Wow, I didn't realize until today that HTF had a construction forum. Cool! Thought some of you might like to see my mess, er, construction that is currently going on.
Equipment set-up is:
Marquee 8500LC CRT with 8" tubes
Draper 92x52 Cineperm 16:9 1.3 gain
Speakers (?) still looking
Amp/Receiver Sony DB930
My HTPC for DVD, games and surfing
Lutron Grafik Eye for lighting control
Philips Pronto TSU-2000
Seating (probably rocker/recliners)
Wall Fabric: Guilford of Maine FR701 Amethyst (light purple) on top and Quartz (beige) on the bottom.
Here's the link: Link Removed
I'd be interested in your comments.
Thanks!

Man, your theater went up fast! I should've contracted...
Looks great so far! Keep us posted with new pics.
One question, why did you mud and prime the drywall if you are covering it anyways?
ACE

Ace - I mudded and taped to keep the sound in. You see, my son's bedroom is on the other side of the screen wall. Hence the double wall, R-38, soundboard, etc. I wanted a tight room, if you know what I mean.
A better question I keep asking myself is why did I paint the front wall black, just to cover it with TheaterShield Plus.... I still can't answer that question with any logic. I guess I started painting and didn't stop until I ran out of paint.
I ordered carpet today so I need to finish the walls this weekend and get the baseboard installed.
BTW - I have a long detailed post running in the AVSForum, Theater Construction area, in case you want to read more history.
Enjoy.
