What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[Adam]

People are putting these things in their eyes too, wow this stuff has come a long way.

You should check out what kids are doing with alcohol these days (if you haven't already).

Nothing new, but I made a few changes in the set-up. By Alex's recommendation.

Went from this arrangement A



to this B



What do you think?? Which is better, A or B set-up?

 

[fuzz092888]

B but I might be biased

Walter, did you lose soundstage? Seems like 'A' would be closer to the equilateral triangle concept.

This afternoon I'll check it out, last night was a little late. I'll get back to you.

 

[afterlife2]

I like A for more of a wider soundstage. Nice setup. Wish I could make noise like you.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

It wasn't particularly good.

I thought it was decent. It was visually and soundwise real good. Story was lacking. The sequel is being filmed hopefully it will be better.

FWIW, I doubt the soundstage has shrunk by much. Based on what I heard with them in setup A, I would guess that the imaging has actually probably improved with the new placement.

Also FWIW, Dolby recommends more of an isosceles triangle for the front L/R. A 44/68/68 triangle to be exact.

I'm just wondering why you have your bar fridges mixed in with your HT.

Are you referring to my subs?? They are kind of big, or the towers are too small?

The TV is too small.

I'm liking B, just looks better and the Guiness helps with everything no matter what the circumstance.

Edit* I was going to ask about soundstage as well but the way the A setup is I think the speakers are straightforward not utilizing any toe in and the B setup is definitely without a toe in so I would tend to think B would be better with speakers of this size and caliber, if there was any difference would it even be audible here, prolly not.

Awesome set-up Walter, you Rock and Roll like no other !

Yeah, the subs look big. Don't get me wrong, with subs, size does matter and I'm on board with that.

The TV is too small.

agree!


anyway, B setup is nice to see. But i dunno about the sound stage
i'm new here, so i still learn how to create good setup too

 

[walter duque]

I know, but I have to get my money's worth out of this one. It's the Pioneer Elite Pro which I purchased in 04 or 05 and you don't want to know how much that set me back. It's still a great display and I am a plasma guy.

You can't see it in the pictures but the towers are set up toe in. The 2 arrangements do seem to sound different. It did have a bigger sound stage, but B looks better to me and my wife likes it a lot better too (not that it matters what she thinks, it's my setup). I am happy with the the way it sounds now too, but it does sound different. I am not saying one is better than the other, just different. They both rock. I still have to play with it a little more, but this is staying the way it is. Plus sound memory is short, it's not like I can do AB testing.

Picked some old school Pioneer BOFU 8" full-rangers for some playin' around projects

If you have a receiver with auto setup, don't forget to rerun it. If not, at least correct the distance settings and try both without EQ.

Can't choose either without hearing it But I'd lean toward B being the one that sounds better.
