From the left. I have lights attached under the top shelf.

Rear Shot. The Surrounds are not Klipsch. I haven't figured out yet if the RS-42's will fit correctly as they will hang much lower. The front Presence speakers are from the reference line so I want the rest of the ambiance speakers to have similar drivers. I had a 7.1 set up in the past. To my taste the sound from center rears leaves me wanting more. I am very happy with 5.1 surround with sound sprayers.

The Sweet Spot. Hope you enjoy. I certainly do.

 Nice looking set up, I like your speaker wire do you have any info maybe I will Google the brands you have down.  I mainly like the look of them also hows the bass I noticed that your living room opens to your kitchen I will have the same situation.

Thanks. The speaker wire is Canare Star Quad wrapped with TechFlex. The bass is good even though the room opens up to a dining room and kitchen. I played around with the placement and the corner worked out. For me I wanted a compromise between aesthetics and acoustics.

Looking at your pics, RS-42s would fit on the side walls which is the recommended placement for surround speakers in a 5.1 setup.  I think you'd love the 42s.

Looks like the RS42s would be too tall to fit at the bottom of the vault.  You'd have to shift the speaker a few inches closer to center, or as Wuzzzer suggested, shift them to the sides.

Your system looks nice but I'm trying to figure out what benefit the bookshelf speakers under your center channel would offer.  With them being close together, and not angled upward towards the listening area, just not sure how they would enhance the sound.  Maybe I'm missing something.

I'm in the process of offering DIY speaker wires and interconnects. canare star quad is the same stuff I'll be using and the total cable cost will be $2/ft +$5 for terminations of your choice (per wire). I'll be offering up some review samples as I get closer to marketing; send me a PM if you'd like the speaker wire slot.

i dont know where to put them. i coud not fin a picture for the presence speakers set up.

i was thinking to put them in top of the front speakers but i dont know.

any help is welcome. thanks
