Recently my wife gave me the "ok" for a small home theater system. At first, months ago she was opposed to it after she saw the TC SOUNDS LMS 5400 ULTRA on the living room. . Since she told me NO back then, I decided to use it on my van. Yeah I did it and was very impressed how detailed and...

First of all, thanks for let me be part of this community. As you see, I'm a new user, but I check this forum almost every time I need some information. Well, as to what brings me here, I need a help on defining my 5.1 speakers position. Actually, it is a 7.1, but I barely have movies with 7.1...

My first step to home theaterism I just got into home theater with the wife's approval. We live in a a town house, which is really an apartment, lets not kid ourselves. A home theater and apartment dwelling don't mix well, but I want what I want. My wife and I agreed that we'd wait to build our...

Hi, This is my first post here and I'm hoping to get some advice regarding bass traps or acoustic treatments for my apartment. It's a rented space, and it's not very big, so I want them to be as unobtrusive as possible. My setup is 2-channel only and I've already purchased Jim Smith's book "Get...

My wife and I are moving into a new place and it just so happens that our theater room is going to be right above the woman who lives downstairs bedroom. My setup is Energy take classics 5.1 on stands, and a Pioneer 1020k. In my current apartment I have never had one complaint from any of my...

I've been waiting to dive into the projector world for years now and am going to be moving to a new apartment in a few months and figure now is a better time than any so i want to start planning my setup accordingly. I've done a lot of research and it seems the 8350 is going to be my best bet...

Very soon my cousin is going to be handing me some cash to set him up a cheap.. CHEAP 5.1 setup for his apartment. The only real issues I have is picking up a cheap sub, preferably front firing as the downstairs landlord probably wouldn't enjoy a down-firing unit at any time of day. He just...

Hello ladies and gents, thank you for letting me ask stuff on these forums. I've tried this in a few different message boards now but the response has either been inconclusive or there has been no response at all. :R Practical things first: I live in Europe so quite a few of those wonderful...

I'm somewhat ignorant on the specifics of home theater and was hoping people could provide advice or thoughts on possible upgrades for my home theater 'system.' I currently live in a small apartment (~400 sq ft; viewing area probably 1/2 that) so system volume is not terribly important to me...
