Monrozombi's HT rocks the Casbah

Monrozombi · 11-26-2006, 03:02 AM

Finally, after years of planning to show off my HT here it is:

Reciever: Sony STR-K75OP
DVD Player: LG DN 191H upconvert
TV: Samsung HP-S4253 42"

Here is the before

Monrozombi · 11-26-2006, 03:11 AM

After

Monrozombi · 11-26-2006, 03:14 AM

Here are the surrounds (I know they're up too high, i'm working on it) and my dvd towers, although they are a mess

raptors661 · 11-26-2006, 03:55 AM

Thats a nice looking HT ya got there, Monrozombi! i also love your Deadposters!

Monrozombi · 11-26-2006, 04:05 AM

Thanks, they're all signed by the cast/crew and Romero himself, they are the crown jewels of any of my collections

Pirate · 11-26-2006, 07:06 AM

Very nice!

I also love the posters. Very, very cool!

zepplongfellow · 11-26-2006, 07:55 AM

Nice setup man.

Iguana Man · 11-26-2006, 03:37 PM

Finally!

Why do you feel the surrounds are too high? Unless you have 10' ceilings, they appear fine to me.

And what movie is that?

not the front speakers, the back 2 speakers I have up higher, probably 3 feet higher then my fronts, my dvd towers around about 6', the rears are up around 8-9'

I was talking about the surrounds. So how high are your ceilings?

I'd say around 10 feet and I would guess that they're around 9 feet up

How high are they off the floor? When my friend was looking for height recommendations for installing his in-walls, I found people were generally installing them 5'-8' from the floor.

Peace...

Sycho, any suggestions for placement of my center speaker? If you can't tell, i'm backed in a corner so I can't mount it on the wall. How low should I go with the mains and should the rears line up with the front as well?

Iguana Man · 11-28-2006, 08:04 PM

If at all possible, I would try and rest the center on the top shelf in front of the TV. Assuming there is room to slide the tv back and still fit the center in front. I'd then move the speakers down somewhere into the bottom 1/3 of your tv's picture.

The rears...you could probably leave since it looks like they are bracket fastened and you may or may not want to spackle over the previous holes.

Pretty much like that, just try to keep all the fronts on the same level.

Here are some updated pics of the HT in the new house

Dammit, now i just ENVY you! How much did you pay for those?

Your set up looks much better this time around.

Iguana Man · 06-13-2007, 05:10 AM

Awesome Monro'. Very cool lighting as well!

(I'd still lower those fronts..

Raptors, I paid $225 for these back in 2004 from the mall after they renovated and figured they could make some money off of us fans, namely me.

Thanks for the kudos guys, I really like the set up now instead of how I had it at the old house, plus it looks way cooler now then then

ganthc · 06-13-2007, 06:07 PM

Very cool setup you have, Monro. The mood lighting, and the bigger space makes everything look better.

sub780lime · 06-13-2007, 09:28 PM

Very nice. Didnt even notice from the front how far out the stand and TV are from the wall.
