Hi everyone - I am a longtime reader of the forum, and until now I had my theatre set up in my living room.
I have some room in the basement of my old house that I would like to turn into a dedicated HT room. The width of the space I am considering is about 10 feet, and the length can be anywhere from 10 to about 20 feet.
Is this room suitable for a small theatre? I know I will be plenty far enough from the screen, but is the room width an issue?
I am not going with a front projection setup, just using existing gear. The screen is a Tosh 57" RPTV, and the speakers are currently a Polk sub/satellite combo. I was planning on mounting the sats on the walls and having the screen at one end of the room and a couch at the other end. The floor is concrete, and the walls will be regular drywall.
What should I be looking out for as far as moisture/insulation, flooring (carpet?), wall treatments, etc?
Also, any helpful tips would be appreciated. I read through all the threads and wrote down some excellent ideas.
thanks,
Colin
