I love to see pic's of everyone's setup. I wish more people took pics of the rest of their room!Sorry for the links...I forgot how to load them properly. Any help would be appreciated!!!
Front wall (my equipment is usually never stacked! (getting IC's upgraded)There's also about 5 ft. from the outer edge of the speaker to the wall.

Left wall w/ listening buddy-BTW the lil fridge is hooked to a separate circuit, but I still turn it off for classical, jazz, or most blues MuSiC.

Nice room. I see you got the 3.6s. Makes me fondly remember my 3.5s, as they were that same color scheme. Enjoy!
Thanx. where's your pic?I like the off-white much better than the black in this room. yeah, I love the 3.6's even while their being broken in-I'm surprised how different they are from my 1.6's (in a good way in almost every sense, but they sound a lil different than I was expecting.
I put up 2 7' fake Ficus plants/(trees almost) on my side walls and blocks under all my gear this weekend-about to have my 1st listening session now to see if I can hear the changes...Hope the Zeus gets here soon!
Here is a pic of the way the room looks now.
Avoided the compuer the 1st few dayz of this week...I'm pretty sure I saw your pic from '00 a long time ago...Looks like you've done quite a few changes (well, I've read some of your posts and know you change gear...on a more regular basis than most!).
I know I could look up a past post to see what speakers you're running now, but I'll just ask you...Brand? Model? They look nice...a bit dark compared to the rest of the room, but it's for listening not the view right?
Looks like you've changed some other gear too. what cdp iz that?
Does it ever bother you that the fan is off center? I ask because my room is off by a few inches and yet I let it bug the hell out of me.
Take care bro, and happy listening!

Here is my old pic. I actually have a pic of my modified 1.6s in the MUG gallery from 2000.
Suggestion: with the dark walls, some Home Depot Up lights (little canned lights that sit on the ground), maybe start with one behind each speaker, or in the corners, would look nice. Turn them on and all the other lights off for evening listening. I've found good lighting can give red walls the dramatic look they usually are made for.
Great suggestion! I can say this because I own 12 aluminum ball light fixtures that sound exactly like what your describing. My room setup used to be backwards from how it is now...front was back wall back wall was front etc...At that time I had 'em all set out 2 in every corner and 2 on each side.Now I'm only using 2 now behind my couch, very warm feel at night. I was thinking of adding 1 behind each 7ft Ficus (fake) tree that I just got today and also one in each corner of the front wall. You may be able to tell from the back wall pic that I have 1 in each corner behind the fireplace.
If the extra 4 are too much I'll just take 2 away, as I said I have 12 of these things...I love 'em!
take care,
Jon
Definitely post a pic with the lights and plant. It should really dress it up.
No prob. I'll try to do it tomorrow or Monday.
