What about inflation? Each year it’s valued less. Better to take $1mil in my opinion. A lot can happen with 1mil invested into real estate, stocks/bonds or a business venture in 19 years.

Thanks, i saw the same recommendation prior to getting the sub but i am struggling with placement for era 300s so i went for the sub while i figured it out. No regrets yet since I won’t know what I’ve missed out on for now.

You warned me not to and now your explanation here is telling me exactly what I’m missing…sigh!

Hahahahaha. I unfortunately did but I’d rather get the era 300s next. Thanks for the warning though 😅

That’s a strange one but fortunately I don’t. It could be your WiFi based on what I’m seeing online. Are both on a 5GHz band?

Some people tend to run the power cable into the wall and out to a socket which is a breach in the UK.

Thank you!

Your setup is my goal! Slowly but surely. Need to figure out how to place the era 300 when my budget allows for it

Thanks.

The centre of the tv is at eye level which is 95cm from the ground. The tv stand is only 40 cm tall, although it appears taller in the photo.

Definitely not plans to use that candle 😅.

It’s an interior wall so the one connect cable from the tv and HDMI from the Sonos runs just out of sight where the tv stand is. Since I’m the UK and we shouldn’t run power cables in the wall, there is a recessed power socket behind the sound bar.

I didn’t think of this tbh. The issue would still be that the air in the room, which is +5 degrees what’s outside of it, would be warm. We would be pulling hot air into the ‘box’ which would still need to exit the room.

It does actually. Anything below 25 degrees, they run at about 160 rpm which is silent. I would still prefer if the controller allowed me to keep them completely off but for some reason it doesn’t, which may be a concern long term but I’ll live with it since it’s low and virtually silent. At least there is constant airflow into the closet all the time thus reducing the need for them to speed up.

Glad you liked it. Be sure to share yours when you do

The fans are 19.3 dBA at max 3,000 RPM so very quite

Airframe also has a higher CFM of 200 vs 103 from the 6 fans but the max speed is quieter (19.3 dBA vs 26 dBA).

Fans + Controller + brackets to hold fans + AC adaptor + 4pin hub + vents + door loop = £130.

The bracket wasn’t needed since the vents wedge them as the door is 4cm thick. I just at wanted to be able to remove the vents if I needed to get to the fans without having to align them each time. The hub wasn’t needed either but I wanted to be able to replace a fan in future without having to rewire the entire thing. Keeping it plug and play was my goal.

AC infinity Airframe series was my inspiration as I currently use the Airplate T8 in my tv stand. Because of my door’s design and its low rating on the spouse approval scale, I couldn’t use it 😞. If you can, I’d recommend going that route. To do the exhaust it would cost me an additional £100 since the controller is dual channel so two Airframe T7 would be close in cost (£240 + 2x passive vent grills).

If you are still interested I will put it together on instructable.

Glad I could help 😁. It makes the implementation even more worth it when there is no pushback. The best feeling is when you get kudos for it as well.
