What an insanely good setup!! Wow. 

@wooferocau...which Esoteric Stereo Amp did you end up with...

S-02..

@wooferocau

 

your famous , it seems

 

 

Finally fished my panels for the roof section. Panels are 900x800 and 12mm thick acoustic , i had these flock coated matt black. These protrude 2.25mtrs from the back wall minimizing reflections on the roof section. This has made a huge difference to contrast and colour.

Also added a pair of Energy speakers to the side surrounds and configured it as a 7.2 system.

 

Currently using the JVC DLA X7000 , but have a "NEW" JVC arriving   next week... 

 

 

Love this room...

Yep, one of the best going around, no doubt...but...err...I gotsa say it...that couch doesnt appear to fit the calibre of the room.  

 

Now you need a fully reclining Italian leather 3 seater with drink cooler...   

Nice work woofer ...

 

Be working nicely for gains in picture and the side surrounds adding well for surround experience !

Slight mod..

 

Blacked out the entire "Front" Ceiling section. Added Black carpet to the lower front section... Much Much better, almost no extraneous reflections now. The difference this has made to Contrast and Colour is dramatic.

You dont realise just how much of your projected image is being effected by bright walls,ceiling/floor until you "Black Out". Cant wait to get the X9500 set up.

 

 

@wooferocau  great work

 

ps I would have gone a step further though...where your black carpet extends out to...I would have blacked out the side walls from there going up to ceiling. noticeable in the last photo posted

 

but depends kind of visual look impact going for as well I suppose

 

ps the other one to look out for is the wall right behind your listening position as it tends to reflect back onto the screen. way to check this is with a fade to black. pause and then using a little pen torch trace light on the back wall and see how much it impacts with reflecting back on the screen. can be quite telling. and in your dedicated room obviously will have the latitude to do things about

Well done @wooferocau . Using a similar thought process to my room in making a "stage" area in black to minimise reflections. The rest of my room is a strong latte colour and dark grey curtains. Each further step I did in painting/adding black carpet etc made very noticeable improvements.

 

I was painting my room in stages after kids went to bed each night whilst the room was still operational so we'd take a night off after each new section was done to note the difference, and it was SUBSTANTIAL each step of the way. Now I can't see someone 2 feet away with full sun outside despite 3 windows.

good point on the black carpet.  we too had the same looking light coloured carpet woofer that you have. we found quite a difference replacing with a charcoal carpet made even in my very non dedicated room setting  

Carpet? Blackout? Sorry, can't focus beyond those mighty Sovereigns!!

 

M

You're famous again

 

 

Just seen this thread now... Yowser! I doff my hat to you good sir. Enjoy!

An exceptional set up.

 

cheers Terry

Incredible, I love it all.

 

Yes I would like to try having the shelving and components off to the side but the cable prices bugger me up.

Leather lounges look great but not necessarily the best for sound I have found. The backrest/headrest can reflect the treble back into your ears and can make the music sound more trebley and harsh than otherwise. Thick fabric couch is better, ideally with no headrest.

Interesting. You can always put a big blanket over the lounge and see how that goes.Ive got a leather lounge, so I'll try that later.

How good are the Sov's. Such a great loudspeaker when driven right.

You're right, but covering your Italian leather lounges with aunty's tartan blanket may detract from the chic aspect somewhat  
I know, I have a pair of Sovereigns as well, driven by ME 1400 

Sovereigns..... still an awesome speaker even today... havn't yet heard anything that has made me want to trade them!! 

 

 

Gone a little further........again...big improvement to image.

 

I am Projector-less at the moment......sold my JVC DLA X9500.  Cant wait to receive the new JVC DLA 20LTD..... ONLY 2 units coming to Aus, and i managed to secure one...

 

 

Love to hear this. 

Just thought id update..

 

One of the BEST components  i have added to my room.....JVC DLA Z1  Projector...

 

 

A few minor updates.

Painted the ceiling "beam" BLACK....

Repositioned my Centre speaker forward of screen, placed the Esoteric Amp  behind below the screen.

Added a couple of Gigawatt PF2 power filters.

Added " 2" Telos QNR,s

Added a Telos GNR
