7. Comments and/or stories about your Martin Logan experience:

Finally made it into the new house, and I'm slowly installing and tweaking the setup to get back to where I was in the old house. This room is a little more condusive to good aucoustics (sloped walls, etc), although I haven't yet closed the large entryway to the room. This is causing some echo from the rest of the house, and the occasional, "turn it down!" from the wife. The speakers are a little wider than I'd like, due to the screen size.

2/16/13 Update: after several years, equipment is dialed in. Installed heavy drapes, which really helped with back wave and other room reflections.

To do's (looking less likely anytime soon):
Tube amp for the front L/R
Larger Logans (someday)
Vinyl

Steve, Welcome !, I can tell by the toys on the floor of your theatre that you must have young ones in the 'nest' !!

a few more pics

the wires are very prominent due to the flash, but they are really not that visible!

Yup, a two year old daughter...who loves watching her shows on the big screen. Actually, she gets more use out of the room than I do! She is a good girl though...never touches daddy's speakers!

Great looking system, Steve.
I'd kill for a big room like that.

Thanks for the props from the Austin crowd! It's a work in progress, but the new room was a pretty big step!:band:
