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.

General view of the front sound stage. The small closet in the corner contains the sump pump.


View from behind the bar looking toward the HT area. Note the tapper handle. MGD on tap at the moment.


Better view of the front of the HT area

 

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


View from the SXRD looking through the HT area towards the bar. Yes it has a kegerator!!!
