facing the wall. Also I'd swap the places of the cable box and center channel speaker. The center channel speaker should be close to ear level if possible.

Well i am still in adjustment mode and i also ordered a cd from rives audio which i hope will help me fine tune everything.

Also i am in the process of using the foam packing from the svs sub in order to make my own sub dude .

Thanks

Look at that LP on the right pile. Jeff Beck Wired? I see you already have Jeff Beck Performing This Week... Live at Ronnie Scott's Blu-ray. Does it get any better than that? I listened to that last night while I sucked down the better part of a twelver of Corona. Nice looking setup.

Looks Great ~ Nice HT .

The dog is in the way of the center channel

Have you thought of or tried to move the center up closer to the TV ? Might find it sounds better with the dialog

Hi , thank you .

That's why i am using the presence speakers up above which raises the dialog up to tv height.

Looking to buy either a Emotiva XPA-3 or UPA 5 and will probably moving components around as not sure when glass shelf will handle all that weight and when the wifes goes on holidays i plan on painting the room .

Did you try having the center with where the cable box is? Even with presence speakers I'd think you'd be better off with the center speaker moved up.

Some wire management goes a long way also. Shelves for your vinyl collection would help. Little things like that go a long way. Keep at it!

The logitec steering wheel mount is a DIY project which i originally saw someone selling on ebay for 45.00 us plus 40 shipping and i thought i could make it better and cheaper with slightly thicker pvc and works great .

have made another for my nephew as well and he loves it .

Nice System.Love the Panasonic Monitor.I know your Video Quality is first rate.

And The Speakers with a SVS Sub,must deliver a Powerful Sound that still has a lite and airy top end.

Great Music and Movie System.

Thank you .

Yes love the panny 50 inch .

One of my better purchases over the years has been the svs and once i tweak it im sure it will sound even better and the towers strange as it may be for car speakers sound great with imaging that will rival many speakers .

I also have a set of image 6.5 inch in from doors of my car along with sealed 1.4 cf box with a 12 inch as well as image horns mounted below the dash that give great imaging above the dash .

Just uploaded pic of sub riser i made yesterday using the foam packaging from my svs box and mdf wood .

PTplayers · 05-28-2010, 12:32 PM

Good morning , just uploaded some new pictures .

Hope you like them .

Morrissey · 05-28-2010, 01:52 PM

Awesome....awesome...awesome! Great job Rob!!!!! Looks fantastic!

Fors* · 05-28-2010, 01:55 PM

Looks real good, and I like the equipment, especially the SVS sub

. Nice subriser too. I built one for my cylinder sub, but I used a round cutting board as the base. A quick question, but have you thought about moving the sub up even and next to the front left speaker? This would move it a little further away from the side and back wall, and allow a bit more space for the sub. I'm just afraid that it might sound a bit boomy being that tight in the corner. But I love your set-up, good job!
