We currently live in MA, but will be retiring to the Phoenix AZ area (at least I will be….gonna keep the wife working for the health insurance). We hope to make the move some time in 2009, but the economy continues to conspire against us.
We put an addition on my father-in-law’s house last spring which includes a 23.5’ x 13.5’ room for a theater. I went down last Apr to quickly wire for the speakers (7.1), projector, etc a day before the drywallers were scheduled. Down in Sept to complete the bathroom and again over the Xmas holiday to start the theater. Hence the temporary theater name, I’ll only be able to work on it for a few days at a time until I become permanent member of the leisure set.
Equipment we already have:
Aerial Acoustics Model 9s, CC5 center
BA E70s for surrounds/rears
Denon 4810CI Receiver
Sony CX906 400 BD changer
Parasound Halo A51
OPPO BDP 83
Toshiba XA2
Pio Elite/RS2 clone
Dual SVS PB13 Ultras
APC H15 Power Conditioner
Center Stage XD material for a 120” horizontal screen
Black Berklines 12001 w/Buttkickers in the front row
Rack - Middle Atlantic Slim 5
Here’s a Sketch-Up (do I suck at that program) of the layout - the ceiling will be black, screen wall black GOM panels and walls burgundy, and the carpet will be stolen from Jamis:
Starting point - front of room:
Rear (the door on the right leads to the patio, going to have to change that to an outswing door as it limits the width of the riser and rear seats)
And progress so far this week:
Stage
2 inches of Linacoustic:
And bass traps:
Did I mention that while they had 10" of snow and single digit temperatures this last week in MA, it was in the low to mid 70s here? Heading back on Tuesday, should be able to get the stage and riser completed.
