Very Cool :thumb:

With a room that size, you might also want to experiment with Push/Pull with the subs.

I'd go nearfeild, with Push/Pull, and I bet you'll be very surprised with the quality of sound (especially bass detail) when listening at low levels.

The room also looks very live, so you may need room/acoustic treatment (or a listening chamber) to listen at higher SPL's.

Looking forward to hearing how it sounds with an additional LARGER.

Well, the gear is fine.  I'd do a few things with the room, though.  Bare walls and floor, and all that stuff between the speakers probably is not ideal.

As John says, if you can pull the mains forward a bit that might help.  Otherwise consider getting a plasma screen and either shifting the rack elsewhere or getting a smaller one.  A rug on the floor might help.  Wall treatments are good, if your spousal unit is agreeable.  I use about 80 sf of acoustic foam, and some oriental rugs on the wall, with a lot of heavy cotton batting behind them - of course, what you do depends on your room acoustics issues.  But looking at your room it's probably a bit bright.

Nice sub.

Nice room and nice setup. As a suggestion I would try a couple of stacked throw rugs on the floor each side between your seating position and the speakers, these being one set of first reflection points. This is an expensive, good tweak. If possible also put something absorptive on the walls at the first reflection point there as well. Good listening.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Plasma TV is about a year away for me... but I built the TV stand and with its design I was preparing for one. looks kind of rediculous with that small TV, hehe...

As for room treatments - Im contemplating it, the rug is probally the best one Ive heard. I like nothing on my walls - for whatever reason...

But the rug, I definitely would like to play around with that.

Thanks again. I appreciate it.
