Hi All,
First of all I would like to introduce myself, this is my first post in this forum.
My name is Sourav Das Mahapatra. I live in Delhi and Software Consultant by profession.
I would like to thank all active participants and experts to bring together very nice experiences , thoughts and advices at one place.
Me and my wife are real movie buffs. Our listening requirements were: 70% movie and 30% music. This site gave us lot of inputs , when we were planning out for setting up a home theater in the living room of our new flat. Based on reviews, suggestions from friends , forums, demo and ofcourse hifivision along with our budget - we bought the following :-
a) Onkyo TX-SR507 A/V receiver.
b) Energy Take Classic 5.1 speaker system.
c) 16 AWG monster speaker wires.
All the above items were bought from U.S during my official tours & visits.
We always wanted to have a wall-mounted very compact speaker system as our living room isn't that big and neither we have space for a separate room for setting up a home theater system.
Since, the flat interiors were being done at the same time, we got the speaker wires concealed along with installation of the speaker mounts.
Now the installation is complete but we do feel there is a noticeable difference in the output (boomy effect) from surround speakers.
Then we realized that somehow, we neglected the fact of keeping the rear vented surround speakers at least two feet from the surface behind it.
Is there any option or way of reducing the boomy effect other than the plugging the vents?
I hope you all understand my situation , my wife isnt favour of making any kind of changes which can lead for any civil work on the newly painted walls or visible wire extension.
