Magnepan, Epson, Carada and Emotiva - My Pics

Hello,
I've just recently finished my Theater room so I thought I'd share some pics and see what you thought.

Basics are:
Magnepan MC1 x 4 and MMG-W x2
Emotiva XPA-5 Amp
AV123 Sub
Carada 104" 16x9 Screen
Epson 1080Ub

I am fully loving everything about the room and am so glad to have Maggies in my life again:). I had some MMG's a while ago and have been a believer every since.

These MC1's are even better and now instead of trying to push them with a Reciever like I was with the MMG's, the XPA-5 can do 350w/ch @ 4 ohm, so its nice to finally have some head room for these speakers. I didn't want to believe how much difference this was going to make. Dynamics are the easiest hear. Things just sound a whole lot less compressed. A piano note "bang" really hits you like it does in real life.

Also, I've been really happy with the way Movies work in this room, I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but its beautiful!

The one thing I did have to tune a bit was the sub. The AV123 was rather "house" tuned in my room. So I actually bought a parametic eq for that channel and have been very happy with the results so far. I still haven't run the room tuning software on it yet, but I'm fairly confident any problems will be solvable.

Thanks,
james
