Looks good. That's some serious toe in on those fronts. Did you come to that by trial and error for the room?

Man,I was thinking the same thing.Of coarse it could be the optical illusion thing cosidering the width of those theater seats.

Seats are very large! Room is 15x22. I love the sound from the LSI series!

Still not sure I understand the comments. The pics do give you a good idea of how far away the seats are from the speakers and screen.

She means the angle of the speakers closing in to each other. Kinda like this... \ /

Looks good martin, that's a nice setup!

You should experiment and see how they sound if you angle them out a bit. It might widen your soundstage. It's all relative to the room and seating so you have to experiment.

Thanks. Right now the sound does not appear to be coming form any one direction. Very well balanced. Surround is amazing. I was playing the Rocky Blu Ray DVD last night with 6.1 DTS HD! What a difference! I cant wait for HDMI 1.3 and a new 1080p display!

The room is already equiped with a power supply in the ceiling in the event I add a projector later.

Well then don't mess with it...or if you do just mark with some electric tape where they were so you don't lose their position if you stick with it.

I'll try widening the angle. It may help.
