A compromise between lounge and cinema ?

Mmmmm - not gfot these pix sorted  yet ! Sorry

Have I sorted these pix yet? I think they work now but not after some little effort !

Cheers

There you go 

That is great thankyou Messiah. Burrrrrt - Ill need to get rid of my pix and leave yours ... here we go ...

Just Right Click and 'view image' to see the full size picture...

Nope ! My options dont include that option. I would be happy with 'your' pix - but I can't delete mine .. or can I ..

Just click on "Edit" on your first post and edit away....

Nice set up and good layout. Not sure about the floral stuff everywhere though, but suppose you can't have it all your own way

Saturday morning cooking programmes are probably worse than a bunch or two of flowers but guess we have to compromise !

Although I dont intend to 'rip' my sytem apart - a reason for posting pix is to elicit comments for minor tweaks. Would a big hole in the front AV furniture help (presently port is 'socked'!); position of speakers - too close to TV / walls ?; Toe in for speakers? Is the centre back speaker behind the setee any use? Comments appreciated.

Cheers

PF30 for my two subs now in place and a PF50 on order for the front kit. Sounds good to me now but I'm sure I can tweak it some more ! My partner enjoys the sound as much as me and visitors seem to enjoy the new lounge.

Cheers all

Rob,

Nice set-up. How do you find the Yamaha musically? Do you listen to much music or is it mainly used for home cinema? The reason I ask is I've always gone for more musical AV receivers as I'm not (unfortunately) in a position to have a seperate hi-fi set-up from the daily home cinema one. I looked at a Yamaha a few years back and was impressed, but in the end opted for an Onkyo. Its always in the back of my mind to try one when I look at my next upgrade.

Cheers,

Nick

Nice layout you got there.

I have the same speakers and have just got the 2065 amp I was toying with two subs, do you find 2 subs overpowering or more refined ?

Well '1585' - Hi Nicholas - I do find the Yamy more musical than my old Denon 1906 though the main improvement was with the sound stage and detail I guess. I recon that the room dimensions and positioning play the biggest part and with fairly old ears I think detailed comparison is difficult. I know I am too old when I find it impossible to move the sub anymore.

Thanks for your comments

Hya Stu. So its you thats stolen all my kit then ! Its great to find someone with much the same kit to compare notes. I would be interested to see your layout and know what twaeks you have found of benefit. The subs well - I had an old Yamaha sub from an earlier system which I set to quite low and it seems to give a nice kick - not too overpowering if adjusted carefully. Still experimenting with large/small - currently set up with fronts large and 80Hz crossover. I dont use the PEQ either. i would be interested in knowing your ideal settings and I am going to keep fiddling with the toe in following the Spendor debate in an earlier thread. Recon one of my biggest problems may be the centre sat 'in a box' - I may need to remove the back of the cabinet (when my partner is out).

PS - New Sky anytime + is interesting but only SD

Cheers
