Only one comment about the speaker placement. 1034s are 890 mm tall and your custom stands look about the same, which puts the acoustic axis to approx. 1600 mm or 5' 3" which would be right if you are 6' tall and standing up. But if you sitting on the sofa, the acoustic axis is way too high for optimal performance. Your frequency response isn't optimal any more.
Also I would suggest toeing in the speakers maybe 10 to 20 degrees to reduce the wall reflection (on the left side) and also to be more on axis instead of off axis (horizontally).

Padawan Posts: 30 Join Date: 12/9/09 Recent PostsWish i had that knowledge before i completed the design for the cabinet build. The initial purpose was to have a place for a few key places for these pieces:
- a place for the amps for the 1034b
- a stand for 1034b
also i needed a place to put the HTS6 subwoofer.
Unfortunately i made the slots above the sub too big..I had an idea that i wanted a place to put additional components. If needed.
On the design aspect the display (TV) is at the same height as the top of the monitors.
Looks like i'll take Ikka's suggestion by simply putting a riser on all seating locations. Then it would be at the necessary height for placement. Or i can always make a wedge and tilt the main monitor downward?
Wow! That is a nice looking system, thank you for sharing!

You could start with turning the monitors upside down to reduce height of midt/high drivers

I would say that technology has brought us to the peak of a luxurious lifestyle as well as a life full of ease. Nowadays, there are many companies have been developing ways for us to experience a full 3D movie in the comfort of your home. As my parents are getting older, so they had decided to install a home theater in their home by taking a help from their local electricians in Chester Springs PA who had installed home theater setup last weak. After the installation every day whenever they get free time they enjoy the wonderful cinema experience.
