Eric, Very nice work! Do you have any WALLS still standing? Best Regards Don

Steve, Wow you must be so excited you forgot to give us a link to check out your theater.:D Best Regards Don

Thank you Steve nn,Mike, Mark and Ray for the time time you took to reply to my question as well as the very helpful insight. I was curious as to the comments I was going to see since my impression of what I have read previously is that (as Ray stated) you either love them of hate them. Steve...

Good evening... I would like to know if anyone here has Klipsch Reference speakers setup for their home theater? If so, what is your opinion of them as theater speakers? If you had to do it all over knowing then what you know now, would you setup your theater with these speakers? The reason...

Thanks Gary for the input. We were to go out this weekend and start putting holes in the studs but I made the call (to the relief of everyone helping)to hold off until this coming weekend. Just too darn cold even with space heaters... Best Regards Don

Sorry for the delay in getting back with everyone...the reason we were going to need to put a hole in the box was to connect the flex-conduit to it. ErnieST even mentioned this in one of his posts. Thanks for the input... Best Regards Don

Thanks Chris for the reply... that was our consensus as well. I saw a picture of someone that did what we are interested in doing but can't find that info, figures...when I need it I can't find it. Best Regards Don

Well, after spending some time searching the archives I haven't found an answer to this question so I thought I'd start a new thread. Starting the pre-wire phase and would like to drill a 1 1/4" hole in the box instead of using the punch-out tabs. Will this cause undue pain and suffering on...

Thanks Tony for the input... as I was reading the direction this thread was going in I thought I would toss the idea out there to see if it would be a viable option or not. Best Regards Don

This may be a strange approach, would pumping the door full of the expandable foam help anything? Just something I thought of since our builder is taking a similar approach to our house, under the guise of "upgraded insulation". Best Regards Don

Jonas, Thank you for the link, I will check them out later today. Best Regards Don

An FYI for those also checking around for these as well as what they run here in the midwest... Just got off the phone with Armstong Customer service 800 233 3823, and they indicated they only have black tiles for commercial, not residential. That's fine with me. Got a somewhat "local" shop...

Jonas... "You didn't make the mistake of mentioning that they were for a home theater did you?" Nope, they had no idea what they were being used for. They just thought I was coming to them for a rather unusual request. #1728 was the code # given to me for 2x2 panels. $40 a box, that's a...

Sonnie, Nice job and thanks for sharing. Even got a couple idea that will work for us. Appears that you won't have any trouble enjoying it. Best Regards Don

Not necessarily a contribution to the "things I wish I did differently" ( at least not yet ) but just wanted to say as I get ready to embark on our HT, this thread is a great idea to learn from. Thank you to those that have (or soon will) share your thoughts. Best Regards Don

no, don't have a link. I got a call from one of our local dealers. "Arm and a leg" is right... and maybe a spleen also. Guess that is the cost of entry into the wacky world of home theater. Actually, my take on it is because it is considered a "specialty item" that gives them free-reign to put...

For those keeping score on the cost of black tiles, just got a call back from our local dealer. For the Armstrong Fine Fisher tiles #1728, $83.16 per box of 16 tiles = 64 sq.ft. 3 week lead time, non-returnable. Best Regards Don

Todd, Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pics. The Stormtrooper must be quite a conversation piece. Best Regards Don

Stacy / Angelo, Thank you for the reply and input. Stacy, thank you for the link. I will check it out in a few minutes. Best Regards Don

Brandon, Yep, they were discontinued which is why my search hasn't turned up anything...yet. I find them to be very good speakers. Best Regards Don

Good afternoon... I would like to know if anyone has a lead on where I could get another L7? These haven't been made for many years and searching the internet hasn't produced any that are available. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to lend. Best Regards Don

Erik "sick and crazy hobby of ours!" Indeed!:D Best Regards Don

Erik, "Don...sorry" Don't be (grin)... I didn't take offense to it. I went back and re-read the past threads and realized that I mis-read your initial details. As I posted earlier, I just apprecite the info as it has given me several ideas to work with and incorporate in our theater...

Erik, "it ISN'T roofing FELT, but actual roofing 'roll'," roofing roll:b, noted... thanks for the clarification. ( On a side note, the day I saw your cross-section of wall I went out to Home Depot and started calculating how much FELT I was going to need ) Will have to play around with the...

Wayne, Thanks for the input... and the link. Best Regards Don

Hello, Regarding using roofing felt as a sound absorber, if it ISN'T fire rated, wouldn't it be possible to fire-proof the felt yourself? I saw Erik's pictures and was impressed with how the wall was constructed. Certainly gave me several ideas to consider. Thanks Erik for taking the time...

Good evening all... Bobby C brings up an interesting question. The issue of using carpet pad as a sound absorbing layer, would it work? There are many types of carpet pad being manufactured (different densities) and with the pad in-between the drywall would there be any noticeable difference...
