I am little overwhelmed how good my old system sounds. It's like listening to a new sound system. I guess I had some mess here. Everything was just way off. I found out how little I know when it comes to HD till Alex showed up and pointed things out to me. Although I have been at this since the 60's I had a learning experience that's for sure. Alex did a great job and I thank him for it to drive 4 hours each way to help out a fellow AH to get the most out of his system. First I was thinking what does he have in mind about rearranging my livingroom, I was'nt to crazy about that thought but everything worked out for the better. Living room actually looks a little bigger now. I left work early to share a few pictures and enjoy a few sounds since the complex is empty. My wife even commented and said "this sounds good" is Alex a professional installer.
Here is Alex hard at work. I had some wire management here, I think we ended up with at least 40 extra connectors, every thing got stream lined. 12 gauge wire (courtesy of Alex) all the way around.
I asked him if he was up to this and he said "I can do this with my eyes" closed.
Lets start with the center speakers. BTW I changed that foam with the foam from the waffle cones. I am just going to post some more pictures and I am sure Alex is gonna fill you all in.
The only change I have made against Alex's recommentation is that I hooked up the other sub to the display only. When I watch tv I like a little bass with it and the speakers from the tv, just gives it a little extra flavor.
Surround towers.
Under couch rear surrounds, not a bad idea.
Last thing we did was remounting the display. I was lucky this thing did'nt come off, I missed one stud just by a hair. I must sound like an idiot. This thing is Alex proof. He did a pull-up on it and it did'nt pudge. So it's good.
Thanks again for everything.
