    Using my AKG K240s again

    I bought these open air headphones many years ago when we lived in an apartment with a baby. I could watch movies using an RCA to mini to a headphone amp to these inexpensive headphones. I could listen to the movies but if the baby cried I could hear her too. Then we were blessed to get in a...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    Bumblebee. I saw this in the theater after the reviews were very good. I hate the Transformers under Michael Bay. Complete garbage. But after seeing this one and liking it the wife gave me the green light to see with the girls. A retro 1980s movie with some definite misses with that era in...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    I can't stand horror movies but I bought this for my wife last Valentine's Day because she liked it. It has a great soundtrack. The opening New Line Cinema with the kids singing Oranges and Lemons is creepy as hell and sets the tone of the movie. I actually like it as demo material

    Securing speakers to wall mounts

    Okay here's the setup. I took the picture and then freaked out thinking the bottom of my speakers were scraped up. Then I realized it was a reflection of the 10 AWG wire on my floor awaiting install. As you can see the front predrilled holes are in front of the base plate

    Securing speakers to wall mounts

    Problem is the predrilled holes and footprint are too big. The front holes go out a bit from the base. The back is the only one that works. But again the clamping is the majority of hold

    Securing speakers to wall mounts

    Okay it has taken me a bit but I finally took down the speakers and mounts so I could drill a hole in them wide enough to accommodate a 1/4" bolt. I used a 9/32" drill bit and drilled in the existing smaller hole on the back of the base plate. The bolt fits perfectly and the 1/4" bolt screws...

    What concert/show are you going to?

    Going to The Black Keys and Modest Mouse tour coming to Houston in November. Woohoo. I haven't bought tickets but I will be going once tickets go on sale. I saw The Black Keys when they performed at venues that were hole-in-the-walls.

    What concert/show are you going to?

    Well apparently @Towen7 and I went to the Rodeo at the same time to see Kings of Leon. That said, I completely can't stand the acoustics in NRG stadium so any concert stinks there. This particular one was bass heavy that really drowned out the lead singer's voice but I think about 4 songs in...

    Wimps!!! You are all subwoofer wimps!!!

    Or would you suggest an Atmos array. Floor, mid wall and then in-ceiling? This could be the best I'm guessing. So if someone is sitting on a bar stool versus a recliner, they will have vertical linearity. I'm definitely thinking about this right so don't tell me otherwise.

    Unboxing and assembling the $90k PMC Fenestria

    I like the fact the chick is reading and the speaker is pointed away from her.

    Wimps!!! You are all subwoofer wimps!!!

    That was pure sarcasm/tongue-in-cheek. Yes I realize that to be the case. So where to put 15 of them in my room. 3 as my seats, four in the corners, 4 suspended in the corners but at the ceiling and 4 in the bottom section of my L. WINNNER!!!!

    Wimps!!! You are all subwoofer wimps!!!

    This is exactly why I wanted more subs in my room. Pure subwoofer envy and 4 15s get me 60, right?

    Game of Thrones - SPOILER THREAD

    We watched 2 episodes last night on Blu-ray and I really enjoyed the Atmos soundtrack. I realize I don't have the full Atmos array but my rear backs were involved along with the side surrounds. The rain and thunder was very nice.
