edwelly Full Audioholic Sep 27, 2005 394 0 0 Indiana Oct 10, 2005 #1 I thought I would post a picture of my setup. It's not a great picture, but it will do. The stand was the hardest part as I had to build that (with my wife's help ) because we could not find anything we really liked under $1300. Anyway, thanks for all of the advice you guys have given me!! Attachments TVStand003.jpg 62.5 KB · Views: 1,246

M MDS Audioholic Spartan Oct 23, 2004 6,691 0 113 Austin, TX Oct 10, 2005 #2 Very nice! It looks very clean. I love that combination of dark wood floors and black equipment racks. I have a very similar looking stand, but it is 'espresso' (chocolate brown). I was going to go with a traditional wall unit like I've always done in the past but found a solid wood stand like yours for only $300 - couldn't pass it up for that price.

edwelly Full Audioholic Sep 27, 2005 394 0 0 Indiana Oct 11, 2005 #5 Sheep - thanks... I will adjust the angles later tonight. However, I am only about 13 feet from them - is the 5 - 10 still correct?

The reason you tow in is to improve response, mostly tweeter, as it rolls off alot on the offaxis. Where they point depends on how wide your listening position is. Mine is narrower then the distance between my fronts....so I point the left tower at the left side of couch, and right at right side. It works the best for me and gives the best sound - plus when the speakers are angled like that they look kinda funny just for comparison my listening position is 10feet away and my towers at 7 feet apart The Sheep
