Try the pic again, and yes I have some repair work to do on the drywall as I am removing that unused A/C Plug and already removed the phone and coax jack, the guy that did that work made a mess of it.

Another of the Mounts, where are you located I can ship them to you if you like.

They will also allow you to face them down as your speakers are a little higher up.

I have no room to move my speakers out from the wall I don't think. You tell me where I can put stuff cus I got no clue.
Thanks for the offer. I won't be mounting anytime soon. M&K speakers are all sealed and made to go up on a wall.
Anyway I'm not really interested in anything anymore. No patience and I'm totally not in a good mood these days. I had possibly the worst day of my life a few weeks ago and now my uncle passed away yesterday. I'm hurting a lot right now but not really cus of my uncle though that's a small part.

[creimes]

Ok but send me a message if you ever change your mind and I will send them out to you for free as I won't be needing them, maybe right now take the time to get to a better place and to feeling better, my step father passed away 2 years back and I'm so glad I had music to help get me through the tough days, it really can help bring you up when feeling down.

Take care and feel better

[buggs1a]

Thanks so much. I think my emotional state right now is why I seem difficult.
Do you have brackets for 5 speakers and would they work with my speakers?

If people could let me know looking at my pictures of my room where to put stuff that would help huge. Cus I just don't know. I don't know where to move the bookcase that's right next toy bed and near the front left speaker to. Then I don't know how to move the speakers out when I have my tv on the coffe table and rack of equipment right next to it. I don't see how I can do that when the 3 front wouldn't be at same height being the center would be on a shelf above the tv.

[creimes]

The brackets I have are for 2 speakers, they usually come in packages of 2 I think at least when I was looking for some, but you can probably find in singles or in different quantity packages.

Hey buggs, you mentioned previously that you were dealing with a lot on top of your uncle passing. I can totally relate to that. Take a break and do what's best for you - something fun you like. Your health is most important and only you can protect it. Take care.

[buggs1a]

Well thanks
The only thing I need now is for someone to tell me where I could put stuff in my room? Bookcase and front speakers and tv and rack. Once I get this I can start. Because I honestly can't figure it out. So this would be a huge help.

[garbulky]

I thought I did in my previous posts. The speakers need to be pulled forward a 1 and a 1/2 to 3 feet from the walls at ear level past the tv and at ear height. Don't worry about the big book case on the left side of the room for now. Move the tv to the center of the room and then center the left and right speaker at equal distances from the tv. Make sure your sitting position - the back of the room on bed - is in the center of the speakers.
Then experiment with toe in.
Good luck figuring out how.

D you have an spl meter. If not don't touch it. That's where it generally should be. Audyssey is usually spot on if done correctly

[buggs1a]

I do but I wouldn't leave it that low no matter what. It needs to be around 0. Or I have to turn it up then the receiver shuts down from too hot.

[Deleted]

So your saying you don't want the center speaker even with the output of the rest if the speakers?

[buggs1a]

I want it close but above to hear voices better. And I'm not doing criticle listening etc. I don't mind where my speakers are (for now). They sound fine. I do want better speakers though.

I had my receiver shutting down and the center was only -1.5. I watched Frasier on Netflix and at -1.5 my receiver needed to be about 60-80 or so vol. it shut down a few times. I had forgot that the center was at -1.5. So I turned up the center to +3-5 and my receiver never shut down since.

[buggs1a]

60-70. Not 80.

[buggs1a]

I'm done here now. Thanks and Jesus be with you and bless you all.

Hey Buggs, take some time if ya need and get back to it when you can spare more time into your setup but it sounds like you need to use more time for yourself right now, but in the meantime try and find some pics of similar systems to yours and see how they are setup like stands or mounts or ideas and such.

[buggs1a]

Thanks. I don't want to give up. I'm just really depressed and my mind is always going. I'm always thinking about my home theater and if I want to get a new cell phone or close my account which will not have an etf. Or get a smartphone or dumbphone and which one. Then I'm sure I still feel bad about my uncle. Then there's still affecting me something that happened to me a few weeks ago that at the time destroyed me completely.

Right now with my home theater I'm thinking about receiver and speakers. Integra DTR 50.4 or Integra processor and seperate amp. For speakers I am kinda wondering about the B&W CM9 theater. I have CM1 that I'm trying to sell but can keep. Then I'm wondering about Legacy Audio Focus floor standing or less. Then I wonder about the McIntosh XR100 floor standing with center and XR50 surround. Then I wonder about the B&W Diamond 804 floor standing. Then I wonder about Paradigm.

See???

Well buggs, if you want to upgrade your speakers sure sounds great but in the avs thread you mentioned you'd have to finance it to have it work for you. I would advice you to instead save up for it steadily and then get the best system you can. If you save up steadily you'll be surprised at how much you can put away in an year. if you can't save up then you really didn't need to go financing anything get what I mean?
A cheap dumphone plan will save you a lot per month compared to a 100+ plan. Cutting your cable for an year and going with netflix and the stuff will get you a whole lot of savings. Changing car insurance providers....the list goes on. It's always possible.
I know too many people that didn't and now they have 30-80,000 in debt for seriously dumb decisions. And these were people I considered smart. But they always did this stuff when they were....yep, depressed.
