    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    Haven't been able to upgrade my theater in a few years, due to budgetary constraints, and this Receiver would definitely be the beginnings of a great Atmos home theater.

    A full 4K Res Home Theater on a 125k Budget

    That's why most nowadays opt for a 2.35 screen and mask it to 16:9. Just as easy and since 4:3 is now rare, gives a better viewing experience for most movies.

    Humble apartment budget theater system

    I'd leave the center right where it is. No big deal.

    A home theater in the making...kind of

    Disagree. It's a big mistake. I have a 65" display in my living room (with 5.1 sound) and it's fine for watching TV, but it in no way gives a theater experience. The 126" display in the theater is where we watch all of our movies and sporting events - and the difference is remarkable. A 120"...

    HTF Contest: Win an Epson HC 8700 1080P projector courtesy of Epson and ProjectorPeople.com!

    As a Detroit Lions fan living in Dallas, I'd be able to sit back and watch them both lose. Of course, I'd be disappointed in the Lions loss, but very happy with the Dallas loss. So, a 50/50 day would turn into a great day with the Epson.

    Unique Question On Room Arrangement

    Go with the second set up. Keep the center channel in the center of the display. You could also spread the fronts (and rears) apart even further if you're able.

    Pergo flooring and how to compensate for reflection

    Acoustically treating your walls will have no effect on the floors. If you're set on hardwood floors, then you'll want to put down as many area rugs as you can.

    Hello all New to forum need help

    If you're building a home theater, I'd start with acoustic treatments. Get bass traps in the corners and panels on the first reflection points as well as the front and rear walls. The depth of the panels is slightly dependent upon your room size, but 4" should do it. You'll also want to...

    New setup - need advice

    Why the need for Bravia Synch? Just get a universal remote control and you can still press one button to control most activities and you're not tied to a specific brand. I think you can do better than that receiver. If I was looking for a sub $500 receiver, I'd buy THIS RECEIVER. I have...

    New to home theatre - wanting to create a sound system

    How much should I pay for this?

    So, you're buying the condo and you're negotiating with him on the equipment he has (to buy seperately)? Are these in-wall? If so, they come with the house. If not, cables would be $100 at most. Surge protection how? A surge protector? What kind? Maybe $250. Provide power to plasma? You...

    Samsung SP-A800B DLP Projector 1080p 24 fps - New - Open to Offer Retail $ 7499.00

    Well, that's a great deal. Unfortunately for me, manual zoom is a deal breaker. I'm surprised nobody's jumped on this yet.

    Samsung SP-A800B DLP Projector 1080p 24 fps - New - Open to Offer Retail $ 7499.00

    Gregg, IIRC, you bought this projector 2 months ago. Any reason you decided not to use it?

    $5-7K budget for home theater - Part II

    Projector - Panny 3000 ($2500) A/V Receiver - Pio Elite 07 ($1200) There's a million speaker options, but in general, unless you really need to use inwall speakers, I'd probably avoid them. You can get a nice Axiom set-up for under $2000

    Layout for 5.1 System in open floor plan

    I'd also spread the L/R speakers out a bit, if possible. While there's optimal places to put the sub, in general, you can put it just about anywhere it'll fit/look right in a living room.

    Potted plant or other ideas for reflection treatment?

    Wainscoting is basically a decorative paneling. Sisal won't do anything for the sound (well, no more than carpet or just about any other material). You need to get linacoustic (or similar) covered in fabric if you want to acoustically treat your room properly.

    Potted plant or other ideas for reflection treatment?

    Have you thought about using acoustic material covered in fabric below the chair rail instead of wainscoting?

    Need some opinions please

    For a room that size, any reason why your not going front projection? My theater is actually smaller than yours (12.5 X 20) and I have a 126" screen in there. Unless you'll only have one sitting area and it's within 10' of the screen (meaning you'll have 12' of empty space behind it), then...

    Axiom QS8's for sale

    I know these were listed on AVS too (that's how I guessed the price above - it was the price on AVS). I'm thinking maybe the OP sold them there and forgot about this ad.
