Re: Mike C's stuff


Yeah... you got plenty more space down that front left wall there... you could double up on the subs...

Re: Mike C's stuff


agreed about the screen size. but for my current SD collection, i'm still seeing too much pixels.
maybe when HD comes along, I'll get a bigger screen ... or sit a lot closer

Re: Mike C's stuff


I wish! My first and most important subwoofer requirement is: front firing. easier on the eyes when stacking

Re: Mike C's stuff


I can tell that I will love this forum site. So many people want to criticize because it isn't set up by the book. I love the fact that you set this up how you wanted (with just a little bass ) and no one is getting on your case.

I really like your set-up. I have been reading about new recommendations for 4 subwoofers really sounding great. I bet your whole sub-division knows when you are watching a movie!

it's hard to apply the 4 sub setup or even a 2 sub setup without having similar/the same subwoofers. it's very very possible to negate the benefits of the better sub when pairing with a crappier sub.

I highly recommend spending a lot more time researching your subwoofer purchase so you can buy 3 more of the same subwoofer.

Re: Mike C's stuff


Those LED's on the Behringer A500 can become quite hypnotizing
If I had my stack sitting in front of me while watching a movie I'd end up watching the meters just to see them blink.

Much better setup than before! That setup you had with the rears speakers in the other room was very interesting.

Re: Mike C's stuff

Re: Mike C's stuff


I think the new room looks like a much better theater space. Be truthful here. Your wife was tired of you blowing out the windows with all the sub woofers you were using. I'm just jealous.

Re: Mike C's stuff


That is a sound only a mommy or daddy can love. Beautiful baby though.

Just a thought, if your setup still looks the same as it did in those pictures, you may want to clean up your wiring before this little guy starts crawling around. I was at a job the other day and the client said "has anyone seen Tommy?" We went to the other room and he had wrapped stereo cable around his neck so tight his face was purple. Lucky we caught him when we did. Share this story with your wife so you can get the thumbs up to spend more money on some professional looking wiring conduit.
