Hi,
New member obviously, but old owner (both the speakers and myself). They've been packed away in the basement until the kids were old enough to know better than to poke paperclips through the holes but I think its safe for them to come out now.
In addition we're building a new house and I'm thinking of doing something kind of, well weird. Our new living room has cloth panels to the right and left of the fireplace which are quite wide (over 30") and somewhat deep (about 15"). I'm thinking of making my own frames so I can mount the CLS's there. Hopefully it's not as bad a hack as it sounds. It would be about the same as placing the speakers 15" from the wall except I have the ability to sound treat the wall to substantially reduce reflections.
The obvious question is why. The answer is that as much as I'd like to put my speakers where they belong there is a serious spouse factor. I figured rather than live without the sound I like so much I'd put my current CLS's down in the listening room I've built in the basement and find an old pair that I could use in the living room. If it works out well then all the better and if not I put the panels back in their frames and sell them neither the speakers or myself worse for the trying.
Anybody ever made their own frames? Any experience with rooms where you were forced to put the speakers close to the wall and how it worked out (or any wall treatment you used)?
Thanks.
Steve
