Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Question about HT set up

You and Rick are both half correct. When I built the HT cabinet I made provisions for a roll out shelf should it be needed. Once the cabinet was finsihed and the M80 was insdie of the cabinet, I did not find a need to build the shelf. I did a lot of comparing the sound with the 80 in and out of the cabinet, and out of about 20 people that heard the system over the months, no one could detect any noticable differance in sound, and this was done at normal levels, so it was not that they sound level was so high thery was no accurate way of telling. LOL

Since it worked out well before, the new design will have even a larger area for the center speaker to be housed in, but if need be, I can always add a roll out for the speaker., will see how it goes.

Also the HT web pages are being updated/changed, so things can be a bit wierd for now....its a spare time thing I'm working on.

The Rock N Haxiom at the bottom of each of my post is a clickable link to the HT pages.

that would assume I knew how to put pics on this site

pretty easy, read the FAQ section, the IMG and /IMG tag is placed at the front/end of your URL path of where you host your pictures.

If you have a website, just use the link for your JPG image, or if you don't, sign up for http://www.photobucket.com it is free for hosting pictures.

That was pretty fast !!

The pictures help a lot. I understand the problem now -- the fireplace is pretty close to the alcove. You could fit M22s on stands but they would have to be right up against the sides of the TV to avoid blocking the fireplace view from the right side of the couch.

That is probably still the best approach... and M22s are DEFINITELY the way to go because of their narrow width.

I can't make out if your TV is a really thin direct view CRT or a rear-projection -- just wanted to be really sure that the M22s wouldn't interfere with your picture if positioned very close to the sides.

I would be thinking hard about taking a Sawzall to the vertical divider just to the right of the TV, but that's why I like to get a second opinion before actually DOING anything

there is nothing thin about that crt, that's for sure.

40" HDTV CRT. Weighs 300 pounds, I believe.

Nice pics, please don't tell me what you paid for that Bose setup.

We need to get you over on the Axiom bandwagon.

I did...a few years ago.

Now it is going into the bedroom.

Ahh. I thought it looked familiar.

OK folks, is anyone running M22s beside a direct-view CRT ? How close can you get ? Not trying to scare you, just trying to be careful...
