Thanks - I'll just use the plates. The wood isn't 100% even (another reason I should have gone 2x12...) so glue is out. What length of screw do you use to drive into a 2x#? I imagine something like a .75" inch screw (I imagine those exist?)

Not sure why that happened. Try this: diy-home-theater-design.com/image-files/build-riser-platform3.jpg just add the www's in front.

Hey guys, What's the best way to connect the top riser platform to the bottom? (picture this: http://www.diy-home-theater-design.c...-platform3.jpg) I've seen metal wood-to-wood connectors used that look like nothing more than a steel plate with holes in it but this doesn't seem like proper...

Quick question, in canadian funds, what does a pair of studio 60's run for? That's what i was kind of gunning for. If the 100's are only marginally more expensive i might get those instead. I still need to hop into my local shop though and i'm moving currently so it might be a while until i can...

Okay, so here's the situation: - Living in an apartment, looking to buy paradigm 60's, need a way to hook them up. Now, my goal is to start with a 2.0 system now (2 very good mains). Then add a center/sub and surrounds as I get the $$ (and more than likely when I upgrade from an apartment...

Question - in an apartment situation, would using shakers instead of a sub isolate the "bass" to the couch or chairs or would the boom be worst for neighboring apartments than using a sub? Also, if no sub exists but shakers do, can you tell the receiver to still send all the bass info to the...

I can't see the right of the screen relative to the picture but couldn't you clear off the top of your computer case and plop the left speaker on there? Maybe something similar with the right and then angle the center down or put it down and angle it up?

My grandparents have the 2-speaker setup at opposite ends of the room but that's just because it's a family room, not a theater room and the only thing coming out of those speakers are some christmas tunes now and again for everyone to hear in the room. At my girlfriend's uncle's they have...

So I'm getting a new apartment and with it I'm planning to get as good a speaker system as I can afford but I'm curious if maybe I'm planning too much for little space. I was planning on filling one of two rooms in the new apartment with some paradigms (small possibility of klipch as well...

Thanks a lot, very helpful. I'll look into different monitor speakers and possibly floor standing ones depending on price, difference in sound and space we have to work with. This is a great starting point. - LB

Matched speakers just mean same brand right? So that the sound flows properly and evenly through them all? Monitor speakers i tried to google and search here but got nothing... what are monitor speakers?

I'll definately check out those paradigms, theres an outlet that sells them about a 20 minute walk from my house (not bad!).

Oh HELL yes. I was actually searching for "floyd" in the general search area by chance and came across this thread. I gave up hope about a year ago for this to ever be released. If this is true and they stick with it i'm going to be an exceedingly happy man.

Can anyone suggest some up-to-date books that would provide excellent reading on this subject? I have about 3 hours a day on busses that i'm tired of just sleeping through :P

Okay so after VERY frustratingly writing up a detailed request for help i forgot about the url limit and lost everything i just wrote after hitting the back button. GRR. To reiterate: - Moving out into this apt: rentcanada.ca/ipt/ipt200_b2b.jpg - HT will be either living room or small...
