That is a hot setup.

I've always heard nice things about psb speakers. I'm sure they sound as nice as they say.

Just some thoughts while looking at your system which you might consider. Though you may not want to move your speakers about, I think you'd notice some improvements if you were to place your mains closer together, maybe a foot or two either side of the tv. This would no doubt improve soundstage and imaging. Also the rears should probably only be about 3-4 ft apart, it looks as though you have them in the corners of the room.

The PSB's do sound nice. They are the discontinued Image line and I got a great deal on them. They don't match up to their Gold series, but my wallet wouldn't allow that.

Oh, I don't mind moving speakers at all, my wife says I should put wheels on them, I move em around all the time. The setup in the pictures was a result of me reading somewhere that you should have an equilateral triangle from the main speakers to the so called "sweet spot" where you sit and listen. If this were true though, I'd have to have them even further apart. I sit 15" back from the television. The rear speakers use to be close together and that produced a nice sound. I moved them to the corners so I could see if I liked using the mains and the rears only for music and the mains and the sides for movies. Thanks for the suggestions, this is pretty new for me and I need all the help I can get

You can go here to find out more about speaker placement. I don't agree 100% with everything written here, but it should be a good start and a big help to getting more from your system.

*drool* That is a HOT SETUP! It looks as though you have two equalizers in the "right.jpg" picture, what are those?

 

[lynn2c]

no equilizer

No, those aren't equilizers you see. I have two amps there. The denon is for the inside system and the onkyo runs zone 2 which are speakers outside.
My EQ is in the closet. Since I switched to the denon amp, I don't really need it anymore. The Denon produces a good enough sound without one.

Love the Setup. I'm a big PSB fan as well. I've put together my whole system from the discontinued Image line too due to the great savings. The last pair of 2Bs that I bought came tho $319 CDN including 15% tax. Congrats again on the nice system.
