Anyways, nice setup.

Ear level while standing is 2-3 above ear level while sitting. Those look to be about ear level while standing.

Kickass setup Jeff! We need to have a home theater picture thread!

Nice setup. My Home theater consists of a 34" Toshiba 34HF81 widescreen CRT, with a Kenwood DTS receiver, Athena fronts, center and rears, a DBOX 10" sub, and an XBOX 360 with an HD DVD add on drive.
In the future I'd like to swap the TV for a 1080P capable LCD with HDMI, and also swap the receiver for one with HDMI ports.

OK I fixed the center problem........and did pull down the speakes some but found out if there to low they will over ride the other speakers so I raised them back up a little.......There lower than they were before but not to low.

Athena fronts, center and rears

Iv herd the Athena's sound pretty sweet!

Are you standing on your stairs while taking that picture? Also, am I to assume that this is a 7.1 HT setup? Additionally, I think the reason why your surrounds may be drowning out the other speakers is because you have the surround speakers set too close to the listener.

Here is what I would do:

1) Move the front speakers away from the TV, closer to the walls, perhaps a foot off either side.
2) Move the black chair so that it is exactly dead center of the TV.
3) Adjust the rear surround speakers so that they are parallel to the black chair.
4) Adjust the rear surround speakers so that they are about 1-3 feet above the listeners ear, in relation to the person sitting in the black chair.

Finally, I would reccomend you check out THIS site. Everything you wanted to know about HT and then some. I am a big fan of all things HT, and you may have to register in order to access the forums. Yes, I have an account there as well. =)

Garetjax,
Beleive me he knows that site! How do you think he got such a sweet setup. None of the speakers and especially that monster he calls a subwoofer isnt off the shelf Best Buy crap.:) Thats some good research in that room. AVS forum does for AV what HL does for computers, except you have to wade through alot more BS over at AVS.
BTW, Jeff, I just looked at these pics yesterday and I didnt know that was the Sub you purchased, wow and I was proud of my Bic, that thing makes my woofer look like a front speaker.
Nice work on the HT.

Thanks garetjax........LOL Oneboxer is correct I'm well acquainted with AVS....

= could not have said it better myself OB.

1) Move the front speakers away from the TV, closer to the walls, perhaps a foot off either side. I'll try that and see if it helps.
2) Move the black chair so that it is exactly dead center of the TV. It pretty much is off by maybe 8 to 10 inches but that's all. The space you see in the middle is the only was to get into the room....That's about as good as an set up as I can get unless I was to hurdle the lazy boy to get into the room.....
3) Adjust the rear surround speakers so that they are parallel to the black chair. My rears are about a foot and a half above my head and 1 foot behind....
4) Adjust the rear surround speakers so that they are about 1-3 feet above the listeners ear, in relation to the person sitting in the black chair. My rears are now about a foot and a half above my head and 1 foot behind....

I was proud of my Bic, that thing makes my woofer look like a front speaker

I hear the BIC100 Bang for Buck is hard to beat.......at that price you could go dual down the road!!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions and help guys.......
OB yea I'm taking those photos standing on the stairs so I could get a little wider angle.
