Upgraded Left, Center and Right to Active Mackie Studio Monitors. Sound is phenomenal when using the receiver to manage bass response. Still using old Pioneers as speaker stands.

Mackie HR824 MKII for Right and Left rated at 250 watts each, Mackie HR624 MKII for the center channel, rated at 140 watts. All are THX PM3 approved and give me waaay more headroom than my reciever could ever hope to manage. Pretty happy for the price.

@perich. Definitely going to align them properly after we move out. There is so much I can not stand about the room with the way it is set up now. Equipment placement being the big thing. This system is piggy backed on top of my fathers home theater set up as we are staying with them while my wife finishes up some college. Ideally I'd like to place them behind an acoustically transparent screen in order to keep them more at ear level and then optimize alignment. When the day comes I'm curious if I'll get better performance from placing them behind a woven fabric A/T screen as far as optimum alignment, being on axis, etc versus any kind of comb filtering or or SPL reduction I get from the screen itself being in front of them. I dunno about that yet.

Looks like you have your third mackie!!!! Are you going to try and align them all vertically? That would be awesome if you could!

Hey prerich, thanks for the kind comments. Its just a temporary set up for me right now. Its piggybacking on top of my fathers system. I'm currently running a simple Yamaha RX-V550 receiver. I am also running Mackie HR624 MKII studio monitors(not pictured yet) for my front right and left. I'd love to find a third for a center and then upgrade the Yamaha to a Marantz AV7007 processor with XLR outputs. Better yet would be 824MKII's and then move the 624's to the rear. Not a bad set up yourself by the way.

What's your audio system there? Very nice system though

All you have to do now is work and save,work and save,work and save. You seem pretty keen.I will look forward to seeing your dream set up. Remember you don't get something for nothing, you can't have freedom for free and you won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes, no matter what your dream might be"......Peace bro

Thanks drummerboy, when I get in to my own home. I hope to ditch the pull down and do a scope screen with lens. I'd love to do a fixed frame acoustic transparent curved screen with the speakers hidden behind it. Personally, I think thats the holy grail set up right there, as that would just be perfect showmanship in my opinion. LOL.

Good set up, the jvc projector sure looks the part. Also like the pulldown screen something i have been thinking about myself for the lounge room.Lucky you didnt hang the projector off the ceiling, as the wall mounting did make more sense. Good one bro, looks great.Kind Regards Alan
