Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Gallery HG Rosewood's (I think I'm done)

I am putting the link up for my previous gallery so I won't have to post all my old pics back here. My system has changed quite a bit since I joined up here a few years ago. In this gallery I will give all the details of my current setup and hopefully my last setup. So here we go!

All my speakers have the HG Rosewood finish. the setup has:
Fronts M80's
Centre VP180
Side Surrounds A's M80's
Side Surrounds B's QS8's
Rear Surround VP150
Subwoofers front l and r EP800's
Subwoofer rear EP500

Other equipment
Powering the front soundstage Axiom A1400-8
Powering all the surrounds in bridged mode Denon POA-A1HDCI
Pre-Pro Denon AVP-A1HDCI
Universal player OPPO BDP-83
DVD player OPPO DV-983H
Satellite Receiver Bell 9242
Apple TV
Monitors 60" Pioneer Kuro PRO-141FD For watching visuals
23" Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD For listening to music

That's it.
I will "suffer" with what I currently have until death us do part.
Maybe one day I will get a proper HT room but not in my current house. Luckily I have no more room for speakers.

I bet that will be a treat; it's on my list!

I've got the blue man group bluray. Not my type of thing but I will put it in the player to see if I hear anything from the rear surround.

So I watched the blue man group bluray for a couple of sections ( that's all I could handle). I first watched in 5.1 and then I watched in DTS Neo 6. What I did notice from the 5.1 to the 6.1 was the small gap in sound i hadn't noticed in 5.1 seemed to not be there in the 6.1. I will have to experiment some more when I have more time.

The new 7.1 mix on The Nightmare Before Christmas BD has a lot of activity on the rear channels.

Thanks Chris.

How big is your room.

Can you tell us something about the bass combos ep500 v.s. ep800 v.s. 2 ep800s v.s. ep800+ep500 v.s. 2ep800+ep500.

I was wondering if in a 12 x 17' room if 2 ep800s (or some combo of 800 and ...) would be waste and sound no better then say 2 ep500s.

I hate to say this but I don't really know the measurements of my room at the moment (I believe it's 15' x 17'). I'm in Chicago at this time but when I get back home I will post the dimensions.
The EP500 worked great in my room but when the EP800 came out I had to have it. The later I wanted a matching set up front, didn't want matching 500's but matching 800's. If I had a choice between the 500 or 800 it would definitely be the 800. Lower frequencies and power. I just got a little carried away with my system but I think I have recovered and that's it. Except maybe the QS8 for the rear.
Sorry I'm not much help here.

At the moment? Do they change? That'd be an awesome way to fight standing waves.

You mean you've never had your walls move in and out? You don't know what your missing!

Not since I was a teenager and tried some LSD.
