    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Well, false alarm John, wife vetod the Klipsch subs due to the color lol. Though I guess I'd still be curious if you think that option was better. Also, thanks again for advice, just so you know I chose your advice over everything else I read with the ELAC speakers.

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Lol. They're gigantic. Like, hilariously gigantic. The only downside with using a shelf is then I'll have speaker wire randomly coming down my wall, the homeowner had speaker wires come through the wall at about 6 feet tall ported through the walls. Would it be a total no-go to wall mount them...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    5? I don't think so. 1. I made here as my first intro, asking for guidance. 2. I made a new thread a while later after narrowing it down to two speaker options. This is when you said don't make multiple so I kept it to this one. 3. I made a thread asking about mounting speakers, because...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Ah. Crazy. Well, I believe it. I guess in the end unless I go full on audiophile, I can't necessarily do one of the big ones. Until then, now I'm really leaning towards http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-2mk5.html the VTF-2 MK5. Unless I'd be making a mistake with that, let me know, I...

    On another place I asked, they said an HSU or Ryhthmik would walk all over an ELAC sub or the Klipsch I posted, do you agree with that? If so, what model of either of those subs would you get?

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    What do you think about this one that is also on sale at BB? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-series-12-400w-powered-subwoofer-black/6241800.p?skuId=6241800 Would you do that you think? That's normally pretty expensive and 400w. Again I have probably 10% of the knowledge you have...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Hey you're on! I just quoted you in another thread hoping you were on tonight. Well, what do I do? Sounds weird but you're basically my primary source. In my head I was planning on coming here and asking which sub I should buy closer to Black Friday assuming there'd be some nice deals. I hate...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Got it. Well, annoying to have to handle returns and all that, but hey I'll save a ton of money! I thought the ELAC 20% sale was big and these are way off lol. Anyway, I really need a sub. This is my first ever system and here is my thread about my room/need/wishlist. I bought the ELACs but...

    Hey "man" and John! I hope you guys are on tonight. So, looks like ironically (and frustratingly) Best Buy is all the sudden having tons of sales on ELAC speakers. The ones I just bought. Question to both of you, this ELAC sub is on sale with Best Buy right now -...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    My ELAC system gets here tomorrow. It's my first ever serious home theater audio setup I've ever bought, so you can imagine my excitement. The total 5.1 system will cost me a bit above $2k. I still need a sub but I figured I should wait until Black Friday sales for a sub, right? Anyway, I'm...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Hey! So, just checking in. I haven't bought a sub and I'm thinking it would be ok if I waited until Black Friday. Just to make sure, you don't know of any sales I should currently take advantage of before then on a sub do you?

    Alright thank you John, thank you both actually, I just made the purchase! ELAC is the way I went based on your post, I did the Debut 2.0. I went to their website and didn't see the other ones you mentioned so bought those. Onto the sub, you said the SB-2000s are now gone unfortunately. On...

    My ELAC speakers get here tomorrow! I have to mount the surrounds, how high & what mount should I use?

    Ah, this is tough. In this forum, the two of you recommend ELAC. On another forum, two people said the Emotiva options. Can either of you elaborate and help me understand one way or another? I really appreciate both of your inputs, and John, thanks for teaching me how to structure this best...

    So I'm pretty new to all of this and drinking from a firehose trying to learn what's best. I have a budget that I've increased to $1,700 ish (I was told I'd get a lot more than $1,300ish) and I want a 5.1 system right off the bat, and need full specific product recommendations, I want to buy...

    Bought my very first home, and looking for beginner advice for home audio, but having no luck. Can you help?

    I already contacted 3 professional installers who said they can't get wiring through the walls in my place, that's the issue. I just want rear left and right speakers lol. My current setup is fine, but can't get the audio wiring there. I DO have outlets in the areas I want the rear L and R...

    Bought my very first home, and looking for beginner advice for home audio, but having no luck. Can you help?

    Thanks Wayne. I do have outlets right where the rear L and R speakers can go, just can't easily get an audio cable there. I've spoken to 3 professional installers who say they can't get audio cabling through the walls there. All this difficulty and it's so hard to get answers. Why not just...

    Bought my very first home, and looking for beginner advice for home audio, but having no luck. Can you help?

    Hey! So, I also signed up at another forum because I'm really struggling to find help. You say what I'm looking for doesn't exist, however... on the other forum, somebody linked me to this. edit: this may not let me post links so the title of the adapter piece on amazon is: Amphony 1700...

    Which is the better home theater system? (please answer fast!)

    Hey all, I literally just signed up here. I love forums. As of this month, I have my first man cave and I'm looking for a low cost home theater surround sound system. It's just a bedroom so I don't need insane quality, just regular movies/music stuff. I don't know a ton about these, but in our...
