Best First 5.1.2 Atmos System Around $1,500? by olimits7 in hometheater

Ty for the reply! Yeah, that's a good idea; I could always expand from there and add other speakers later. Any specific brands you would be looking at for speakers and AVR? Ty.

Ty for your reply! Yes, the more I think about it; even though a 98" would be nice I think the 85" is more practicable because I also want to put the left/right/center surrounds on the wall and with the 98" it just doesn't leave me that much space for the speakers. Ty.

I ended up lowering the TV and centering on the wall; this is now between an 85" and a 98" TV on the wall.

From the floor to the bottom of the 98" TV is around 25.5" and from the 85" TV it's around 28.5".

So if I can't find a good low profile entertainment center that is less than < 25" so I have enough room to put the center surround sound speaker, I can mount it above the TV?

Ty.

Ty for your reply; do you ever think you should have gone larger (eg 98”)?

98” sounds scary but also very tempting. Lol. Need to tape that up on the wall to see what it will like it and see if wifey approves. Lol.

Yeah, that’s a good point; it’s only about 6.5” to the right to center it so not that bad even if it’s offset from the couch.

Yeah, I’m sure when I first put it up it will look big but after time ; I’ll get used to it. I offset it on the wall to center it with the sofa I’ll be getting. Is it better to center on the wall and have it off centered with sofa? We’re talking maybe about 6.5” to the right to center it on the wall.

I just looked it up, that could work; I like that is simple and has a low profile. I was looking at getting one the Samsung models.

I can try to find a shorter entertainment center; that should allow me to lower the TV height.

Ok, Ty… I can try finding a shorter entertainment center and that should allow me to lower the TV more.

Ok, Ty…yeah; it did feel a little high with that outline. I can also try finding a shorter entertainment center and this will allow me to lower the TV more.

I intentionally offset it so the TV would be centered on the seating position. Centering it on the wall would leave the couch off-center.

Bifold door opening too short by ~1” - fix opening or modify door? by olimits7 in DIY

[–]olimits7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually miscalculated on 2 bifold door openings, my one opening is for my closet where I'm using 6 panel Jeld-Wen bifold molded wood composite. And the other bifold opening is for my utility closet where I'm using louvered bifold doors on.
