Why can't I have cheap hobbies? In my case we're looking to buy a house with a bigger basement (so we can have a bigger screen) & a 3 car garage. We don't need a bigger house, but our hobbies demand it
I was talking about women... another expensive hobby!

Well, atleast the sub matches everything!

Although couldn't you aim the CC up a bit? Ideally you'd want it at ear level or just above. Not on the floor like that. But that's just me being anal

Yeah. I wasn't too concerned with everything matching, as long as it sounded good.
As far as the center channel, yeah I was worried about that too. But surprisingly it still sounds just like it did when it was right in front of the tv. I was going to put the receiver and players on the bottom shelf and the center channel on the glass shelve, but that center channel weighs like 35 pounds. when I put it on the glass shelve, the shelf started bowing, so I didn't feel safe leaving it there.

Unfortunately, with the way the room is setup, I can't.

There is a door on both of the sides. On the right side, there is a built in hutch. On the left hand side, just an open doorway.

I can't put the tv and stuff on the adjacent wall, cause then I am sitting too far away. Once I buy my own house (I am renting right now) then I will be able to arrange things appropriately.

just bustin' balls... mine are too close together too... (although not nearly that close...

but we are moving in the next 10 days so I should be able to fix that...

althought I can't fix the fact I have no way of putting up rear speakers yet...

You should at least put your center channel where your amp is. It's way too low.

If i had to buy DLP, I'd either buy a 720p one (still am not convinced that 1080p dlps are really 1080p since they are wobulated) or if I went 1080p i'd go with a LED DLP...

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HLT618...013074&sr=1-1\

this one is bigger and in the same price range...

longer bulb life, no color wheel...

Thanks.

Yeah, I am very happy with it right now. I will eventually get those surrounds too, but for now I am happy.

Oh and normally those speakers are all covered with their grills.

I would but I have a small dog and a cat. I am too worried that they will crash into one of the speakers and ruin it.

Yeah, it puts out alot of bass. I had the gain and crossover set all the way to max at first, but had to turn the gain down, because it was rattling things off of my walls. The bass sounds awesome, especially compared to what I had. It was cool to watch transformers and hear all sorts of bass that I wasn't hearing before. I am getting some bass from the jbl fronts too, which makes it even better. The nice thing though is that the bass is very tight. You can tell there isn't alot of distortion in it.

See the quote attached.

I have a shelf I bought and brackets to install it right above the TV, but am having trouble accurately finding the studs in the wall.
