    Does everyone have to drink a shot of Baileys before they can watch a movie?

    Hallsy,

    What rears are you using with your AE Aegis evo 3's ?

    Im using the same fronts with evo 1 rears, they have begun to annoy me now due to the size of them and the fact i cant get a decent sound stage from them due to space.

    Is there anything available that i could sink into the wall but that could produce the same sound level ?

    If i am honest im now tired of looking at speakers as all the ones i find that are suitable for my application are pants

    Do you leave your 360 upright all the time?

    Thanks , I have the 1050i floorstanders bi-amped and the jamo's connected to the front B outputs to widen the soundstage. Sounds pretty good.

    Boarding and skimming the shelves/boxes was a complete ball ache but worth it in the end.

    I've done something similar upstairs as a back up COD zone, for when our Gert wants to watch tele. I'll take a pic.

    I've got the same setup and I know what you mean. All my speakers have about 2 feet between the backs and the walls. I believe if you do something with the bass ports it can help, but it will probably alter their sound in other ways.

    I remember the reviews for these speakers always used to say things like '"need lots of room." An ex-girlfriend was really not happy when I bought some Atacama speaker stands as she thought they looked horrible and that the evo1's which were my only two speakers at the time, sounded great on the floor (girls don't see speakers like we see them, and like to hide them and make them match the curtins and things) but once I lifted the speakers up onto them as they were playing and she heard the difference from just the positioning she was okay about them.

    I have had it about a week, it tends to get moved about a fair bit...

    Does it make any difference which way up it is?

    I tried to find a cabinet today for all the stuff, but failed

    I had mine upright until I scratched my first game beyond repair.

    The slightest knock when on or not even that in my case it was just me walking near it upright on the floor and the game jumped out of alignment and deeply scored it. Layed it horizontal ever since!!!

    Arcam AVR200 amp (it desperately needs upgrading )
    B&W CDM 7SE front speakers
    B&W CDM CSE centre speaker
    B&W rear speakers of some sort (were my original front speakers 12 years ago )
    SVS subwoofer (can't remember the model number off the top of my head )

    Oh and an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player

    + lots and lots of DVDs, Blurays and stupidly overpriced cables that I bought when I had more money than sense
    I'm liking the sound of that setup

    Mine is

    Panasonic TH42PZ70 Plasma
    Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver
    Kef IQ7 Fronts
    Kef IQ6c Center
    Kef IQ3 Rear
    REL T1 Sub Bass System
    Roksan Kandy L3 CD Player
    Panasonic DMP BD35 Bluray Player
    Sony PS3 320GB
    Toshiba HD-EP30 (EP35 Firmware) HD DVD Player
    Onkyo iPod Dock
    Apple Airport Express

    Love the musicality of the system......

    And have a B&W Zeppelin iPod dock in another room.

    Mine are actually AE Aesprit 309's, but for the rears I am using some Gale bipolars. Not great, and they are something I want to change, however, they do deal with the effects well, and as we sit quite close to the rear wall they do well to spread the effects.

    What I really should have bought when I got my other AE speakers was the wall mount rears.

    AE301 iirc - these: http://www.acoustic-energy.co.uk/Abo...tory/AE301.asp

    But as they're discontinued now, I will probably just upgrade my bipolars to some better ones. They work well in our room layout, bookshelfs would be too much.

    Cheers guys. The amp needs upgrading soon as it doesn't support anything beyond Dolby Digital and DTS on-board, so although the decoding is done in the player at the mo, the player doesn't decode DTS-Master . I would take a photo but it's not the tidiest looking setup . I also haven't got around to getting the small half-pipe to cover the 2 thin cables that feed into the TV - it will look like the world's thinnest TV/monitor stand when it's done, even though the TV is fixed to the wall

    The only weakness in the setup is the fact that the main front speakers go so low - without much of a problem - that the sub is almost lost. I'm going to re-wire it so that the speakers go via the sub so that only it is driving the bass frequencies. It also means I'll get some super bassy music

    Ash - what's your Onkyo like? I'm 99.999% certain that I'm getting an Onkyo when I chop the Arcam in and interested to know how yours sounds on normal music

    Hallsy - I like the cleanness of the room, but I'd go mental in a room that spartan

    Danny-Mac - your setup looks really nicely done
