Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Home Theater Pictures

I wish I would have taken some before photos and the progress. Anyway, just imagine four poured concrete walls, concrete floor and a bare stud wall in the middle. I actually miss having the project to work on. I spent way more time planning and completing the construction than I spent on planning the home theater. (I let you guys do all that planning!)

Alan, that cat certainly over estimates his importance in this house. Anyway, with regard to cats in general, I have an idea for Axiom's next speaker design. How about putting ballast in the bottom of the tower speakers to prevent them from tipping over when cats jump onto them and off again. That pictured cat has a very annoying habit of jumping from the top of my M60's to the top of an adjacent entertainment center that is about 3 feet above the speakers. Each time he jumps the speaker wobbles just a little bit. Maybe instead of ballast in the speaker, you could build some type of electronic zapper into the top of the speakers.

and I would imagine that cat proof grills would be very popular as well

Another option is to play loud recordings of snarling dogs from them.

EEEEEWWWWW!! Terrifying concept.

That's it, Jack, I'm calling an emergency intervention, upping your meds, and detaining you to the UCLA medical center where you can have group therapy with Britney Spears and friends. ~~~

I'm not quite sure if we want pictures of that.

Hi,

Well, that cat does seem to exude a certain "attitude" of which you speak.

At one point at Axiom, we discussed some sort of outrigger arrangement for the base of the M60s or the M80s to give them greater stability, but the discussion never went farther. We all thought the outrigger thing would be too cumbersome and unworkable.

Regards,

Alan

Couldn't you just take a bigger piece o' plywood, paint or stain it to your liking, and attach it to the the bottom of the speakers?

I figured I would do something like this if I ever had kids pushing on the speakers. Nick, take note!
