I surrender: Can you please help me?

Beastie1 Unregistered guest	Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 18:09 GMT I have been trying to make up my mind on which speakers to go with to compliemnt my vegas in my living room. At this point I question everything but my reciever. Can you guys make some suggestions for me? You can see in the reference pic of what I am trying to accomplish: I would like some nice mains (to replace the Vegas) and some nice fronts to go next to the plasma and a nice center for vocals. Budget is less than > or = 2k. Thanks, http://www.bpteck.com/stuff/LivingRoom/Reference.JPG http://www.bpteck.com/stuff/LivingRoom/DSC00310.JPG

I thought we just went through 29 responses on another thread to determine your "potato" would be fine with the CV's. I think we might need some 'splanation of this, Lucy! By the way, get your sub out of the middle of the room as it appears in the pictures. That is invariably the worst place for a sub to be sited.

Yes, i am/was trying to compliment my existing - but I would like to hear what you guys/gals would do if given my setup (room layout and RX-z9). /salute

You'd get rear sounds eminating from the front - wouldn't this sound a little wierd?

I dont know how that setup would sound with ANY speaker, imaging must be awkward no? If you cant do that, I might suggest getting bookshelves and wall mounts, or speaker stands and go from there? JMO

Jan Vigne Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigne Dallas, TX Post Number: 7373 Registered: May-04	Posted on Wednesday, February 01, 2006 - 00:44 GMT Yamaha = "front" (height)speakers. They're just supposed to be placed up high, not on the same level with the center speaker. Imaging does not = CV's. So awkward is not the issue here. Beastie, you're disappointing me. What's more important; good sound or a place to set your beer bottle? Why do you think you have knees?
My Rantz Silver Member Username: My_rantz Australia Post Number: 204 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Wednesday, February 01, 2006 - 02:32 GMT Forget the end tables! Try getting the perfect girlfriend: 3 feet tall with a flat head (on which to set your beer bottle).
Beastie1 Unregistered guest	Posted on Wednesday, February 01, 2006 - 02:40 GMT You guys are nuts. The rears and center are connected just for giggles - as they are already disconnected. You guys get hung up on the smallest things..... The photo was just for "reference" hence the name as implied. No, there is no wall behind me - that is the breakfast room. So i have no wall to mount on from that side. The room is setup to be diagonial - and yes its very hard to work with - hence me asking you guys for help. Best Regards,

Though, really, the three feet are what will turn some guys on.

My Rantz Silver Member Username: My_rantz Australia Post Number: 208 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Wednesday, February 01, 2006 - 22:57 GMT Nuck Nah, gotta have teeth - some bottles still don't have screw-tops! But I did get your innuendo. Bad!

Nuck Gold Member Username: Nuck Parkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1156 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Thursday, February 02, 2006 - 01:59 GMT Naw, my wife has teeth...and pipes! Keeps me in line. 5'1". Does this help Beastie to stop calling us nuts? I'll pass it along to the sons.
