I had my home theater set up last October ('17) and have been enjoying it ever since. All the equipment was new with the exception of the subwoofer, which I had from my older set up - an HSU STF-2 Powered Subwoofer (10”). Now I'm itching for an upgrade... I saw that SVS released a newer series...

Thanks so much!! I actually just bought an open box Sony 75" tv to test out. It is really nice but I cannot shake the feeling that I would like to maximize my space. That said, you hit the nail on the head with the hole in the wall idea. The room is 12' long but in the back there is a walk in...

Thanks for the info! I really like the idea of lens memory that the JVC has plus the overall consensus of the image quality. Another thought is to mount the projector in the walk-in closet in the room which would give me an additional distance of about 2 feet - so a throw distance of 13 or so...

Yes, I meant 103" diagonal for a 2:35 screen, so the 16x9 image would be around 85". UPDATE: I purchased a display model Sony XBR75X940D 75" TV from Best Buy for a really good deal last night. My thought is, that's probably the only tv I'd buy if I decide not to go with a projector as it's 3D...

This is a dedicated movie room so no regular tv viewing will take place :) As for the size, the screen is 103" for 2:35 so 16x9 movies will be projected at around 85" or so. I realize 103" is quite wide but it seems on par with my current seating distance when using my 55" tv which is around 6ft.

I was thinking about that, but based on my general seating distance it seems like a 103" 2:35:1 screen would seem to fit ok. I just don't want to go with a new tv and wish I went bigger :)

Viewing distance would be approx 8-9'. I tend to like sitting pretty close (I used to sit around 6-7' from my 55" tv). My concern is that the projectors I'm looking at (specifically the JVC DLA-X570R) can throw that distance only when zoomed out to its max. Will this hurt the image quality?

I recently moved and have a small bedroom (12 x 12 - I know, not an ideal size) that I'd like to convert into a home theater. I had one set up in my old house (approx same size) and had my Panny 55" Plasma which I love. However, I would like to upgrade to a projector. The issue is, most...

My wife and I are in the process of moving to a new house which has an entire in-law suite addition on the back of the house with a kitchenette, full bath, living room, and bedroom. I have planned on converting the bedroom to a dedicated home theater. Unfortunately, the size is prohibitive due...

True, but I'd rather not resort to headphones if I can help it. Besides, they wouldn't replicate the experience as well as speakers.

I'll probably have the left rear speaker on a stand, and the right rear sitting on top of the bookshelf. They should be equal height (about 31-35" off the ground). The two front speakers will most likely sit on the entertainment center on either side of the tv. They will be slightly lower than...

I'm looking for some audio advice for my "mini" home theater. I have a home office/viewing room that I would like to upgrade to enhance the "theater" part. I recently purchased a Panasonic TC-P55GT50 that I love, but now it's time to focus on audio. I currently have a Vizio VSB210WS-B...
