Just posted my first pics in the System Showcase and would appreciate feedback related to the speaker placement. I know this is pretty subjective, but if anyone wants to share their thoughts I would appreciate it.

    Nice clean setup going on there Ken!

    Btw, your left speaker seems to be facing straight ahead while your right is way toed in (compared to the left that is). Where's your sweet spot?

    Good point. My plan was to create an equilateral triangle between where I sit and the speaker distance. To get that exact distance I may need to move the audio rack outboard of the right speaker. I may also move the sub outboard of the left speaker.

    Nice looking system...I have M70s myself in the old HT...and find that a slight toe-in is good...depending on where you sit? They also like a bit of space between them to help with imaging...but it looks like you're fine there.

    BTW...when and if you add a power amp...to that system...the M70s will 'image' like crazy...they're fine as is but with more power they really shine for so inexpensive a speaker, comparatively speaking, of course..

    The link is not workin' for me :o Had to use the "system showcase" on the top of the page and scroll to your system, no biggie just wanted to let ya know....

    Nice setup you got goin' on there! :) If you can, try to "toe" the front's in a bit (as previously mentioned) so that they project more of the sound to the seating posistion, also i would put the center channel above the TV as i would think the table is blocking it....

    +1 on the link not working. I just went to the SS and found it there. Holy similar setups Batman!! We have the same Mains, Center, Sub, and I also have the Sony SXRD, but I have the 60" model. Man I LOVE that TV, I am going to keep it as long as I can buy replacement bulbs for it, lol. Nice setup man, and I really need to get some shots of mine up there soon.
