Anyone own these? Opinions? I am considering a row of 3 for my new HT. Any pics would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you get the Berkline 12000's yet? I am considering a set of 4 seats from Roman at UHE. Would appreciate you sharing your experience and if you like the 12000's?

Thanks, Bookman41

Got my chairs over a week ago and love them. The seats recline almost as flat as a bed and they are very comfortable. Can't tell vinyl from leather. Chairs came with back unattached so they were easy to get through doors. You certainly can't beat the price.

Thanks for the pics!!!

Look great. What made you go with the 12000's over the other models? How do you find the Loveseat configuration in the front row? Did they all come with 2 arms and you made the front 2 a loveseat or did you have to order that way?

I liked the looks and the price was right as I got eight chairs for the price of four I was originally looking at if I custom ordered. The love chairs are actually two chairs without arms as the side chairs have two arms. I specified to Roman what I wanted and he ordered the correct configuration. Somehow, the love seat didn't seem as wide as the individual chairs, but think configuration may be flexible as it may possibly seat three.

also it will seat a couple

I know with my 4 chairs in the same configuraiton though we argue over which 2 "guys" have to sit together.

JDH62,

looks great. I was wondering how big is your riser.

Jdh,

How far are your rows from the screen?

I had a limited amount of space to work with as it is only 17' from wall to wall. My riser is 12'x5' and 8" high. 5 feet wide wasn't enough to prevent recliner from hitting row in front which was why I had to leave a space between the riser and the front row. I measured and it is only 8'6" from the screen to the front row. When I recline chair in front row, viewing the screen wasn't as bad as you would expect with a 126" screen.

I also have these and like them quite a bit. I really like how they look. I was originally going to go with the 090's, but liked the look of the 12000s better.

I'm about halfway done installing Aura pro bass shakers in them. Here's some info on how I installed them in anybody is interested:

For a really easy install, check out the Power Buy on the Buttkicker Advance kit. It comes with a chair mounting plate that you just put underneath one leg of your chair -- couldn't get much easier. I was hoping to hide the transducer underneat the chair but there is hardly any room inside the chair. Having it outside isn't too bad though.

Considering a row of four 12000's and wanted to know if everyone was still happy with them and whether they would buy again?

More pictures would be a plus :)

Any regrets?

How close can these be placed against the back wall?
