In my experience with toe in, the R speaker should laser beam right past about an inch or two from your R ear, the same goes for the L speaker. That's just me.

Looks like this would be a better sounding setup. Let your ears decide. If you can't place the sub where McLoki suggested, the setup that you have should do you justice until you can. Again, let your ears decide. It's your rig.

Golden, nice indeed.

For toe in - the inside edge of the speaker should be pointed at your ear on that side. (well start with that anyway and tweak from there....)

I though the sub was ok where it was at, but to be honest, your best bet is to put some wood on your couch, set the sub on it (basically so the sub is firing into the wood rather than into the couch cushion), play some bass heavy music and crawl around on the floor till you find a place that the bass sounds good. Then switch positions wth the sub. Sounds really stupid, but it works pretty well.

sounds like a very good way to find the right spot for the sub! will get long interconnects and try it out!

thx!

system is running in 2 channel mode, i like it!

the soundstage of the LSi15 is amazing (after tweeking it from 10pm to 8am!)

the dswpro600 sub go deep

need some ZzzZZzzzzz

Sherardp

Very welcome, nice setup. After you listen to everything you can try tweaking it with a radioshack SPL meter later on.

what is the SPL meter used for?

btw i love the D-Sonic amp! had the sound cranked up to ear bleeding levels and they dont even warm up much :eek:

Sound Pressure Level meter is used to measure a speakers output at a certain distance in decibels. or, it measures how loud your s*** is dude! cheers!:p

Nice setup! I'm thinging of having the rears setup like your number 6 and 7. My rears will be 7 feet off the ground and 5 1/2 feet of seperation. Now thinking of LSi-7's to match the LSi-15's up front.

cfrizz

The spl meter is used to calibrate all of your speakers for level output. So you would have them all set at reference level for a nice even sound.

nice setup. I always use that scene from HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS to demo my HT rig to guests The uncompressed PCM soundtrack is incredible

Sherardp

The Double Yammies are very nice. So how about a little review. Hows that D-Sonic treating those LSis. Again your setup is very top notch indeed. Well planned out for sure.

my freaking yamaha dvd-s2700 chewed up every disc i put in there! its history now...here is the damage...16 dvds and 23 cds. here is the worst 2




Sony PS3 replaced the pos



the soundstage/imaging is spectacular. i think the cause was the scratch/friction caused the spindle speed to become unstable and the data stream fed to the DAC was erratic on the yamaha...and still soundstage was great

with the PS3...the imaging has pin point accuracy, so much more detail i did not hear on the yamaha.

you can resurface those cd's and dvd's with a bit of elbow grease. I usually start with 1000 grit wet sandpaper then step up to 2500. Next a cut polish followed by foam pad polishing glaze. Finally... wax. Yup, just like the clear coat on a car. Works wonderfully, especially on expensive video game discs.

i'm very dissapointed w/ the yamaha player

at least there is hope to save all the damaged disc. i'll try it out.

Thx!

tried out some backlighting...8w flicker free tube



turns out pretty good.

added a better surge protector and UPS

McLoki

Very, Very nice. In all honesty, did you notice any difference with the better surge and adding the ups? (still deciding what to add to my system)
