My HT Man Cave
My man cave is a basement area that is finished and approx. 26' x 26', not including the wedge where the bar is. The room creates some very challenging accoustics. Some day I need to invest in some accoustical room treatments to tame the reverb. Also still need a MAJOR sub upgrade. Still debating on size, brand, number, etc. My rig is set up as 7.1, but not real happy with the sound from the backs (Tc80i's). I think they're too directional even with the slight pitch built in. I'm open to any overall suggestions for improvement.

Leather reclining sofas in the HT area. Note the Fxi A3's above. Not the best vertical location, but the best I can do with the unique contours, sofits, beams, etc
