As the title states this HT project will be parsimonious, which basically means: extreme care or reluctance in spending.
This is my idea of what I would like to accomplish:
I will be posting pics shortly of the actual room/area.
I'm in great need of frugal direction in order to get this completed.
The thread will cover and document everything from start to finish.
Well, I have the room which is 21 feet long and 15 feet wide.
It is poured concrete in the basement with no windows. (purposefully designed to be a theater)
There is a 6 inch step riser 10 feet back from the front wall.
The room is framed in and that's about it.
Help me not spend a ton of dough and still achieve a respectable theater.
I'm not looking for a lavish state of the art cinema, and likewise I'm not going to lay down and cringe every time I open the door to watch a flick either.
Budget is something that I have thought of because I know this is basically the first and probably most important question one should ask himself when planning a HT.
Well I have a clear and rather easy number to start with: $0.00
Having said that I can fork out the cash as long as it suits my needs and not my WANTS.
I am however concerned with the aesthetics, materials and "looks" in general of the finished product.
I am very close to purchasing this: http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKHTS9400/Onkyo-HT-S9400-THX-7.1-Ch-Network-Home-Theater-Receiver/Speaker/1.html to get the ball rolling.
It was in stock and $599 yesterday :-(
Soooo, lets go...
