My system in its new home

[paden501]

Hey all.  Here's my system in its new location... the living room of our new house.

Eventually the tower AV stand will be replaced by a low TV stand and we're eyeing up a 54" Sony Bravia to go between the speakers.... someday.

For now the living room is just an audio room (which is ok by me  ).







Before someone else has a chance to say it, I know that's not the ideal perfect speaker placement for SDA speakers (they're too close to the sidewalls by about a foot), but for my wife's sake that's where they are, at least when I'm not using them.

WOW! Really nice system! I really like the audio rack too!

I bet it still sounds fantastic.  Nice rig.

[thuffman03]

Very nice.  Bet is sound great!

[paden501]

Thanks all.

It does sound good.  I'm working on pricing out a crossover upgrade for the 1Cs currently, hoping that it'll sound REALLY nice when I'm done.  Wish me luck.

Nice system. You should do the tweeter upgrade, big improvement.. If you are a member of club Polk, the tweeters are $50.00 each with free shipping. You can sell the tweeters you have now for $25.00 each on epay, and you only end up spending $100.00 for a big improvement.

Thanks Falcon.  I have been saving my pennies for a tweet upgrade.  I'm actually working on doing the crossovers first though just because I want to take on a project.  We're also buying a new entertainment center for between the speakers in the next couple of days, and some couches for the room so I don't have to sit on an egg-crate while listening.... so I probably won't be able to afford the RD0-194 tweeters for a while.

Here's what we're thinking for entertainment ctr.



Of course I don't have the nice big TV to go on top of it either.... but someday!

Matt,

Great looking setup. I'm sure you're enjoying the heck out of it.

By the way.......Congratulations On The New Home, Matt.---------BILL

[paden501]

Thanks Bill.


Well the Entertainment center is on the way, and my wife popped a huge suprise on me.  She gave me the thumbs up yesterday to go ahead and buy a TV!!  I've got a Sony 52" XBR9 on order!   

[BB3]

Well that makes it even more awesome, Matt.------Congratulations Matt.------BILL

Well the TV arrived yesterday! I still don't have the entertainment center (due in Monday) but even on a coffee table, the TV adds a nice touch.   

[MasterBlaster]

Very nice.
I used the coffee table too when I first got my flat panel. 

I eventually found a small AV cabinet for the Receiver and other stuff,
and hung the panel on the wall.

Nice TV!!! Your system is awesome.

[Falcon]

Looks great

[paden501]

Thanks all.  The TV is nice.  I continue to be suprised at how well the SDAs perform as home theater speakers also.

I'll put up a few more photos once I get the entertainment center this coming week.
