Lookin' good, Enders.
How you likin' the FX's? I think they are a seriously awesome surround. I like how high you have them. Mine are high that too, and it really helps make them sound a lot farther away. My space is more cramped than yours, so the surrounds are only about 5' from my head, but on good soundtracks, effects can sound like they're 20 or 30 feet away.2-Channel: PC > Schiit Eitr > Audio Research DAC-8 > Audio Research LS-26 > Pass Labs X-250.5 > Magnepan 3.7's

Yup, I had to mount them that high for WAF reasons and didnt complain as its recommended they be 2-3 feet above the listeners ears. With 8 foot ceilings that puts me at right about the perfect height where I have them mounted.
As to how they sound..... RIDICULOUS! First time I ran Audyssey it set them to FULL RANGE lol..... and they handled full range quite well, to the point I had tooo much bass :eek:. I dialed them back and bit and am still tweaking, but overall been very impressed.
Right now I believe they are set as bi-pole, but I want to try di-pole in a couple more weeks after I get comfortable with their sound.
Plan on busting out the laserdisc Collectors version of Star Wars on Sunday to really enjoy em.

They are rather large though lol..... Its seriously like having 2 LSiC's side by side.... not that its a bad thing by any means.
Its also interesting to note they have the EXACT same specs as the LSiC so it makes setting the crossovers for all 3 quite easy lol....
Now to just find a good 2 channel amp for my fronts, a set of LSi 7's for my rears along with a new AVR and blu-ray player and I will be done for like 3 years..... maybe

Glad to see you checking in. Called you a couple times and never heard back. Glad to see your still around.
Looking forward to the pics. You ever finish those custom subs you were working on?

My personal phone has been on the fritz for several months, but with my work phone, I have had little incentive to get it fixed
I'll give you a call probably later tonight... I'll try to post some pics of the progress in the theater too!

Well done on that setup! Very clean looking! Great choice on the Panny Plasma. I have a 50" Panny Plasma going on 3 1/2 years now. You can't beat Panny Plasma's! I heard their newer 50 series has some insane black levels and stunning PQ.No excuses!
