    HDMI cables.... Good vs BEST

    OK Sam Thanks; this means I should get a HSwE These are the options: http://www.ebay.it/itm/141249014490?euid=d934e8ab751d4175a28281308bf8746c&cp=1 State it is V1.3 ... and there is no mention regarding Ethernet, 3D, 4K etc...

    HDMI cables.... Good vs BEST

    I thought my question might belong here; instead of starting a new thread. Just a simple question: for HD and 3D, should I get a least a 1.4 HDMI cable?

    I've bought them 2 weeks ago, you can still find them (in Europe) and they are still listed on the HK website (EU). HKTS 16 ... Ebay ... where I got them from the 5.1 set plus 2 sats and an extra sub.

    My 7.2 HT plan

    Jason: A retractable screen (matt grey 0.8 gain) costs me less (Italy and Spain have a very low HT culture). And I have to get it from the UK; shipping included costs 50% less than any fixed screen I've seen. I would prefer to buy a fixed one at a descent price. Sam: They are kinda small...

    My 7.2 HT plan

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Some information that might be useful: I'm doing a budget "trial" HT ... my wife isn't convinced and therefore have to limit the budget. Furthermore, my wife does not like to see any tower speakers around the room. The basement is an open-space, without any walls...

    Very nice and cozy HT you got there. People keep telling me that the surrounds should be on ear height ... I see that you have them practically mounted on the ceiling. I might need do the same as I do not have walls all around.

    My 7.2 HT plan

    Getting back to my questions, in the hope to get some answers. Regarding the screen; I think I should go with 120" (as shown in the images), due to the seating distance (maybe even 100"). I would have prefered a 135" screen, but that would make me sit outside of the 4m x 4m space (image top)...

    I've been told that folks here can help me spend some $$

    The side surround speakers will be 15° behind your MLP (3.5m from center) and should be towers. The distance; I don't think that they are far away, especially with the equipment you plan to install ... I have the reverse issue, my sides are too close. Your layout will at least respect the...

    A "GIK" in Thailand will do much more than "analyze your room" :rolling-smiley: Bet the GIK you mean does not visit at all in Thailand.

    I've been told that folks here can help me spend some $$

    To keep it simple, I meant you have a living room with irregular walls/layout ... and it will never be a walled square/rectangular HT ... this does affect your sound. Perfect sound requires a perfect environment. For that reason I thought your investment just for the equipment was rather high...

    My 7.2 HT plan

    P.S: the image is in scale, and the screen is 120" . The floor space in the back is about 4m x 4m.

    My 7.2 HT plan

    Thanks for your answer Robert. Maybe the (previously missing) image will explain better. It's better to use the producer's calculator; I'd be viewing from approximately 3m (120") or 4,5m (135") as depicted in the image ... the problems that arise are the speaker placement and distance, in...

    What is a good quality projector?

    Hi, I've ordered a BENQ W1070 myself (I'll be installing in August). It has an short enough throwdistance, and therefore good brightness. The distance of the W1070 for a 109" screen is 9'1" to 11'10" (zoom range) you would sit at about 11' from the screen. Consider that it will be more or...

    I'm not an expert ... more a noob, as I've always used BOSE lifestyle, which is easy to place. Still use BOSE for the living and the master bedroom. Now I'm going to do a HT in my semi basement, and am having some of your problems Mike. e.g. the sidewalls are too close for my 120" or 135"...

    Hi there y'all :P

    My name is Bob, and I live in Italy (Dutch origin). In a few months time I will be moving to the very sunny south of Spain. There I'll have some space for a nice HT ... I like quality stuff at the right price, but I'm not a fanatic ... I'm starting with a simple HT, which I hope will convince...
