Its been nearly 4 months since I ordered the screen. The majority of that time has been waiting for material from Seymour. I wish I would have ordered the fabric much earlier in my build and just put together my own screen.

That's really strange. My order direct from Seymour for a custom cut was lightning fast.

That's pretty disappointing. I've never heard of someone having to wait that long for the wrong screen mo less. Is the screen being ordered from Seymour or Jamestown?

I ordered from Jamestown. I think most of the delay time has been waiting on material from Seymour.

Took me like 3 weeks for my EN4K to come in

Have you tried calling Chris and speaking with him directly?

I don't know who Chris is. But communication with James at Jamestown has not been an issue for the most part. James always answered in a timely manner until my last few emails in the last few weeks. The last email I received from James said he was expecting the material shortly and that was May 9th and that he would have the frame ready to go when the material arrived. That the last update I received on the screen.

Probably tired of suggestions and answering questions at this point but have you thought about canceling your order and going with a Stewart? Htmarket.com could get you one faster than that I would think.

Pop over to the Seymour screen thread in the screen forum and ask if there is a backlog. Chris is the owner of Seymour AV

if you need his email address I'll pull it up. He was very fast in responding to me with all my questions. Something doesn't sound right, it is very unSeymour like

Yes from my dealings with Chris and Seymour, it sounds like you have a middle man problem.

The seymour fabric was indeed out of stock for almost 3 months. It was listed as out of stock on the website. Jamestown shipped pretty soon after the fabric was available again but I received the wrong size screen. Not sure what the hold up has been since, but I did get an email from Jamestown saying that he is expecting material from Seymour today and my screen would ship tomorrow.

Since the screen should be arriving this week I thought I better get a stand made up for the center channel. I started building a stand then realized that I had an old audio rack that would work to hold the center channel.

What type of speakers are you using again? I am sure it is somewhere in this thread, but kind-of a PITA to rummage through the 40+ pages of posts.

Theater is looking great!

Psssssst. It is only 32 pages long, geez....

Just teasing. Lots to sort through to find details.

Of course, if you look at the very first post on page #1, you will see the list of his gear, including speakers...

Thanks Nick. I forgot SM2K had those links at the beginning of the thread as relatively few others do. I've never heard them before, but they look substantial to say the least.

And by the way - my mobile device is showing it at 40 pages....could possibly be how I have it set up in my preferences. Either way, there is a lot of material in this thread!

Yes the speakers are from PBN Audio. They are from the Montana line and the model is the EPS. PBN is not very well known but that is changing. Once people discover PBN speakers they stick with them and upgrade within the line. I've owned many speakers over the years and listened to lots of others including ones that many times the price of the PBN's and have yet to hear anything that makes me want to get rid of the PBN's. They are not cheap but they do offer a lot of bang for the buck. I do not have the Custom side surrounds yet, but that is on my list as a future upgrade. The side surrounds will be based on the EPS's little brother the SPI.

My screen is supposed to arrive today so in preparation I decided I better cover my white screen supports. I thought of painting them but I had all the leftover velvet that I ended up not using on the star ceiling so I thought I would wrap the supports in velvet just to eliminate any potential to reflect light that goes through the screen.

Its hard to take a picture of velvet, but here is a shot of the screen supports.

Solid use of wasted material. Plus no chance of getting paint on your nice new carpet.

What screen supports?

That velvet really hides them.

The room is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see the screen go in. I'm about a month behind you.

For me the work pretty much came to a halt when the speakers went in. Been listening to lots of music lately.

Stock,
Did you get the screen in? If so, we demand pictures of the completed screen wall immediately.

Screen arrived on Friday and I got the screen installed on Saturday. I still have to build the frames around the screen. I did manage to get the frame built and covered underneath the screen.

I also took a few screenshots. These are with my point and shoot so they really do not do it justice. I have not done any video tweaking at all - this is the out of the box projector settings.
