I have put the idea of using an UST on hold for the moment and might replace my current tv with a bigger one. The room size simply is too small for a good setup with projektor.

Integra DRX-R1. Enough power and clean sound. Nö distortion or harshbess at louder levels
HI Brian,
welcome to the community. I am also quite new to Arendal, having bought my first sub (1723 1V) from them in January. In the meantime the 1723 THX towers followed as well as the 1723 THX Center speaker which I have received just this week.
Measurements with REW and setup was done yesterday.
I am still grinning all over my face.
Superb experience, great speakers. You will definitely not regret I guess.
Which ones did you order?
Regards,
Sven
My former set of speakers were glossy black and I liked the look very much. Now I have exchanged them and own the 1723 THX series in Satin (black) and I don’t wanna miss them anymore. For me, satin looks great and the fact that there are no reflections anymore makes it my go-to finish!
I do not have a photo at hand at the moment.
The room size is around 18 square meters, roughly 4×4 something meters +.
It is not a dedicated cinema room but a living room, distance from screen/wall to seat is approx 3,50m.
The plan is to have also a new cabinet once I get the projector – I am quite flexible here and would also have one made based on the personal requirements.
Putting the projector on the speaker itself is not an option for me, I can not imagine that this is a “beautiful” solution I could live with :-) Especially since the Sony projector is quite huge
I think I might have a cabinet made by a carpenter and will try out how it will go with the projector on top / or incorporated into the cabinet and have a space for the center speaker directly below. That way I would not have it directly on the ground but probably in the height of let’s say 40cm or so. Maybe angling it towards the listening position will also improve the situation. Options are quite limited somehow and it definitely will have to be a compromise somehow as I do not have another room to move to :-)
Or, maybe there will be a good “normal” projector available by then that can be used as tv-replacement and where you do not not have to darken the room to get a good picture.
I will do some testing with different options/positions once I have received the center speaker in a few weeks, for the moment it is all just theory.
Thank, Marius.
That is exactly the problem – the room is simply not big enough to “hide” the speaker behind the screen – I would have put it in front of and below.
If I put it directly under the screen and the projector below the speaker, I would loose too much space as the distance between projector and wall(screen) would be too big and I would have to put it nearly in the middle of my room so that the speaker would not disturb in the projection.
