Hi guys. Still working on the system. I don't have as much time to post now that I am back at work and hauling the kids to hockey all weekend. I received an e-mail from Gord today saying that he talked to the people at MIT Cables and they recommended these in wall termination systems. The...

I went in to talk to Gord today, but he was busy with other clients. I've been leaning towards the Voyages. I like the look and ESL nature of the Scripts better, but securing four may be a bit of a problem. And I am still unsure of the acoustics of having them mounted inches from the wall...

Well I've been mulling over the surround speakers for a few days. I think when I have the chance to speak with Gord again in the next few days I am going to look into the Voyages a little more. I really think having the electrostats integrated into the walls would look great but some large...

It's not winter around here until you have to shovel the snow over your head to do the driveway. :eek:

I had to get in on this thread with my personal favorite. It may have been posted before...I never went through all the pages...but its always good to put a smile on your face. Dancing Trombone Player.

I am planning to use bass traps so I think I'll plan on a single Descent i for the time being. Thanks for your feeback Rich and Craig as well.

I'm not sure how Sources or any other floor mount surround speakers will fit in my room. I just don't consider it that big. If I have to set my rear speakers a few feet from the back/side walls like the Summits up front, I defnitely won't be getting two rows of seating in. Which brings up...

I'm not a big fan of either of those speakers looks wise. For the money we spend on these speakers, it's nice to have their uniqueness out in the open to be seen. Where would you place one or two subs in a room like ours Rich? I'm thinking in the back corners. It's been my understanding...

Guys, I know everyone is super busy this time of year. But if I could get any feedback on this speaker combo it would be immensely appreciated. With the supposed price hike discussed in the other thread, I may have to pull the trigger on $25-$30K worth of speakers before the New Year. Thanks...

Lol. That's the line I get from Lightning Owners with one of my toys... Those are/were both mine. The '00 Lightning I owned for two years and put maybe 400 miles on it...never even had the intercooler recall completed. The Syclone beside it is my current bad boy...760HP/960TQ...and AWD...

Well crap. Can anyone else confirm this?

Well I made a reasonable QTVR panorama of the room, but I cannot figure out how to host it...neither smugmug nor youtube seem to like QTVRs for some reason. While I work that out, I would still appreciate comments on the Summit/Stage/Script i 7.1 setup I am currently leaning towards. I have...

I'm not sure if its going to make sense, but I will explain that there are stairs into the basement running along the long inner wall where the components will be housed. So basically the equipment rack will be set into the space under the stairs and the backs of all the components will be...

I'm thinking of running the 10g Belden 5000 myself now as well. I'm going to check on the feasibility of running conduit in the front wall so that I can change the speaker wire on the fronts later on. If I can sort that, I'll probably run the Belden for those as well at the outset. I read...

Thanks for the feedback Jerry. I always appreciate comments from others who have similar setups and offer suggestions on how to avoid their mistakes. I have considered the HVAC system. The room has in floor heat with ducting for forced air heat/central AC. I'm also planning on putting a...
