Wow! Very nice. :emoji_thumbsup: Congratulations, Roy

Sweet :emoji_thumbsup: . Can you tell us more on how you made the motorized drape masking system? Roy

Chris, It sounds like our HT rooms are very simular. Mine room measures is about 15' wide and 19' long. I hope to have enough room to use two rows of seats - three wide. Thanks for the feedback. I'm a little less concerned than before. Roy

FINALLY!!! Someone with a room and roof-line simular to mine. My room will have a 9' peak and approximately 5' side walls. I courious to know, how does yours sound? I'm concerned that, with such low side walls and vaulted ceiling, that I'll have sound problems. Any tips? Roy

I used to do power quality inspections for customers having computer problems so I'll share what I know: To the best of my knowledge, all surge suppressors are "isolated". Isolated usually refers to the neutral and safety ground isolated from each other. Additionally, if your are feeding your...

One more question I just thought of... Are you using a single sided or double sided poster? Double sided, from what I've read, give better color but, may require brighter lighting. Roy

I've never built a screen but I have done some uphostery work. Having said that, typically, you can't strech fabric around square corners. Instead, strech the sides leading up to the corners and then, by hand, just tighten the corners, fold and staple. Roy

Typically, you'll need between 8 to 12 cfm for air type paint sprayers. By the time you get set up, you could easily spend $200 - $500 to start. For larger home and hobbiest use, consider something like a Wagner Power painter or Cambell-Hosfeld (sp?) airless. For small jobs, it's hard to beat...

I thought the posters were too wide to fit between standard wall studs. I suppose if one framed a window casing style opening before the drywall... more food for thought. Roy

Very nice :emoji_thumbsup: ! I was wondering if the rope lights were bright enough for a poster box. It's hard to tell from the pictures but do you feel that the need to be brighter? The theater room addition I'm planning should have lots of wall space and I was contemplating making several...

One thought is to rearrange the rack and put the receiver at the top. The amplifiers create the most waste heat and, if placed at the top, shouldn't be a problem for the other components. Adding a small exhaust fan above the receiver is also a good idea but, be aware that it will pull more dust...

WOW! :emoji_thumbsup: What a nice HT wall. I'm currently planning a dedicated HT room but I would love to do something like that in my family room. Did you design and build it yourself? If so, where do you find the DVD rack? Congratulations, Roy

I love your carpentry. I'm a big fan of the curved sound stage. :emoji_thumbsup: For my own HT room, I'm debating on the columns. Do you know of any specific advantages/disadvantages to comlumns? Roy

Tom, I see your point. I'll play with the program a little more to see if I can gain some insight on what's it's trying to tell me. But, because my ceiling will not be flat, I'm not sure how much it will help. Thanks, Roy

Wayne, Thank-you for the input. Your comment about the bass cancellation makes sense. But,I'll probably keep the heights of both side walls the same. Your answer does however helps me to understand the advantages of using staggered wall panels which would creat unparallel surfaces. Yes...

Well... I downloaded the spreadsheet and played with it a little. Unfortunately, I'm not THAT much of an audiophile. Translation: I have no clue what I'm looking at. More than the size of the room, I'm concerned about the effects of the low side walls (5' to 6') and the vaulted ceiling. Any...

First off, I'd like to say that I've been lurking on the forum for over a year. I've learned so much just reading, reading and reading. I've followed several HT build-outs and observed many more and, as a result, have decided to create my own HT. I WILL need YOUR help. Having said that...
