Check it out.

Here's where the new movie room's going to be. That black square on the wall is a rack. There's condiut going to the space behind what will be the screen wall.

Here's where the refreshments will be. Some day.

That's a nice start!

Did you move Philip? Looks like a great room!

We're moving into a gargantuan new house in a few days. What you don't see is the dedicated outlet in the ceiling for a projector, in-wall wiring for rear speakers, and wall sconce rough-ins at strategic locations. Someday it will be a nice movie room. Someday.

 

[Lyle_E]

looks like a great start, would like to see the finish to this one when you are done.....

I would love to have a bar in mine..... (not enough room)

 

[ChadLB]

Where is the pics of the rest of the room?

Looks great though...

 

[Neil Joseph]

Will there be any colour changes to the room. What was your projector again?

 

[Philip Hamm]

My "projector" is an 8 year old Mitsubishi 50" NTSC RPTV. When that dies I'll get a front projector. I'm ready for it. We've been moving in; that room looks like a bunch of boxes now. It'll get together.

 

[Dan Hitchman]

Looks a really nice, large room to work with. I'm envious!

The only problem I see is the irregular shaped walls, which can affect the room acoustics. What are your room dimensions? If you still have enough leftover, perhaps you should consider doing a little re-construction to even out the walls, and make things easier for speaker placement, and acoustic considerations.

Just a thought...

Good luck with the new house!

Phillip:

You have to keep us updated with pictures on your HT build.

Glad to see you guys got into the new house. I know you are having lots of fun moving in but in the end it is all worth it.

You definitely need to get one of the new Panasonic AE 500 or Sanyo Z2 units to go in the theater and get rid of that rear projector.

Can't you trip and smash the RPTV as you bring it in, you will thank me later when the wife OK's the projector!

[RAF]

The journey starts!



You have been warned.

:wink:

 

[Philip Hamm]

Neil, Sorry, I was just looking at this post and I realized I never answered your question about color....

The answer is an emphatic YES. There are color changes in the pipeline, but not in the immediate future.

Really? I had my eye on an InFocus X1. I'm on a serious budget here. :-/

 

[ChadLB]

How about the Z1.....only like $100 more and it is a great projector for the price.

 

[Philip Hamm]

Is the Z1 LCD?

 

[ChadLB]

Yes,
Why is that?

 

[Philip Hamm]

Just wondering.

 

[Josh Meier]

Wow.... that is a big room... I hope you have a nice sound system to do that room justice
