hope you remove Jesus' photo next t TV b4 u watch XXX

just curious why you want to put cones for your sub?

I'd suggest you get a fixed screen if possible coz manual screen will eventually warp and become unusable. or you can DIY your screen.

mpyw, the Orb's look very good. just curious, what were your previous surround speakers?

its the trend now to have such feature wall to mount tv and hifi with recessed lightings. mine also just finished with coincidentally blue recessed lights as well.

New kitchen in a ... mansion!!

your room seems rather squarish... how big is the room?

chef, salute you to diy all your speakers!

speakers sure look impressive.

saintos, nice setup. Is that wall paper on the walls?

nice setup.

do you find that your centre speaker is low?

nice sub.

so much poison here now...klipsch do look tempting...

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?

To reduce your echo due to clapping test (mid to high frequencies) you need to cover the sidewall corners and ceiling as well. The corners are more for controlling bass.

My HT room setup with my DIY acoustic panels made from rockwool.

No more echo after treatment. The foam is stapled to plaster ceiling; need to use carpentry stapler which can be bought from hardware shop.

For ceiling and sidewall, need to drill a hook on wall and small L-shape support at the bottom of the trap. It's something like hanging a picture but you push up against the ceiling with support at the base.

My next project will be to build more false traps for the walls to hide the tiles so its all black throughout and paint the remainder walls darker. (previously kitchen )

Also, planning to build a simple diffusor at the back wall and maybe some floor lights.

The panels were made by making a wooden frame ( 2' x 4' x 2" and 1' x 4' x 4") into which the rockwool was placed and first wrapped with a thin PU foam so that the rockwool cannot escape since its rather itchy. Then its finished off with a black acoustically transparent cloth so that not too much sound is reflected.

I used 40kg/m3 rockwool in the 2' x 4' x 2" panels on the sidewalls and 60 kg/m3 rockwool in the 1' x 4' x 4" panels in the corners as bass traps.
