I will have to take some pictures when I get home.....just got moved into the new place and all setup now.

Here are some pics of the old house and old theater.

Those are all before I went BACK to XBMC and had Popcorn Hour Devices running YAMJ. Smile

The new setup is much sexier!

Yup I'm right there with ya buddy. I had my C-200 for a year and the motherboard failed and was replaced 3 times. Luckily enough for my I was able to get $175 for it right after it fell out of the warranty period. I have been a 200 series Beta tester for a while and they are just total crap.

i got mine in december, i was hesitant after all the MKV issues and whatnot with the A-110, but i figured they must of fixed that. well sure they fixed that but many other issues, i even put in a BDRom which i thought worked great, but u can't play disney movies, really? LOL. i'm done with them, XBMC is fantastic, and now that i can put it on an Apple TV 2 and have a central database, i mean it's a no brainer, much cheaper than PCH and much more reliable, customizable, and way cooler

Long time lurker, first time poster Smile

Currently running two XBMC set-ups, both on Xboxes until I can afford to swap them out with Revos or build myself a decent HTPC. Below is the one in my room, other is downstairs on the main TV.

On the left speaker:
Tenda Router in wireless bridge mode
Xbox 360

Centre:
LG 37" full HD LCD
Soft-modded original Xbox running XBMC
Denon DCD-560 CD-player
Denon DRA-325R amp
Celestion Ditton speakers

Right speaker:
Emprex "P2P Downloader" running as a cheap NAS (£8, deal of the century), with a 1TB WD USB hard drive attached

On the extreme right is the cat5e cable disappearing through the wall to the other TV downstairs, also running off the NAS up here.

^^ Are those speakers both Right or both Left? That would drive me nuts!

- Waveknight - 2011-02-24

I think quite a lot of Celestion sets are asymmetrical. Huh

I've got the cloth covers for them somewhere so that they'd look the same, but I prefer them off Smile

That's one way to lower production costs.

- Thurbs - 2011-02-24

yes,
The asymmetrical speakers would lead me to get a bad case of the crazies.
Seriously how difficult would it be to flip the board that hold the speakers around 180 degrees?

best thing to do is put the sub where u sit mostly, then crawl around the room until u find a spot where it sounds best, then put the sub there

I know, but easier said than done with a 67 lb sub that is supposed to be balanced at 4 feet. There's also the practical part where I can't place it anywhere either; needs to be a practical spot.

+1, great suggestion, the good old "sub crawl". http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/speaker-setup-guidelines/crawling-for-bass-subwoofer-placement

I've never heard about this, but it does make sense. So you just put the sub ON the couch? On a plank of wood or just plopped in regular sitting position?

- thethirdnut - 2011-02-24

Yes. You put the sub in the primary listening position - same 4' height or so too if possible - and then crawl around baseboards of the room. Where you hear the best bass is where you then put the sub.

Reverse engineering. ;-)
