Nice job on the room. It looks good.
How does it sound now, and do you still cover your TV with something?
It sounds great. I went to a new tube-based preamp (RWA Isabella) that has smoother highs, so there was less need to cover the TV. I also ended up with a Monster Trap below the TV that likely bleeds off some front-wall reflections. Hopefully it may also be helping a bit for bass cancellation, even though it is not on the traditional 45% angle (this trap is 6" thick, and because of the base board, sits out almost an inch at the floor).
I just sold my Compact Hemps (and my ACI sub is for sale), and am replacing with Omega's new Super 6 Alnico Monitor and a DeepHemp. Once they are in, I will reevaluate the TV to see if covering it with something helps (moving the 242 in and out was a bit of a pain).
I am very pleased with both the sound and the way the room looks -- unfortunately the camera does not do a good job of picking up colors and such. But it has a nice feel. My wife even likes the way it looks (surprisingly enough!).
Other than new speakers, I still want to order new speaker cables and do more to hide the wires. Then I will be done (at least for a while
).
