Ted_B's Home Theater (old)

Old stuff
Thumbnail for Continuum AD as right suround, with Intermediate Mundorf external crossover - although the perspective here looks like the sofa would be in the way, it is not. The speaker is aimed toward the sweetspot listening chair in the front row. My heros, Bob and Jason (and buddy Rob) left at 3am after a long night of setup, mods, pizza, wings, beer and surround music!!! God Bless Them.
Thumbnail for Continuum AD as left music surround speaker. Intermediate Mundof xover is hidden. - although the perspective here looks like the sofa would be in the way, it is not. The speaker is aimed toward the sweetspot listening chair in the front row. My heros, Bob and Jason (and buddy Rob) left at 3am after a long night of setup, mods, pizza, wings, beer and surround music!!! God Bless Them.
Thumbnail for Rear view (lightened so the Continuums are easily visible) of room as of May 3 2008 - although the perspective here looks like the sofa would be in the way, it is not. The speakers are toed-in toward the sweetspot Ekornes listening chair in the front row. Ultimately the entire back of the room, starting right behind the listening chair (i.e sofa, table, surrounds) will be on an 8 inch riser, level with the foyer entrance.

Thumbnail for Front soundstage of all-SP Tech Rev/Continuum 5.1 music system. All fronts have Ulitmate Mundorf external crossovers - This view is from the listening chair. Ultimately the front amps will be side-by-side, and the center Ultimate Mundorf crossover box (seen turned around here) will be centered below them . The Revelations MR ! can now be called MKIV as they were modified with the latest tweeter mods tonight. Beautiful powerful music was heard by all (and likely the neighbors!!).

Thumbnail for Front of room with drapes open, showing Stewart Studiotek 110" screen - The all-SP Tech setup for 2 ch and 5.1 music still uses the front three SP Tech's for the 7.1 movie setup. The surrounds are then switched from the Continuum AD rears (music) to the Alon sides and rears (dipoles).
Thumbnail for equipment on right side wall, prior to room repaint/renovate - Shows audio and video stacks. Shows patched area where HDMi cabling was run from ceiling mounted DLP pj to main equipment area.

In next month the walls will be dark gray, the ceiling and sloped areas will be black, and the carpet will be a gray/black pattern. The area behind the main listening seats will be raised on an 8 inch riser, even with the foyer entrance (where I stood to take this shot).
