pg_rider Audioholic Oct 29, 2010 144 0 28 Colorado Springs, CO Oct 10, 2014 #42 Carpet is in! Now we're down to the finishing touches -- install shelves for the audio rack, hang the doors, and touch up the paint. Sofas come today, then I hope to mount the TV and install the audio equipment over the weekend. Last but not least, hook up the kegerator and stock the bar! Here's a 360° view you can pan around and see the whole space: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/114718376148802228328/gphoto/6068376750447707986 Reactions: andyblackcat, TheWarrior, macddmac and 2 others

pg_rider Audioholic Oct 29, 2010 144 0 28 Colorado Springs, CO Oct 13, 2014 #45 These will be my last photos in this thread. We mostly moved in over the weekend and it's coming together. Still have to hang curtains and some pictures, clean up the cabling in the audio closet, install a microwave into the bar, and hook up the kegerator. Audio-wise I still have to optimize my speaker positioning and run Audyssey. Initial impressions after just moving everything in are that the bass is a little boomy -- maybe due to the corner loading and/or that fact that it's a smaller room with a cement floor (vs the wood I had upstairs) and totally different dimensions. I'm fully confident XT32 can fix me right up. Thanks for reading everybody! Loving the new sofas! The hallway leading from the steps is lined with four movie posters -- love the way it turned out Gotta have color-changing LED bar lighting lol The audio rack came out perfect! Have to admit though, it does heat up the room behind it more than I expected. Reactions: Alex2507, andyblackcat, 3db and 1 other person

I don't really know of any A/V locals besides my salesman at Listen Up and one other guy (he's an Apple/klipcsh nut), who is not on this forum. Don't let that stop you from inviting me over though.

pg_rider Audioholic Oct 29, 2010 144 0 28 Colorado Springs, CO Dec 19, 2014 #58 A minor update: added matching rear surrounds to the existing side surrounds and did a stone veneer on the stairway wall. Couldn't be happier with the results! Only thing left is to do dropped crown moulding with rope lighting. Reactions: andyblackcat, Matt34 and afterlife2
