Cool house.

I'd mount the TV lower and try to get all three front speakers on the same wall as the TV. Probably the wood finish for those.

I'd be tempted to get eggshell or white speakers for the surrounds, though.

Mike, you have exquisite taste.

Peter, I think you just want to move to Alaska. Ya do know that there are a lot of IT jobs here don’t you? All the oil companies have large IT departments.

I was thinking white for the surrounds too Tom. Either that or go with knotty pine in a satin finish. I suppose it’s either try to blend in, or make them stand out and look like they belong there.

He wants to get a larger TV. Probably a Sony 42” or 46”. It’ll have to get moved towards the left and dropped some.

I’m going to cheat and order him the EP400. It would be cool if I can get that in Teak. That’s what all his wood furniture is. It’s all hand carved stuff he brought back from Thailand.

The speakers aren’t really for kick but movie experiences, but for music when he has one of his house parties. It’ll be interesting to see how much sound these little fellers put out.

I am thinking in a room of that size the Accents are going to be underwhelming.

My thoughts exactly. My buddy isn't an audiophile or even an avid listener for that matter. He doesn't even spend much time at home. He has his own engineering firm and it keeps him moving all over the state, country and Canada. Plus, he just likes to travel. He probably spends three-four months a year on vacation in addition to his business travels. Considering that I probably spend more time in his house than he does, it’s pretty hard for me to give him too much crap about his A/V system.
