My old roomy and I built a theater way back, back when satellite dishes were large enough to house a small family. I’m doing it again but things have changed… so some help will likely be needed.
I’m finishing off my basement and in part of the main room will have a theater set up. This isn’t a dedicated room but rather a dedicated side of the room. Good light control, plenty of space. I’m planning on a front projection configuration with around a 120” screen. Heres a list of the components I’m considering. Comments good or bad are welcome!
Epson Cinema 800 projector
Carada Criterion 126” screen
Yamaha RXV 1600 receiver
Klipsch RC62 center
Klipsch RVX 54 Fronts
Klipsch DT5800C rears (I need these speakers out of the way due to multi use of the room)
Klipsch RW12D Sub
Some kind of power conditioning but the model hasn’t been chosen. Battery backup for the projector too.
I haven’t chosen a DVD player yet and would love some input on that. I’m not thinking of Hi def or Blu ray yet, I’ll wait until one of the formats wins the war. I do want it to be HDMI compatible.
I've been looking at the gear at my local Ultimate Electronics as they are pretty much the only game in town. Any suggestions on good on-line retailers for any of this stuff would be appreciated.
Thanks for any input, I’m sure I’ll be posting a few questions along the way!
