    planning for new home theatre

    I realized the price I saw was for the Panasonic PT AX100 instead of the PT AX100U which I assume is the non-US version. I wasn't able to find the full specs to see what the differences are. It is about 300$ less (Broadway photo) Anybody know what the difference is and whether it's worth...

    planning for new home theatre

    Thanks, there is a small storage area which is already enclosed where I plan to put the equipment. The open area will probably be a kids play area. Any ideas of the best screen/material to use if I did get the Panny?

    early planning for new HT

    Thanks. I was thinking the main seating would be in the range of 12-14 ft with some seating against the back wall.

    early planning for new HT

    Great forum here! I am new here and am in the early planning stages of a HT/multi-use room in our unfinished basement. The room size is irregular with a main 21' x 14' area and another 6' x 12' section which has been opened up with a 9 1/2" beam. This makes the section 20 ft long with 12' on...
