All the Dolby info I see is for single row seating and I have two rows, couches actually. I get the 45° angles, and all the calculations when it comes to single row but I’m baffled on two rows. With my 7’ ceiling I cannot have angled speakers on brackets. They have to be flush mounted. My MLP is...

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 6100 Onkyo TX-SR705 Receiver Panasonic UB420 BD Player I was super excited to get my UB420, and the picture quality is excellent compared to my old PS3, but the sound quality is worse. On the back of the UB420 I am using the video out (audio/video) HDMI port. I'm...

My HT is almost complete with dimensions of 23 long, 10 wide and 7 high (kids call it the shoebox) It will have laminate floors with a throw rug and two leather Danish sofas (modern) Since the walls are 7 ft high, I had planned to do a 3 ft tall thin pile carpet/wainscotting and chair rail...

My HT will have three circuits: Lights/Recepticles, Projector and then Audio stuff using two runs of 12-3 wire. So I have a choice on grounds. Two of these will be a shared (common) ground and one grounded by itself. One of my electrician friends suggested that the projector be on it's own...

Since our family wants to eat in the HT, we are thinking of a laminate floor. The problem is the "brightness" of a huge hard surface. From what I have read from Wayne, floor carpeting is about all you really need to handle the sound absorbtion in a normal HT, but with pergo, things change...

As I finish the electric on my HT: If I put my lights on one circuit and and components on another, will this prevent the possibility of the infamous humm that I read about? BTW, I Havn't taken the 705 out of the box yet (got it on clearance), and I have an SVS sub.

Hey guys. I've got a guy who is going to build in the shelves in my AV closet. It's not so much a big closet but a 24 wide, 24 deep, 60 high space. We will have total access from the back for future use via a removable pegboard panel (back ventilation) . His idea is to build shelves and put them...

I'm looking forward to the 607 coming out so that prices will drop on the 606. Any ideas? Someone told me in April but the month is winding down. Oops, I put "then" instead of "when". Sorry.

Closed end banana plugs: I just received a bunch of these from monoprice and went with the rear entry kind since they provided a much more finished look over the side entry. The problem is that I can't figure out how the wire stays in. It goes in the back, yes but when I screw it together the...

I've just completed the wiring for all my speakers in our framed HT. I ran wire for 7.1 and was wondering since I have the extra wire and boxes, what other places might I run wire to to prepare for the future? I do have "behind the wall" access to the front and side walls, just not the rear and...

After all my research I had decided on the Onkyo 606. Then I find out on the Onkyo website that the 607 is "coming soon". What THAT means I don't know. Thoughts? Anyway, could someone please look at the specs and tell me in laymans terms which is the best bang for the buck? Obviously 7.2, I...

Room is 22' long, 10' wide and 7' high. We'll be sitting at 14-18 feet away. I'd like my screen to be 8' wide with 16:9 ratio. (Whats that, 123 diagonal?)That leaves a foot on each side so basically the entire wall is a screen. Room is totally light controlled with no windows. We have...

Newb here. I've been told that I need a sound meter but the receiver I am buying has auto speaker calibration. Do I still need one? Also, I do not plan on buying an EQ so how does one calibrate once one gets the data from the Avia DVD and sound meter?

I called the Greenglue people today and need some clarification from you guys. My HT will be over my garage. Screen in front, entrance in back. The only wall that is shared with the house is the back wall (entrance). The other walls and ceiling are surrounded by the attic. Basically you go up...

Me again. Sorry. My friend that is WAY into HT suggested Rockets today. It's what he has (moved here recently and are not yet set up) and he has absolutely no regrets. I love the looks of the ELT525 towers and need opinions vs the SVS SCS-01(M)'s. The Rockets are much larger and look like...

Just about ready to buy speakers. Thanks for your infinite patience with my questions. I'm not hooking up two subs. I'm just going to buy the SVS 25-31PC. That should be more than sufficient. Room size is 22 long, 10 wide, 7 high, over the garage with double drywall and green glue...

Budget: $400 Room dimensions: 10' wide, 7 feet tall, 22 ' long Room: Double drywall with green glue System: Will purchase Onkyo SR606 and wire for 7.1. Currently have Cambridge Soundworks Newton speakers (front, center and surround) which I will continue to use. Video: Will purchase...

Room is 22 long, 10 wide and 7 high. I'm purchasing an Onkyo SR606 which is 7.1 capable. I am planning on upgrading to a larger sub and would like to use the "old" one as well. THX site recommends putting one sub in front, center, one in back. Can the SR606 connect two subs? From the...

I plan on picking up all of my 3/4 OSB flooring tomorrow. My theater is upstairs. Do I REALLY need to double layer it? I had planned to with a layer of green glue in beween, but is it overkill?

The measurements are 7'3" high, 10'3" wide and 23' long. When I add double layers of drywall and flooring, each with green glue the dimensions become: 7' high, 10' wide and 23' long (minus a couple inches) The heighth and width (7 & 10) are not negotiable, however the length is. I...

I am sure there are tons of pages online, but I would like to learn to build high quality speakers from a reputable source. I would apprecaite any help you might have to offer. Thanks, Alec

I bought a new DVD player to replace my old one that was giving me fits. It has HDMI among all the other connections. My current TV does not have HDMI connections, only component. This DVD player will be used when I eventually put in my projector which will have HDMI but I want to use it now...

Newb here. I've found countless usefull threads on how to build my HT, especially the "What would you do differently" thread. I, however, find myself in a unique position. The attic space above the garage (entrance is in the home) will be our HT. We had it framed for a live load when we built...
