Room Swap!

[Stripes]

I have started the move from my spare room that was designated as an HT out into my living area. Here are some pics and I will have alot more to come as progress is made.

Omnimount Echo 63 upgraded from the Echo 50. Inside will house my Receiver, Amp, Bluray and HDDVD player.

Speakers placed

Sanus ll22 Low profile mount

So what's going to happen to the spare room? I'd like to hear some Eras, I hear they are very nice speakers. I know it's probably not possible, but I'm pretty sure you would like a wider spread between your mains. However, since they're bookshelves, putting em wider on stands could make it a precarious thing when drawing blinds, etc. Unless you could move everything over to the right perhaps, but then who knows what's on the right side . . . my 2 cents . . .

Yes Era's are quite impressive and have a great deal of depth, they can throw out a pretty big soundstage for such a small speaker. I always get people when I put them in stereo, they never believe me that the center channel is not playing until they walk up to it and put their ear to it. Unfortunately the WAF will not let stands come out into the living room, so she met me in the middle and let me get the longer Echo to space them out a little more. I did convience her to let me get some small satellite stands for my Gallo's that will provide the surround, they should be arriving this upcoming week along with my BD player and some wire and cable from monoprice.

A few shots of the LG, I've really enjoyed it so far. I can see now its in the living room that I will have to get some blackout curtains because its extremely reflective. Wire management will follow when I get my surrounds placed. The first and last shot look congested because I hadnt pushed the Echo back against the wall, so its a little close to the coffee table.

Hugged against the wall

Just another angle

Panned out a little

Now you just need one of those paintable covers to run the wires to the display and you will be all set. Stands would really help, but you'll have to probably find something really nice looking that will pass WAF. Or get some MoPads and at least angle things up.

Yes, wire management will be soon and down the line a little bit will be the Mopads and Subdudes. Plus I really need an all-in-one remote, four remotes is for the birds...

I'm sorry, I forgot to answer this part of your question. I'm having to move my gear out because my wife and I are going to have a baby She is a couple of months along now so I have to start turning the room into a nursery. I only have a 3 bedroom and we still need to have a spare for company so this was my only option.

Congrats, kids are a lot of fun. If you are looking for a good solution for having only one remote the logitech harmony remotes are a great fix. I have the 880 and love it, Ive had it for quit o few years and its the best all in one remote solution I have every had, very easy to set up and also use its def a great buy thats for sure.

Looks Great! Just one suggestion...you might want to consider getting a right angle HDMI adaptor for the HDMI cable going into your monitor as it looks like it barely fits between the monitor and wall. Don't want to put any excess stress on the that HDMI port. Just some food for thought nice work though.

Thanks! The HDMI adapter is in the picture right in the middle of the 4' black HDMI cable.

Looking good stripes.

Is that how you are going to leave the cables from the Display? I know j_garcia mentioned the paint-able wire channel. I prefer to just punch an upper and lower hole in the wall so you have no wires but since you shouldn't run an electrical outlet in the wall you have to move it up behind the display.

It is a bit of a hassle but worth it in the end.

 

[Patrukas777]

Looks great! If that setup is going to be long term, then I agree with ParadigmDawg. It would look flawless
