I’m curious what others systems look like and enjoy seeing them. We all are into the same hobby and should be proud of our creations. So I decided to post a pic of my system. Please post a pic of yours. system5670EB0C-CF22-41B3-92BF-65F44C7414AC.jpeg

Oh Dan, Dan, dan. I see why you had issues in the house getting this room done. Those surrounds are way to high brother. Iirc, when you dropped them in the old house, you noticed improvement right away. I’ll be angry for you so you can save the family dynamic. Lol

Brother you have no idea our agreement was too use the speakers I already have to save some money and I already owned some pretty compatible speakers.
But the more we worked with the installer the more stuff my pops just kept agreeing too like the star ceiling which I gotta admit turned out pimp lol
Next thing I know he's purchased these paradigm surrounds from this installer for an outrageous price. Let him talk him into an ALR screen in a light controlled room. Luckily I only put in my half of the money so I didn't half to cough up more.
The installer gave a great impression off the bat but as the work progressed I was really pissed off I will never recommend them. Really took advantage of my pops when I was not around. And then when Id try to talk to him about it well I should listen to this guy he's the expert :rolleyes:
So I let him overspend on his half and learn his lesson. He's already complaining about some stuff and I'm like well you should have listened.
Now he wants me to fix all this sh@$! So I'll be having some work to do.

The last straw for me is when they come in to install those stupid bipoles and he's just put some x's on a diagram and this is where they are supposed to go. The positions were even worse then they are now I forced the crew to at the minimum use ladders and boxes to at least at that height find out where they sound the best
You'd think he would have cared about that himself the installer. But no he'd rather sell my pops some bipoles cuz that's the only surrounds his distributor sells and just put them in at ceartin locations.
It sucked watching my pops getting ripped off like that but it is what it is. I'm so upset at the installer that I won't talk to him pops had too because I would have just made crap worse when I blew my top.

Monitor audio bronze 6 towers
MA bronze center
MA bronze 2 surrounds
MA bronze 1 height
I think a true Atmos setup would be 4 in ceiling speakers. Front height speakers give me a little bit of an overhead effect but not as much as 4 overhead. It definitely strengthens the front though.

Very cool danzilla are those jbl’s in your bedroom the same size as the ones in your media room? What 2 subs are in your bedroom? Is that just 1 pb16 ultra in your media room?

So the long story short is I have a badass really badass sounding 7.2 system lol even tho I have 11 speakers because with those bipole surrounds up so high there is noooo separation from the ceilings
Down the road I'm going to fix it all for sure
My plans will be to put surrounds on each row the way we spoke about and y split the signal from the reciever. Comb filtering or lobing if it's an issue is not hard to fix just add in a miniDSP and add 1ms for ever foot of distance between the two rows to the second row. So if they are 4 feet apart add 4 ms of delay to the second row.
And put in some more capable surrounds! Those JBL 590's and PB 4000's kind off save the day!!! The problem is you can kind off tell that! It sounds front heavy. Surrounds in a bigger room like that HAVE to keep up with the mains otherwise the system sounds front heavy
It does sound pretty good for what it is tho.
That front 3 and those subs just wreck it

I wish I could have lowered my surrounds too. I would be ok with the 1 over my left shoulder but the 1 over my right shoulder is in the corner by the opening to the kitchen and I was afraid somebody’s shoulder would clip it being that they are rather large bookshelves on wall mount brackets.

Those are the jbl studio 580's in the bedroom the 590's are in the theater room
The 590's are way overkill for the bedroom
Just one sub in the bedroom for now the rsl speedwoofer 10s I plan on upgrading to duals in the bedroom my plan is to go with some HSU I think Ive never tried Dr HSU's subs and would like to experience them
Those are 2 PB 4000's in the theater room eventually I'm planning on adding 2 more PC 4000's for the back for 4 total in there

In my opinion for me it's worth the risk just speaking for me this is the second time I've had surrounds up high in an atmos based system and I have to agree with Dolby they sound much better more at ear level

I could never afford a installer , and in my bedroom it’s not tall enough too need one . I use rears not front heights because I do not have an atmos receiver, and Dolby pro logic Z extends fronts but does not add as much as atmos.
My speaker are low end someday hope I can afford the goodies !!!
