Westcott thanks for the compliments, this A/V stuff can get to be like an infectious disease ... never quite happy so lets try to tweak some more! (I love it!) You know I did have the speakers in a little tighter off of the side walls but my ears told me that being wider was indeed better, I'm thinking somehow the CD/DVD shelves on the right side and the plantation shutters on the left side act somewhat as a diffuser and it seems to me I'm just not getting the side reflections had they been against bare walls. Bringing the mains out into the room most certainly made a huge difference regarding imaging and sound stage although getting the toe-in right was quite a chore ... my next project may be just as you suggest and play with the width. I have since placed the sub tighter to the TV and can't tell much of a difference, seems like the best location after the sub crawl was right mid-sidewall and it will probably end up being there but right now work has kept me from spending the time on the system lately, there will be another EP600 added this winter and probably then both units will be placed in the opposite mid-sidewall locations. I'll certainly keep you posted.
Rjbudz I'm glad you are able to view the pics and no I do not play but I am a huge fan of Stevie Ray and his famous tone ... RIP Stevie!
Astrodon the speakers are most definitely plugged in ...
...and sounding great! (All wiring/cabling is in-wall)
Minnichs thanks a ton, I appreciate yours and everybody else's compliments. Lurking and hanging around this site along with a couple of other sites is where I gathered up all of my information to be able to put our system together ... this site is simply awesome.
