Nice, I would do the same thing with the temp seat

What brand/model did you use for projector mount? I'm looking at different options for the Panny 3000.

Given any thought to putting them up front (on their sides)?

I finished wiring my front wall with coax and power bridges for the Conquests. I have them set up in front and calibrated but haven't tested them out on any material yet.

I decided on a Chief custom mount instead of their universal.

24" Dual Joist Ceiling Mount

RPM181

Do you mean room correction? I am using a VLSI Solution Anti-Mode 8033B

As soon as my equipment closet is finished I will upack my Integra DHC-9.9

The Conquests don't work well up front. Due to their size and reflective cabinet surface. I will be testing a HSU ULS-15 QuadDrive system up front later today.

Sharp room. I like the columns, may steal the design one day in my small to-be room.

You should add a link to your signature. I went hunting for your thread when I saw your post in the sconce thread.

My Berkline 45094's finally arrived this morning. Now to build a platform for my 4 ButtKickers.

Very nice. Where did you get those trays for the seats? I've been trying to find something just like and have had zero luck. Also, would you mind letting me know how much they ran?

They are included with Berlines 45094 reliner model. I don't think they will fit other models. Each shelf has a support pin that plugs into a spring loaded metal fitting located on each arm rest in front of the cup holder. They are removable and store inside the rest.

Not the shelves alone but the set of 3 recliners was $1800.

Thanks. I had just figured that if the diameter of the insert was the same for the cupholders, it would work. I did a search online last night and can't seem to find them seperately though. LazyBoy makes something too. I'll have to check it out locally and see if I can get lucky.

I finshed building a temporary platform for my recliners. I added 3 original ButtKickers. The finished product will have trim around the edges and the cables will not be exposed.

What does LaZboy make , because I have 2 rows of the laZboy matinee HT seats and wanted a tray set up like that one.

Very nice looking setup. As we speak, I am trying to decide between the 45003 (same as your 45094 I am told), 12000, and 13175. Have you sat on either the 13175 or 12000 by chance? If so, could you please describe their comfort levels. I prefer a very sink-in feeling, so very soft and cushy. Have you sat on any other models? Has anyone that may be reading this thread sat on the 45094/12003, as well as the 13175 and 12000, and can you make any comments? Thanks a ton!

ndisgii,

Thank you. I purchased the 45094 group mail order without sitting in the chairs. I have not tested other models. I do find the recliners to be very comfortable. I am 220 lbs/6'3"
It is quite a bit softer than the large single La-z-y boy I was temporarily using.

Hey John, for your permanent platform do you plan on extending it so your feet rest on it as well?

No. I always use a recline position so my legs are already coupled.

I still need to clean up the cabling. I put an air purifier I had on a shelf to the left of the equipment. This might help a little with dust accumulation.

John. Do you use any issolators under the platform? I spoke with Guitammer engineer and wanted to use a similar design but they recommended a differennt strategy.

Yes. I use Kinetics Noise Control neoprene isolators on the 4 corners. The Guitammer Company even sells and recommends them. Isolators

Right, I was aware they sold them and was discussing a floating platform like you have (although I would not have been able to mount the BK behind the chairs on the platform) and the engineer I spoke with believed the energy needed to move the platform would disapate quickly reducing the overall effect. He suggested using the CMAK and putting 1, or 2, under the cross member feet and using the standard isolators on the rest of the feet. I was skeptical but it’s their product. I started just using on per sofa and have found it to be effective but have added a second for each sofa to provide an “equal” effect. Frankly, 2 LFE and 1 amp on a sofa is more than enough. I actually have to turn it down. But to the point of another poster not having it under your feet lessens the overall effect. Haven’t tried it in recline mode as you mentioned.

So what do you, or don’t you like about the platform and besides isolators on the 4 corners of the platform do you also use them on the recliners?

BTW, also left you a message on the W4S thread...

The recliners have metal frame rails. I have all 3 bolted securely to the plywood top surface. This transfers the tactile energy more efficiently through the seats.

2 original Buttkicker I's supplies enormous amounts of energy.
I use the 4 units to increase very low frequency output and increase headroom. I have them lowpassed at 20 Hz. They are blended into my system. I didn't purchase them for the platform I am using them on now. I have owned them for at least 8 years.

I have used tactile transducers for somewhere around 10 years. I find that using them on a platform with seats on top adds more realism than having them mounted to the seat alone.

do you have the recliners attached to the patform in any way? Also, you said 4 units but I only see 3 am I confused? Finally, how are you low-passing them, do you us the BK-Amp or another method?

That's an older picture. I am using my Parasound C2 contollers programmabale channel on my tactile transducers. I drive them with a pair of Crown K2 amplifiers. The BK amp lowpass only goes down to 40 Hz.

Thanks John. That picture helps as does the low pass info. Your point about not going below 40 was why I was asking. Can you tell me what the silver items are in the picture? Also noticed you raised the platform so it is more of a box vs. a board. that makes more sense too.

Those are tactile transducers from Earth Quake Sound I was testing.

This is very nice did you do all the work yourself? All you need now is treating your ceiling to get even better sound
