Looks nice! Have some jbls myself. Welcome from up nort' in da Brd lakes den. Lol
Btw, you'll find plenty of modest systems here(pretty sure mine is, as it's a living room install). I think proper setup can go much farther than throwing money. Again, welcome.
Bingo. Smart purchases and research can really make the difference. There are those who can throw a bunch of money at a system to get results, and those who throw a lot of research at a system. Most of the time a smartly designed budget theater can outperform a high price tag theater that's just thrown together without the research.
Very nice setup, Ryan. Great job using identical speakers across the front stage, I bet the sound is very clear and even. Get a bowl of popcorn and park it on that chaise for a good couple hours.
New couch since original post updated the pictures.
Thanks guys, yes it sounds very nice. Had to find something that was compact but packed a punch and having a pair of 305s and sub with my computer system I figured I'd just add three more speakers and call it a day.
I have a pair of Polk SRS 3.1TL Mains, Polk CS350 LS Center, Polk LS/FX Surrounds, SVS PB12-NSD, along with a row of 3 Palliser seating in the basement. Currently those fun items are not set up since moving into home. Hopefully I can start working on a room down there.
That little gizmo is a shelf for drinks, controllers, phone, etc.
I have 10 ft usb charging cables ran so you can keep phone plugged in. I mostly use my G4 to controll the system with quick remote on phone and Yamaha app.
Very nice set up, I know space is limited but have you tried moving the couch a few feet away from the wall? It probably would give you even better surround sound performance.
Here is the final room layout. I noticed the old picture was featured on Facebook. Changes have been 60in TV and adding the SVS SB13 Ultra with bi polar surround speakers mounted on wall. The other day I moved the couch out from the wall a tad and put the sub behind the couch and it sounds great has the tactile feel during scenes.
I've been perusing the web for some time now trying to figure a way to use my LSR305's for surround sound and stumbled across this! I had a question about your connections, not only the cables involved to connect your JBL's to the Yamaha receiver but also which ports you've connected them to (on the Yamaha)? I presume your using RCA-Y to 1/4-TS patch cables and connecting them from your LSR305's to the "Front", "Surround", "Sur. Back", "Center", and "Zone 2" analog inputs on the RX-A840 for 5.1? Correct me if I'm wrong!
That's almost the same shade of red I chose for my front wall... great minds, and stuff.
