Finally!......my HT & remodel finished

[nibhaz]

Very nice and very clean!

I’m envious of the in-wall wiring and the Elite 360. It looks like you are running mono-blocks for each channel…outlaw?

P.S. The shower looks fab!

thanks

yeah all outlaw monoblocks. i think they are pretty much best bang for the buck. i'm sure if i was to further improve my soundstage i'd be looking at a lot more money

Hello Porschetech.

Interesting username. Does the call sign imply that you are a Porsche technician?!

Now, about your wonderful system. The Anthem is indeed a high quality piece and I love how you've implemented the Outlaw monoblocks for amplification. The 100 v.3 must sound marvelous. Speaking of which, due to the room configuration (the doors in particular), is there a possibility that because of the 100's and the CC570 being in such close proximity, the soundstage has been effected? And do you think the imaging capability has been compromised some? The reason I'm asking is because everything I've read regarding speaker positioning suggests that your sitting distance/listening position and front speaker positioning/separation should share the same distance. In other words, if you are sitting 13 feet from the speakers, then the distance between the speakers should ideally be 13ft. I'm sure it's not an exact science but I've attached a few links that supports that theory.

Again, I realize the room's dimensions and furniture usually dictates speaker positioning.
Despite my "distance/placement" observation, you have an incredible setup, tastefully done, clean fit and finish and the room looks great also.

Regards.

An addendum to the opening question of the post..... To answer that question, all I had to do was to look at your profile and it says it clear as day, Porsche Technician. By the way, you are a genius! To work on arguably the best built cars in the world, you have to be a very sharp and attention to detail type bordering on OCD type of guy! I know! I sold Porsches for 3 years and the technology just amazed me. But the individuals who worked on them in the shop amazed me even more! You're the man!

yes i am a Porsche technician. working on cars for @ 22 yrs now and on porsches for 11-12yrs. being from england, all i know is european technology. i've tinkered with a few american vehicles and i am not impressed. no wonder GM is going under . LOL

i know my room dimensions aren't the greatest and i'm sure the sound suffers a lot. unfortunately there's not a lot i can do i think it does sound great and i'm sure if i went with a cc690 v4 my dialogue would be even better.

ROFL.....you know us Ptechs very well. yes i'm anal, meticulous and i pay great attention to detail. when i look back at it now i wish i added more hdmi wall plates, an ethernet wall connection and perhaps wired it for 6.1 or 7.1 sound. again i had to be careful with such a small room as i didn't want overkill. i'd love to move on up to the new studio V5's though
