yeah..shouldn't close this thread...
at least in here can ask around about the setup and where to get it and etc..

Mr horny ang moh,, how can you say urs is a peasant setup, cause i see paradigm and so many high end stuff

Mr Horny very modest mah.

@s6xs9x

so now, 1.5 feet from the wall is the sweetest spot for your rf52. what was the distance before using the foam? did u try filling up the speakers' cabinet? I'm not sure the correct term used for this process. is it 'baffle loading'?

I also live in flat so space is premium. my living/dining hall is approx. 15'x15'. what do u think of klipsch manuals?

@arremie
what abt ur rf52 distance? Your super floating RC52 stance is truly an eye opener..

My RF52 distance is about 1.5-2ft from wall. I do not have echo problem like our friend coz I have 3 big ass fabric sofa there and a lot of crap at the back wall

Eye opener? Everyday before going to work I pray my RC52 wont fall off

may I know the distance recommended by klipsch? is the manual informative & helpful?

The manual came in a nice sealed black envelope with Klipsch logo. Until now still sealed

I came across a shop in Ipoh today selling the egg crate type of foam. It comes as a large piece about 3.5' x 6'. Price was RM43.

Being one piece, means you have to cut it yourself if you want smaller sizes.



One thing I noticed is also the ends (presumably where they cut one piece from another) are very ragged. So again have to DIY to trim it. Anyone got any ideas for best way to trim foam neatly?

Aiyo the quality looks so bad. No wonder cheap cheap only

Best way to cut is to use hot wire. Wear mask. The burning fumes is really bad.

Yeah, the finishing on the edge is a concern. But if can DIY cut neatly then save a lot.

Ben, are you running 'presence' speakers with your Yamaha? The Jamo looks sleek. Using 2 subs? As the front of your room looks bare, no issue with room acoustic?

Anyway, very nice and tidy setup. I like the black strip idea.

@ benjaminn78, i love your switches.

Why people want to run presence? Is it better than surround. I have enuf speakers to try but no cable
So currently I just run 6.1 (single back channel). Nothing impressive la but the surround now sounded fuller compared to 5.1 setup but need to run movies with DDex or DTSes to make use the back channel. If movies with only 5.1 sound, no sound coming from back channel

Anyway, nice setup bro

no issue with room acoustic?

the viewing distance to the teebee macam abit small

when u run presence speaker, u will know the sound....more front effect and vocal will be more centerlize if u put ur center speaker below tv.

ben, in-wall wiring is neat. There's a lot of bare walls and floors bouncing your sound around.

Do you find the black strip behind your TV distracting?

ya, i still find the way to overcome it, any idea?
