Post pics of your home theater audio setups!

You guys need to learn how to properly place speakers. I see a lot of large speakers placed right up aginst the back wall, thats BAD!! :nono: Speakers almost always sound better at least two feet from the rear wall. The bass gets really thumpy when they are so close. Baaaaaad boys!!! :p

Yea they do that. What I would do is mark a spot on the floor where they sound best and move them into that position when you want to listen then move em back when you're done. Try moving them out about 2feet and listen, it can make a huge difference. If the speakers are ported you can stuff the ports with some foam that allows air to still flow through but restricts it. That can help with the bass hump around 80 Hertz or so. Some speaker manufactures actuall give you the plugs when you buy the speakers.

Got a new tv and audio receiver. :D
Picked up the Samsung LN55C630 1080P 120hz LCD TV and the Yamaha RX-V467.
Me and my wife mounted it above the fireplace ourselves. I started to give up after running into some problems but kept at it and here is what we have now...

We just stuck the older DLP set in the computer room for now, that you can see in the background. I'm going to try and sell it and the Onkyo receiver to pay for some of this. Also the other cabinet and the small bookcase by the door will be gone, just stuck it there for now.

Loving it so far :thumbsup:

[bob saget]

that room has cozy written all over it :)

[betterdan]

Yea it is cozy. :)

Damn I just noticed I posted this in the wrong thread. This is the Home Theater audio setup thread. I meant to post it in the home theater pics thread. :o

Well since I did I guess I can say this Yamaha receiver sounds incredible especially for a $299 one. :thumbsup:
The old Onkyo one couldn't decode the new blu ray audio codecs so this is the first time I'm hearing them and they are very nice. Watching Avatar today it seriously sounded like we were in a theater. I had no idea it was going to sound this much better than my older Onkyo receiver, I just mainly wanted it for the HDMI switching. Another added benefit is that the audio dropouts I used to get all the time from Directv seem to be gone. People with Onkyo receivers were having the problem the worst since it took Onkyo receivers longer to recover so a split second dropout would turn into a 1-2 second dropout.
