Bought this for a few bucks awhile back and finally had a listen the other week. Very nice CD, good acoustics and of course the music is quintessential 80's. If you have never listened to this...

A few months ago I saw a video of a company that makes these "sheet rock suspenders". Basically it's a screw connector that goes between the sheet rock and the supporting wood beams. It essentially...

I did not use the full area dampening material in my home theater but I understand that it works quite well. Of course some strategically placed acoustic panels can go a long way as well. ...

Nice to hear things are moving forward!

As for the comments. I think the larger the room, the more happy you'll be and it allows for more seating arrangements, speaker placement, etc...

I did a complete home theater build about 2 years ago. Here is a link with some pictures:

Home Theater build

I read through the messages of this forum and just some words of wisdom:

I use a APC H15BLK AV 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner.

I think it is very good and rather inexpensive when compared to other "audiophile grade" conditioners. I have also found the tech support at...

Same thoughts, awesome room, awesome hardware,... terrible combination.

I just bought a Hsu Research VTF-15H subwoofer and I can vouch for these. It's really powerful and VERY tight. Running test tones really show off the vast differences bewteen 16 and 20 hz, 50 and...

Congrats on the new listening space! Let's see some pics. :)

Well, 10.5 x 12 is really small. Frankly, It's going to be difficult to position the system as you will want the speaker at least 3 feet off of the front wall, and that means even you sit all the...

I would just like to say that although "acoustically transparent screens" have minimal effect on sound, they are not truly acoustically "transparent". There is some distortion and absorption of the...

I use a 150" (diagonal) screen with some ML Vantages. I find that the speakers sound best about 5 ft off the front wall, so I have them in front. I sit about 15 ft from projector screen (and...

timm,
First, good luck with the house hunting! As for your question, 12x15 ft is pretty small. It is doable, but obviously a larger room will give you a fuller soundstage and better acoustics. ...

I use my ML vantages on hard wood floors and I didn't want to ruin the floor with my Mapleshade Threaded Heaveyfeet brass spikes. I made some marble coasters for the speaker feet. Below is a...

Very cool. I was hunting for that Eric Clapton album as well. I have the 2 channel stereo version but I am aware that there is an AC3 version if memory serves. I have a few concert LD's and they...

Very cool, another CLD-97 user! Do you by any chance have an AC3 mod installed. It's nice to experience the later laserdisc releases in glorious 5.1!

This is why they invented listening rooms and home theaters. Designate one room to be the listening room with the priority of good sound. Putting the stereo in the living room is bound to cause...

Cool. I feel jealous if you have "too much equipment" and CJ doesn't make the active list! :)

Yeah, you should join the site as an owner of multiple CJ products you probably have some great...

After getting inspiration from MLO, I decided to make a similar site for Conrad Johnson owners. It's a much smaller community but hopefully it will allow for CJ owners to discuss there issues much...

Post some pics if you have time. I'm always interested in fellow dedicated home theater setups!

I have others complain of this as well. I can't offer an opinion as I went straight to bi-wire. Many just buy new better grade jumpers to replace the stock ML ones.

Frankly I'm not surprised. Once again, biwire vs single wire is "highly" controversial. I would not go out of your way to spend a lot of extra money for biwiring (even though that is what I use). ...

It's a good thing you looked it up! Yeah, so stay away from the biamping. You still may consider biwire vs single wire. There is debate on whether biwiring will improve the sound. If you have the...

Be careful, not all ML speakers with two terminals can be Bi-Amped. For example, my Martin Logan Vantages have two terminals but they can only be biWired, and not biAmped. Check in the manual to...

Your are correct. Biwire is essentially a "Y" split cable. One end has a single termination and the other has two. There are three main speaker cable setup that people use: Single wire, biwire,...
