"Indeed, not!!"
Now that I've gotten my 813s up and running, I can imagine what that's going to sound like. What are you running for power to them?
Cheers,

I would like to add, soffit mounting the Urei's made a HUGE differance in the transient response. The system has much more "punch" to it now, and the low end is incredibly smooth (no boomy bass). If it is an option, I would highly recommend mounting your Urei's in soffits, I was not prepared for the improvement, absolutely amazing!

Understand about the soffits, Fredrick. They were clearly designed with that assumption/requirement.
I've just moved back into a house where I'll end up setting up the garage for use as a 'romper room'. Right now, the UREI's are on furniture mover's wheels and will stay like that for a while. Yes, there's a bit of booming in the bass but the midrange presentation is all there. I posted a picture of the current setup the other day somewhere on these forums.
I *could* almost set up a smaller version of your theater in there, using the 809s for rear speakers and the set of JBL 4425s for a middle, I suppose. Nah.....I'm just into 2-channel right now. Maybe someday.
The other problem I have here in Santa Cruz is that the houses are on 40' x 80' lots. Houses are close together as a result and I can already hear the 813s out on the street through the garage door. Can't imagine what a full theater setup would do for the neighbors' entertainment.
One interesting thing I discovered re: light bulbs in the UREI's. The tweeter bulbs in the crossover are GE-81s. They're the same bulbs as found in old Volkswagen dashboard lights - the old 6V versions from the 60s, that is. Was able to locate them at a local VW restoration outfit. The other 6V bulbs for the woofers I found at a local lighting fixture company after digging around in their old boxes. They had *lots* of them.
For the large spade connectors on the back, I used Thomas and Betts L35-B2 copper terminal lugs, available at Home Depot. These allowed me to use its clamping system while making a solid connection to the speaker.

Nothing wrong with 2 channel....most can't get that right, and going multi-ch without getting 2 channel right, is just wrong.I *could* almost set up a smaller version of your theater in there, using the 809s for rear speakers and the set of JBL 4425s for a middle, I suppose. Nah.....I'm just into 2-channel right now. Maybe someday.
The room may look bigger than it really is. It's only 19.5 ft deep, and 14 ft wide. You may have more room than you think.
I did see the pics of your Urei's. Definately nice.
I have the wood cut now for the 2242's, hopefully I'll get them somewhat together this weekend.

Nice to hear.....I'm told by Westlake I can expect the same when I get into the new house......David,

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enought to take away everything from you
Still making progress, but still a way to go.......
Everyone seems to like the fisheye shots, so here you go.

Wanted to post pics of the subwoofers, they are almost finished! They will be outfitted with 2242H's.
Hopefully I don't break the house.
