I have an area in the home that will be a dedicated HT and a rec room of sorts, two distinct rooms. I have approx 22x36' to play with, there IS living area upstairs (rooms are at grade on slab though) and remainder of home's living area is 20+ feet away. I am fairly sure I want to do two separate rooms and do the HT pretty traditional, Regal style rockers and raised platforms. Want to have enough space to let kids play Kinect in front of seating area in HT and rec room will have wet bar and pool table or ping pong or something.
I plan on the HT portion being approx 16x22, two rows of 6 seats and a couple kid chairs or bean bags in front. Trying to determine screen and stage size so I can start framing, and seating riser setback as well.
For hardware it will be
BenQ1070
Onkyo NR717
Paradigm Monitor 7's fronts
Minis for rear
CC370 for center
PDR12 for sub (will replace with HSU before year end)
maybe some ADP's's for sides (really liking this idea but open to getting shot down)
135" or 150" fixed, non AT screen
I need some input on layout/distances and how to soundproof this room and some input on the screen size, risers and seating. It will be semi DIY (I can frame, drywall and texture and do moderate electrical) and I need it done in a month while I work full time, go to Powell for a week and hunt for a week LOL. Only need HT done NOW, rec room can wait a bit.
Already have all hardware but screen and ADP's, even have most of the lumber and drywall.
