Hi Avs Members

Welcome to my HT. I've been very passionate about HT for awhile know and it all began when I got married.
Ive always enjoyed movies since I was young but experienced my HT when I begged my wife for a HTIB. I promised her that I won't buy anything that had to do with Home Theatre again if she allowed me to buy it ( my wife still kicking herself saying why did I let him buy it )
It was RCA pro logic unit and I thought it was the best thing in the world, 14 years later and my addiction got the better of me.

My HT room had been originally treated by a HAA representative ( has gone through some changes ) and the room treatment they chose was by Fonics. Do room treatment make a difference? Yes it does!! a night and day difference.

My equipment is separated from my room.
I have 7 BD players and I use them all.

The story of 7 blu ray players.
When I moved to blu ray from HD DVD I used to own 4 ps3 two region A and two Region B. Once the players became readily available my first BD player was a panasonic dB BD 30 region A. Good player too. Denon then announced there first Transport player. I sold my 4 ps 3 BD players and had to get the transport. I love there design and the idea of them being a Transport. When the region B was available I had to get it too. The 2310 btci came about when I was looking through eBay and they were selling it for a steal. Why not I thought at that price how can I go wrong. I then bought an Oppo bd 80 multi region because I run CIH and it had subtitle shift. I also bought a Sony bdp 550 region B because I noticed there were some movies that didn't play well in all players so I needed another one for back up. But I found the sony did a great job.

I decided to sell the panasonic bd 30 and Sony bdp 550 and buy the Oppo bdp 93 and bdp 93 multi region( which I use as region B ). Waboman told me about the Oppo bdp 93 and the Sony bdp s5000es so I have to thank him for that. I was looking through audiogon one day and noticed they had a few Sony bdp s5000es left ( brand new ) so I decided to go for it. That player retailed for $2599Au and for $500Au delivered how can I pass that up.

I bought a server rack for my players so I had an empty shelve and I orderd the Phillips bdp 3000 available only in region B which I will use also. The good thing is the Dvdo Duo can accept up to 8 hdmi inputs.

Samsung monitor to let me know what my AVP is doing.
Room Calibrated by certified HAA representative. I added Audyssey Eq Pro for the EQ and does an awesome job.

Well thats it. Who knows where it will go in the next 10 years but I hope I can still enjoy it.

This was my old theatre. I didnt mind it but what annoyed me the most was the height of the screen, if there was a problem changing a cable or locating the problem it was an effort ( literally had to rip everything out and lay down inside the cabinet which was very uncomfortable and it  took me at least 2 hours + minimum ) and upgrading it . I had to then rerun audyssey everytime and I got sick of it. When I built my home in 2000 I had a room behind me which was used for storage but the wife gave approval a few years back to put my gear in a server unit and I never looked back since then.

Thanks superleo.


Thanks Homeless


Thanks Lino



Thanks ldgibson76. There is very little reflection actually. I was worried at first but the grey paint did a great job absorbing it.

Thank you ddgtr.

Thanks Waboman

Thankyou Seth. Its another one of those best investments that I have done for the room.

Thanks mate. With the screenshots im going to wait and get a descent camera. My small canon won't do it any justice. Actually I will add a shot from the front of the room to the back tomorrow.

Just added 2 more pics

Back to the beginning

If you ever came to Australia Perth you will certainly get an invitation

Hi ldgibson76,

The speakers are Sonance and there Beryluim which are the same as my Focals. Audio wise is fantastic I love it and most movies sound great.Room treatment and having my room HAA calibrated and Subs Calibrated professionally has certainly made a difference. We can't forget Audyssey(The the cheery on top).
Going anamorphic had a big night and day difference for me and my first films I had to watch was the Star Wars Trilogy and seeing the Star Destroyers come across the screen in that size is mind blowing. Im looking forward to watch LOTR on BD, Just can't wait for its release.

Thanks hdblu

Dont worry my friend im exactly the same. With mine they take the whole day off.

Hi MikeDuke,

How have you been? its been awhile since we spoken my friend. The room is 4mx5m.

thanks paranormalg35

Thank you Mike.

The screen is 117: and its a 2:37:1 scope size which is nice. Im sitting 4m back which is 13.12 feet. Any larger in screen it becomes to big its just right at that size.

What type of TurnTable are you looking at Mike?
