Poor mans "theater " update

[driver]

I posted my version of a theater here and now I have some updated photos to share . This still is an highly entry level example but on a budget it works .

This was a before pic . I am awaiting replacement mounts for the speaker on the stand as it was lost ( thrown away ) in the move . I love my wife

Dude! Whats with the major toe in? They look like they are not even pointing at the seats.

Try to get it so the left speaker points at the edge of the left seating, and visa versa for the right.

Nice system. Although Sheep comes off harsh as times, he's right. The towers should be angled towards the back of your head at most (toe in). Your plasma is a bit high too. If your head/neck seems like it's straining, you may want to drop it down a bit. If not, looks nice. Great job hiding the wires.

That room would look awesome with a coat of taupe (or a warmer color paint) on the walls.

Most importantly - how do you like it? How does it sound?

Looks nice!! I also agree with the others on their easy fixes to improve your setup. Besides not toeing your speakers so much, hanging your TV about 12" or less above your center speaker will make movie watching a more enjoyable experience. Besides not having to look up to watch, the front sound will mesh better with the screen. IE..... if the dialog coming from your center speaker is only 2.5" off the ground, it will sound/feel more natural and lifelike if your screen is positioned just above. The way it is now, your picture is coming from way up....and the sound from way down. If the front speaker sound(especially center) is coming from the same vantage point as the screen, it will improve the movie watching experience.

My 2 cents

Nice job with the setup!!

your tv looks like is it up a bit high. or maybe its the picture.

Nice equipment! As has aleady been suggested, I would rotate your mains out some and lower the display a bit. Man does that room have tons of HT potential!

Ummm...Thanks for pointing that out. I certainly missed it.

Kinda funny when someone ressurects and old thread, and nobody notices and starts going on answering the question or whatever

It seems like most people who mount their tv's themselves or have their electrician wire for them put them up WAY high. My neighbor mounted his nearly to the ceiling. When I saw how high the brackets were on the wall I didnt even think he would get a tv up there because it was so close

Nice cheap system

It's a great cheap system, but this thread is still 2 1/2 years old.
