I'm planning on gutting my basement in the future and building a proper home theater room. Because the basement will be "wide open" my layout for the home theater can pretty much be "wide open". So what is the optimal shape? A big rectangle may be the easiest to make but is it the best for...

Everyone talks about changing the positioning of the speakers but what about the listening position? If speaker placement is constrained does it help to change the placement of the most common listening position?

I currently have the following equipment in my home theatre: Denon AVR 5800 ML Quest Z's ML Logos 2 Pairs of ML Scripts SVS 16-46 PC-Plus powered Subwoofer I was running the entire system with the Denon AVR 5800 and was reasonably pleased with the sound. The only complaint was that the...

Except that Mercedes now is developing a horrible reputation for cars with all kinds of reliability problems. The old Mercedes used to run forever and were the teutonic tank. So while their marketing has improved and the product line has expanded to include a range of cars from entry level to...

Have you used Cinema 4d? I took a look at the website and it appears to be a 3d rendering program and not a theater design package as the name would lead one to believe.

Both I guess. I was wondering if there was a program that would do both. I think the room acoustics would be much harder to analyze but it would be nice if something was available. Thanks for the reply.

I went to my local high end stereo store and they were renovating their theater rooms. I noticed that they mounted the scripts upside down (woofer at the ceiling - electrostatic panel on the bottom) Does anyone know why they would mount them that way?

Has anyone used software to design the layout of a theater room? Is there a custom package specifically for this application? Or does one use a home design package? If so which package did you use?

Well I finally got the speakers powered up just to see what they sound like. First I hooked up the ReQuests then the Quest Z's. I used the same speaker wire and power cables for both sets of speakers and had the speakers positioned in roughly the same spots. Amazingly I find the Quest Z's to...

I just recieved my Quest Z's and ReQuest's and they are bigger than I had imagined! Both are similar in appearance although the Quest Z's are slightly taller. I did have a couple of concerns and thought I would ask here: 1) On the ReQuest electrostat panels I notice vertical "runs" or...

Well I went and bought a Denon AVR-5800 for my home theater. Does anyone have experience with this unit? I really wanted to go with separates but for the price I couldn't pass on this receiver. I also liked the idea that the amp can run multiroom systems so I can be watching a movie...

I was just wondering if a subwoofer was necessary for a home theater set up. ML speakers are biampable correct? If using ML speakers in front and rear has anyone considered wiring up the rear panels for rear surround and the rear bass drivers as "subs"? I'm thinking that the rear speakers...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I was just thinking that I don't have speakers for the rear yet...hmmmmm....maybe Quest Z's in the back and ReQuests up front. Do you think that would be overkill? I believe a lot of people use the Scripts in the rear but price wise I can probably score a set of...

Hello, Through the powers of E-Bay (Evil Bay to some) I just purchased the start of what I hope will be a very satisfying home theatre. A few weeks ago I purchased a pair of Quest Z's (just before 2 sets of ReQuests came up....damn - when it rains it pours) and I just bought a Logos center...
