Hi All. I used to have a fairly decent home theater years ago when I lived in the states, but when I relocated for a job in the Carribean a few years ago I gave it up. I don't have a whole heck of a lot of room, and I also live in a condo complex so I can't really do the whole subwoofer thing but I'm thinking it might be fun to try and set something up, I'm pretty amazed at how far projector technology has come in the last 8 years since I last purchased one!
I've got my living room down below.... I actually don't use that TV on the right anymore. I've got an Apple Cinema 27" on the Coffee table and a Mac Pro, so I pretty much just use that as a home theater PC. I can't really make any permanent modifications to the unit as it is a rental, so I was thinking a screen that I could just take up and take down for occasional use. There is room behind the couch to put a rear mounted projector.
I was thinking something like this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/69530-REG/Da_Lite_76175_76175_Floor_Model_C.html screen and this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/117866-REG/Da_Lite_78126_Floor_Model_C_Carpeted.html stand?
I was thinking about the Epson 8700UB Projector. B&H ships here and has it for $200... off...i.e.$2000 till the 16th...although no 2nd lamp it seems... any others...I should look at?...
Then I need to think about some sort of sound system.....I'm actually afraid I may have to look at Bose lol...I'm thinking I could find something I could hide in the drapes.. Really not looking for anything spectacular as it will just piss off the neighbors..
