Humble? With those specs! :eek:

Nice desk though.

i_dingsdale · 6 Jul 2005 at 23:30

Yet another one with 5.1 rear speakers in front of them :confused:

Rain Man · 6 Jul 2005 at 23:34

no there at the side of me, as you can see the left one wall mounted. they arent meant to be behind you if you read up, they are meant to be at the side to give the correct effect

i_dingsdale · 6 Jul 2005 at 23:57

They shound be somewhere between directly beside your ear and slightly behind. Dolby specify 90-110 degrees - they certainly shouldnt be on the desk in front of you! Even the left side one looks like it will be in front of your ear in normal use

Yaka · 7 Jul 2005 at 01:11

dolby specify it for cinema/hi-fi speakers used in 5.1 + system. those are pc speakers, a lot of peeps place em like that and enjoy gaming and weatching dvds on thier pcs like that. no offense but quit sniping at peeps speaker positions you already made it clear you dont like em placed like that before.

xb8browney · 7 Jul 2005 at 20:08

I used to have my speakers in the same place but I wasn’t getting the effect of noises behind my in games so now I have 2 behind me

_-Solid-_ · 9 Jul 2005 at 09:45

Ahh the CM-201 :rolleyes:

Above view

W/o flash

(I know this is the NEW desks and rooms gallery, and I also know that my desk itself sux, but im only new to the forums and havent had a chance to get hold of a digital camera till now ^^)

Comments welcome

I'm suprised that there's actually a desk under all the rubbish i've just cleaned up.

crunchman · 9 Jul 2005 at 18:22

Havent checked this thread for ages, and it seems people were taking the urine out of my desk setup

To reply to some of them

Gotta ask..why have surround sound yet have all the speakers in front of you?

BoomAM said:
Never understood the point in that myself.
If they`re short on room, why not just get some decent 2.1`s, rarther than 5.1 for the sake of it.

Ooo i see you been to argos tested for that dvd rack.. OH! and wwf (WWE) folders!

And ???

BoomAM said:
Having a 5.1 setup with the rears on the front edges of the desk could give you an "ok" setup. But there are a lot of people who have RL/RR right next to the front speakers. Which in a 5.1 app, wouldnt give you any sence of surround sound whatsoever.

I route audio to my Denon 3801 and play it through my Kef's and my Paradigm sub so I think have a sense of surround

I only use these speakers for flash stuff

Mr Latte said:
And if they feel its not good enough couldnt they move them, as one member already suggested? Some people are more than happy with "ok" audio i dont think everyone cares for hifi quality.

Are your own stereo speakers situated perfectly with you in between when seated at yer PC area, dead centre for optimal stereo LR effects, iirc didnt seem to be the case last time you showed us.

Give the guy a break eh
PS we know youve got headphones probably for PC.

TY for the defence Latte

[EDIT] Seems to be my longest post lol
