Looks good. I'm assuming the rears have been placed on a box for better sound dispersion?

I'm interested in the tablet you're using for control. Looks cool. What tablet is it and are you using specific remote software for it?

nice setup. what controller is that on your sofa?

I only raised the surrounds yesterday to get the drivers at a better head level and get the Atmos wedges above head height. Certainly sounds better than when they were on the floor.

Tablet is a Lenovo Android tablet. I have apps for the Pioneer receiver and Blu Ray player, Sky Q, Amazon Fire Stick, TV and Dune streamer. Also a Broadlink Mini 3 IR controller and Alexa control so I can use 'scenes' to turn on all equipment, turn off downstairs and garden lights then lower window blinds for serious movie watching. At the end of the movie a simple voice command will turn everything off and lights back on

Looks good mate, intesting to see someone using a tablet instead of a harmony remote.

Tablet works great, can have several windows open to quickly access the equipment I need to control
