    Thanks Omar..... The Brand Name of the seating I purchased is Coaster, I'm not for sure if they have loveseats.... but I do know you can purchase them in sets of 2 which would be basically the same. They have enough room to be comfortable that way for sure. Just yell if you need anything else...

    My Theater is FINALLY coming together!!! Tell me what you think

    The width for per row with the four seats is right at 12ft. Each seat is approximately 34" wide and when extended 6' deep. You could probably do 2 rows of three though, as long as you could push them to one side to leave a large enough walkway on one side and work it around where the steps...

    Metal Studs for a Basement Home Theater from a Newbie

    In my opinion you can use either. As a cost point I would look at wood studs though. By the time you purchase your screws, Studs, and other pieces necessary to complete the project, i think you could save a lot of money and be just as happy. You can look at my pics in my listing and see how mine...

    My Theater is FINALLY coming together!!! Tell me what you think

    Thanks Adam for your comments!!! The gutter idea was an idea come up with while trying to figure out how to run the rope lighting. The cost was really minimal to do the whole set up thanks to Home Depot. The 10ft sections of guttering were only $5.00 per (Instead of purchasing Crown Molding @...

    Flash Forward - season 1

    Well maybe it's just me.... My son loves the show and I think it's ok, but I wish they would keep it a little more together. Shows that jump from one era to another seem to annoy me at times. It's kinda like the writer can't figure out the next scene without revisiting the past so he just puts...

    I am starting to enjoy it more every week. I do see everyone's points though. I am just happy to see the show get back into the exciting 24 we all learned to love.

    No Audio with HDMI.... Any Suggestions?

    Well I am not sitting in front of my receiver right now, but it is a Yamaha xv-863 i'm pretty sure that the number. From what I am seeing here I probably can't get both sound in the theater and on the TV Speakers through the HDMI. It looks like you can either get it through the av hookups or...

    Starting from Scratch

    Hey Thom, After looking at your list I think you have picked several great items. I believe you will be happy with the sound through the Klipsch Speakers ( I would consider them Moderate price range... with great sound), and the Yamaha receiver I like as well. There is a lot of decisions like...

    IR Remote question

    Sounds good... Please let me know how it works. If it is out of sight wouldn't you need an RF instead of an IR, unless you have a transmitter that sends it that is. Anyway hope the advice on the Dimmers helped.
