Movie Palace - Im a TK Wannabee!

Being in my late 20s i know i still have alot to learn. I would love to be a premier home theater designer.Theo Kalomirakis is my role model. Everytime i see a new theater he has created i stand in awe.

Well i am NO Theo, but I have tried to create a home theater that seems to take you back in time to the movie palaces of the 30's and 40's.


Anyways, a little about the room! I have added only my house. It consist of closing in a covered porch and making it into a sunroom and adding a new 16' wide by 25' deep theater. The ceing height starts at 10' at the back of the room, which matches the rest of the house. The room steps down 2 times with an 18" drop for each. The ceiling in the front is 13' high.


I am installing a 14' wide 2.40:1 SMX screen. I am using a DP Titan Ref 1080P projector with the Theater Scope Premier package (ISCO III lens with auto sled). The front speakers are RBH Signature T-2P and T-1 center. The 6 surround speakers are RBH SI-760. The equipment currently is a Denon 3808CI with Anthem amps. I have ordered the new Anthem AVM50V but am still waiting on it.


Seating is 12' to front row. 18' to second row. 24' to third row.
