Greetings,
I usually lurk and occasionally post in the HTF software boards, but recently an opportunity has come up with which I would very much like the advice of the venerable HTF community here.
My clients, a film production company, are looking to construct an editing/screening room in their new offices, move-in date 8/15/06. The room is currently bare, a clean slate to do whatever I may suggest (they are also fielding competing bids). It measures 24'10" (298") long by 11'5" (137") wide by 8' (96") tall. It is my task to get the best-for-the-money screen, projector, receiver, speakers, soundproofing, and seating for this screening room. The projector will be connected to a DVD player (perhaps one of the HD formats?) and an AVID editing machine. I need to get a sense of how much (or little) a quality setup of all this is going to run, and most importantly, what brands and retailers you all recommend-- and who I should avoid like the plague. I figured this kind of request comes up all the time, but I didn't know to whom else I could turn on such short notice.
What do you think?
Thanks for being here,
CS
