Post photos of your systems/rooms here!

The sub is in front of you, really?
Nice touch that "candle" there.

 

There's been a few changes but here's and old pic

Surround system

 

Last one

 

Forgot the surround rack

 

Norm's place is a FUN place to hang out, watch a Springsteen DVD or plain listen to great music. Excellent sound and video!

I've been there a couple of times.

 

Thanks Ben
I have added a few tweeks since these photos were taken. The main ones are the Tube Buffer and MF Power Box on the Arcam CD player. Also I have moved the Totems up a couple of feet to try and give all those speakers some breathing room. It's still pretty cramped up there. I am entertaining different options about this problem. One involves ditching the Pioneer Elite 64" and hanging a plasma. A less expensive option involves moving that record rack and putting the surround rack in it's place. Those speakers look cool but they are too close to each other and that big screen

Here is a picture of my "modest system": The colorful throw is over the TV set because I put it there when listening to music to cut down on possible sound wave reflections from the Wega flat screen - the system doubles as my home theater also:

 

I plan to retire one day to the paradise of Norm's basement. the company's great, the beer's cold and the house is rockin!

 

Here is a pick of my rack and one speaker. I will get some photos of my tube amps soon.

 

You wouldn't get the good house keeping seal from my mom.

 

Please don't include pictures when quoting someone else's post in this thread. Do a quick edit and remove the <IMG> expressions. It's confusing.

 

I've found that bass is not really omnidirectional. Since it is the foundation of most pop music, IMO deep bass from a sub is best integrated when its distance from the listener is equidistant to the distance between bass panels/cones of the main speakers and the listener. Also, in my experience, sub bass is not overempahisized (and easier to optimize) when placed at the mid-point of the front wall as compared to placing it in a corner.

 

I'd love to post some pictures when I get the chance (I'm embarking on a business trip tomorrow). For now, you can see the list of my gear here.

 

Hey Dave, your speakers are up-side-down! Flip your speakers around so that the tweeters are on the top, and the woofers are on the bottom. This will improve imaging greatly, and clear up the bass range.

 

Beautiful room Randy!

 

Here's some pictures of my listening room.

 

I've often thought of "blanketing" the TV for the same reason! Now I might just move my entire 2-channel system upstairs, to my swingin' loft, though..

 

.......and it sounds as good as it looks.

 

Guess I'll throw my hat in as well.

I have Klipsh KG5.5's in the living room on the "B" set of the Dennon.

 

Doh!!!

 

Cool! I use Aphex stuff in the recording studio all of the time! Their mic pre's are really good, and so are their "cobranet" systems!

 

Don't worry Dave. I fixed them for ya!

 

Thanks, I can always count on you!

I just flipped them actually. It definitely helped!

Talk about an inexpensive tweak.
