I've finally decided to finish my basement, and there's only one area which will hold a HT. (The other areas in the basement would
This theater would only be used for watching movies and maybe the occassional football game - it won't need to double as a living room or family room. (I already have two of those.)
I need some ideas/suggestions to help me move forward with it. Additional facts:
* The ceiling is 7.5', not including the drywall I'll put up for the ceiling.
* The room is 13.5' x 12'
* The doorway/door into the theater is on one of the 13.5' walls.
* Screen will definitely be 16:9
* Definitely want to do FP HD
Is there any way I can get a second row of seats in? Or am I limited to just one row? Should I put the screen on the short wall? (I'm thinking that since the room is almost a perfect square anyway it really doesn't matter - especially if only one row of seats are going in.) What kind of screen size would I be looking at, realistically?
Any comments/thoughts/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Dave
