Finally took a pick of my setup. Didn't turn out the best but what you think? I seriously need to renovate my basement for a little more room. Right now I'm in a 10x10ft section of it. Oh well someday. Studio 20v3 for rears(not shown)

I'd like to comment ht however, I can't see the picture???

Your URL for the pic doesn’t seem to be working. I tried copying and pasting it into the browser’s address window and it still didn’t work.

But one thing you probably already know is that, at 10 feet by 10 feet, if that area is walled in, you have a square-shaped room. That shape is more prone to standing waves and room nodes than a rectangular or odd-shaped room which adverely affects the sound. So when you redo the setup, if possible, you’ll want to wall off an area with the length and width at different dimensions. (I assume the ceiling height is not also 10 feet – a cube is the worst shape for an HT. Ideally, you’ll want the height a different dimension than the length or the width.)

Ah, now I can see it!

It is very nice! Though I must side with what Burke said about it's dimensions. Great looking setup none the less.

The setup though in a 10x10 area does have one side open to the rest of the basement. Shouldn't be a problem then?

ht_Addict,

Great looking setup. I like the center speaker stand. Is it TV wall mount?

Correct. That open wall will make quite a difference. I thought it was a sealed area.

And I love the looks of the speakers!!! 8)

If I remember right its a B-Tech 518 TV wall mount. Below is a link to the website. Works excellent. They do have center speaker mounts but they can't take the weight of some off todays centers. And my Pardigm CC470 weighs in at 34ibs.

Very nice. Is that a Plasma unit or an RPTV? The whole bottom side looks dark here, I can't tell. Where's the equipment at anyway?

Thanks for the compliments. I redid the picture to get a better shot. My trusty Kodak DC4800 just isn't too good in low light settings. Before anyone says it, I know the wires look a mess. Until I get my basement renovated to a dedicated HT room its the way it has too be. The solid wood legs are to hold up the bottom shelf that my 1095 rests on. It just a tad heavier than the weight allowed. Then again I bought the rack when I had my 1066 amp. Thanks again.

Wiring is a difficult problem to solve. Especially with racks that are more open than closed in. Mine did look like the back side of a Nasa control center before finally getting back there and straightening it out. It takes a lot of work the more gear you have. When you do it, try to group power cords together, video together, and audio together. Your soundstage and image will be improved for it. Separate power cords from everything else, and if you must cross them, cross at 90 degree angle as much as possible.

Good lord, that's a whole loads of wires you've got there !

You need a decorator/wife to compete the job... :LOL: (& a bigger room).

Kinda happens when you bi-wire all your speakers. The setup is located in a 10x10 section of my basement for now. I have to look at renovating the basement so I can move it to a better location. I have changed out the rack and moved the center to the floor. Here's an updated look.

How does the speaker sound after being relocated below the television?

You will notice in the picture the white rubber door stops that are on the stands under the speaker. They angle the front of the speaker up to the listener. It makes for a more realistic feeling that the audio is coming out of the tv screen. Above the tv sounded good, but infront is better.

I only just changed the center from above to infront a couple days ago. About all I've done as far as setting it up is change the speaker distance and re-calibrate everything to 75db with SPL. I'm using the new Yamaha RX-V1400 as a pre/pro so hopefully this weekend I'll use the YPOA feature to calibrate everything.
