A brought my daughter to her friends house today for a playdate. When I arrived to pick her up I went inside and saw them playing Wii on a 80" projector screen in a tiny HT setup in the family's "Living Room." I too have a "Living Room" a little tea room waste of space hidden away from the rest of the house that I use for very little. That's where I tried to put the Ushers last month, but too small for that.

Anyway, they are both really into it. She was telling me all about the project and buying the gear used on Ebay and changes they want to make, and blowing out the back of the house to make a big theater in the future. etc. Typical audiophile mentality, applied to HT, what's that called, videophile? She will be fixing the pictures hanging on the wall so that they don't rattle with the sub. Yeah, they got it bad.

But they really did a nice job on the theater. It is painted a beautiful warm dark reddish maroon, decorated nicely, dark red velvet curtains, special shelf for projector, perfect sized black velvet couches, Axiom speakers, built in closet rack to hold all the gear behind the sweet spot so no lights under the screen. It felt very nice to be in there.

Right Julie and I share the small TV with the kids in there big bonus room. The couch squeaks and stinks, a spring jabs my back, deftech speakers drive me nuts the more refined my stereo gets. I can imagine enjoying TV and movies in a nice little theater downstairs. Hmmmm....  If I could make it good enough for music listening also, that would be something. But would require a ground up scheme.

Black Sand Cable:
So...what are you waiting for?  :D

Get to it!

miklorsmith:
Yeah, get on it!  I promise to look at each and every photograph of the project as it's coming along.

That sounds pretty neat.  My TV and stereo zone is the same, and the kids have a good-sized play space down there too.  It's in the finished basement so I have near-autonomy to make it sound good.  Or, that was always the story.  Lately my wife's been grumbling about how it looks down there.  What!?  I released any and all demands of the living room already - I'm living with *gasp* monitors for gawdsakes.  

stereofool:
Rich,

SO... :wtf: is the hold-up????

Remember...sterefool's house of 'never-ending' audio stuff...I've got multiple sets of extra speakers...out in the storage building. I CAN FIX YOU UP  :twisted:!!!

richidoo:
Sorry guys , I had to cook dinner first.   :duh

Don't get too excited, this will be the Smart Car of HTs.

The funny thing is when I moved here, I knew I would install a HT somewhere. I wired two rooms for inwall surround speakers, but now neither room will be used.  :duh Or will it?  I gotta think about this....

Thanks a lot for the great encouragement!!! AN is awesome!
