    Awesome set-up Sky!!

    Talk bout "purdy" -- that rack of yours in the dark is seductive:D
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Are those really subs on the far outsides? What kinda subs are shaped like that? Obviously, I have not been exposed to that before.

    Bet the house shakes with that SVS in there eh???

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The center channel sounds seamless, the imaging is right in the middle of the screen as far as my ears are concerned.

    The back wall is 12' wide and 14' tall and there is alot of equipment against it. The next upgrade is going to be wall treatments just as soon as we figure out which material we want to cover them with.

    WAF is very high so far and she is on board for the treatments.

    The rack does get warm but when we are using the system I keep the door cracked open and the back of the rack is uncovered.

    The subs in the front stage all reproduce the signals from their respective channels and the SVS does all the LFE; they don't usually all fire with the same signal. I don't notice any problems but I am sure if I could get a pro in here to calibrate everything it would sound better.

    Thanks, all the front speakers are powered. The right and left are the RT3000p's with a Sub on the bottom and a satellite on the top.

    The house shakes pictures off the wall sometimes and I have managed to break several things that vibrated off the speakers. (I should have known better)

    The pictures get distorted when I size them for the showcase. Everything looks taller and skinnier than it really is.

    It is fairly close and toed in.


    It is a tight fit with all the gear against one wall.
    Sound treatments are high on the "to-do" list.

    He's rather proud of those 3000s. One might get lucky and pick up a set of SRTs for what the seller wants for those.
