Dave, I'm not expecting anyone would put the LCRs in harm's way but definitely the sides and back speakers would be subject to the over-served. That lead to giving more thought to doing in-walls for the front channels as well. Hoping that would help keep the timbre among all of the speakers a...

Thank you so much for reinforcing my thoughts. I'll give some dimensions since I don't have that layer on in the drawing. Front row seats are right at 15' from the screen. We are a family of three so the front row middle will be the money seat. I took the advice of this thread and removed...

I have another question for home theater room layout. I have two options for setting up the room. The room has a half-hex on one end. It is approx. 30' x 16'-8" x 8'-7". From a audio standpoint, which direction would work the best or does it matter? Screen on the hex end with a false wall...

Dave, have you any suggestions in the $2000 each price point?

Dave, I'd have to say $2000 each for the LCR is the most I should spend. Your piggy bank is bigger than mine. LOL On looks alone, I'd buy those big Legacy round tops. They remind me of a gradfather clock! Beautiful!!!

Thanks John, with the popularity of Klipsch and their following, I feel like I make myself an immediate outcast if I have any negative words about them but they just don't grab me. I'll spend some time looking at the Elac line.

Dave, that should be a real simple question but it isn't for me. I'll keep my explanation as short as possible but it will still be a book. :lol: When I was a teenager we had a music store nearby called CMC music. There was the most beautiful girl working there you have ever seen. Shaped to...

Thanks Dave, I kind of thought the hex end of the room would be the better choice. It certainly makes sense if I want to use a transparent screen and hide the audio behind the screen. Will the angled corners allow me to get by without bass traps? JTR's are an interesting choice. I have...

I am building a new house and hope to learn from those on this forum how to design and build a home theater. The rough draft from the architect is nearing completion. Room size and placement is taking shape but I think I still have time to make some changes if you think any are needed. I have...

Hello, I just joined hoping to capitalize on the experiences from others in my situation. Building a new home and have dedicated a room for a home theater. Now the task begins of making good decisions so that I am happy with the end product. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
