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

it is a Sony KV-40XBR800 if that helps.

The M22ti's are: Video-shielded for maximum placement options

you would think it would be okay

I like John's solution of using a reciprocating saw or similar tool and cutting out the narrow vertical wall between the two nooks. This would allow lots of room for the TV and main speakers. You'd just have to figure out a way of filling in the missing carpet where the wall is now. Perhaps the TV stand could sit over that spot or something.

Just an idea.

They're pretty well shielded... but the magnet on the M22 tweeter is heavier than your entire Bose system, and the magnets on the woofers are even bigger...

I just found that M2s placed right on top of my cheap 27" CRT caused a bit of fringing... I think "beside" was OK just want to make sure. The VP100 has even more shielding so it's fine even on top...

I had to move my M40s about 7" or so away from my TV. Those two didn't get along very well.

not soo worried about the sub, since it won't be right next to the tv.

as for removing the wall, it might be a good long term solution but it isn't something I will do by the time I buy everything. I doubt I would do the work myself and I barely have enough money for the surround sound as it is, especially since I found out my trip to India might be pushedup 6 months.

With that setup, you are kinda trying to make a home theater out of half a room. It's tough doing that.

In my opinion, moving the TV in front of the window would be a much better option. That way, you can spread out the m22's, get a nice open viewing area instead of a closed off one. You could put one of the QS4's/QS8's above the fireplace, the other one on the other wall.

I'm assuming there is a wall off to the right in the picture. If there is, I think this way would work out perfectly. That is the way most home theaters work out the best, in a long rectangle-ish room.

Having that TV in that little niche is really hard to set up a good audio set up. It's kinda screaming to be moved to an "open" spot.

Good luck! More pictures of your room might help.

I understand what you are saying but moving the tv to the wall with the window wouldn't work that well either.

it would be good for speaker placement but as you noticed, the room is rectangular. I would have to put the couch next to the fireplace (which I wouldn't want to do) and wiring the back speakers would be much more complicated. also, the look of the room would be much more closed off. on top of that, part of the reason I liked this house was that the kitchen over looked the family room, meaning you could watch tv while doing dishes, etc. That would no long be the case if I moved the tv.

ok...but these are the last pics

I see, thanks for posting them.

What others suggested concerning pulling out the TV would be your best bet.

Very nice setup heath.
