@Triggaaar - just to give you an idea. I have just checked and I was quoted exactly €3999 for 3 seat Flex option (inc. delivery). by the French importer.
I had heated and massage seats on my old drinkstuff ones.
Massager was too noisy so never used it, heated seats were a benefit for the first few minutes when I went into my cold outbuilding, but honestly I’ve not missed them since moving to the octane seating.
Ask me again in December......
Their site has prices up, and delivery to the UK is cheap, but the base prices are very high. I presume the prices you see on Amazon include everything (delivery and tax etc)?@Triggaaar - just to give you an idea.

Cheers Mark. Now all I need to do is wait until Covid is over and you have another open dayYes mate

Weird. I added the seats to my basket, and entered delivery address, and it gave the price. Anyway, the price before shipping was too much, so I'll stick to Amazon.I don't think the delivery rates from their website apply to Octane seats and UK / IRL.
My two seats were 150kg shipping weight :O
They are quite far past 90'. They are actually out of spec for Dolby Atmos recommendation by few degree.Looking at the drawing, your side surrounds are just past 90 degrees right? Which is fine. All looking good.
How wide is the screen, and where are you at with masking options?
Yeah I can't imagine that'll matter.They are quite far past 90'. They are actually out of spec for Dolby Atmos recommendation by few degree.
How well do you think the monitors and tripols match your front speakers (for timbre), and why is it you have some monitors and some monopols?The question is, it better to have perfect placement for Dolby with Monitors to the left and right of the MLP or if maybe if the tripol speakers would be better placed on the left and right rather then the beck.
But I think probably Monitors as left and right surrounds makes more sense.
Just checking, I couldn't remember.Masking is still in planning stages. The screen is close to 3m wide, why do you ask
Yeah I can't imagine that'll matter.

Triaxial works best for me as surrounds. Better dispersion even with backs and wides. Also less localisationProbably it would not but because I bought Monitors instead of 2nd pair of Surround S I have a freedom to place them at ideal 90' to MLP as per Dolby recommendation.
Timbre question is soon to be answered. Of course it is hard to predict. Zingali are horn loaded and MTM config. Arendal C is also MTM with wave guide which is kind of like a tiny horn so maybe it will make things easier with integration.
The potential timbre mismatch is why I have bought Monitors rather then another pair of Surrounds. Monitors can be used as surrounds (same speakers as C), but Surrounds S cannot be used for L + R (I mean they can but the whole idea for me is to have matching LCR).
So by getting Monitors I am covering all bases plus I am ready for AT screen in the future
And to the answer for your last question. I think @mb3195 was using one pair of his triaxial as triaxial and other as monopoles for some time and he was happy with it so for sure it cannot sound bad at all

If you add an AT screen (which sounds like a good idea) the screen will then be off your wall, so the seat will go back, and the side surrounds will go back too. Given that's happening, I'd have thought you'd be better putting the side surrounds on the walls, and not bothering with the stands?
Understood.If the AT screen would be happening right now then absolutely but it is 1-2 years away from now.
Although the screen will be smaller, it will closer to you by a larger percentage, so to keep the same ratio you'd need to move the screen back. But if it's a year or two off, let's not worry about that nowWhen the AT screen is in place the seats might stay where they will be by then because the size of the screen will be smaller. I am at ~98% of available throw of PJ so the screen will have to shrink.

Both speakers and subs are just in the room. This is not their final positioning OFC.
Question mate, I've bought the 120" version of this screen, quite one, I've not assembled yet as room not finished, however does the frame go flush OR is there a gap. Reason I ask this is I fancy some LED lighting around the frame coming from the back of it... but not sure it's possible if the frame is flush on the wall!
