The CopperFields Cinema - Page 14

I appreciate the response and I am sure I will be going with Coasters.

Hey Scott, any new pictures with the trim up? You're room is very similar in style to mine and I was hoping to get a sneak peak at my room when it's done. I'm just finishing up my furring strips. Still haven't hung my projector though.

You Sir need to be Loganed.

Enter at your own risk

I agree with oman....but you have to have a thick skin! That Logan is brutal! Just be prepared... he will Logan you weather you like it or not!

It's funny, with the recent beautiful weather I was driving around the big O and thinking about Dan's meet last year and wondering how you were coming on your theater.

I am out of here for vacation for a couple weeks, maybe when I get back you will have finished it off and we can get Anders and Jim and Dan and everybody to come check it out.

Keep on cranking!!

No kidding. I got Loganed without even "technically" getting Loganed. Simply the fear of being Loganed caused me to comment that I was getting busy so as not to become Loganed. That fear was actually me being Loganed without even knowing it. It is a brutal world we live in

Scott, I don't know how I managed to not read your thread until now!

I enjoyed watching the progress, and also glad to see you didn't keep up that pace for the whole build! It makes me feel better about myself.

I absolutely love, love, love, the material choice you made. I'm going after something similar. Your entire thread will be helpful reference to me as I progress myself.

My screen is the exact dimensions you have, but I'm going with the seymourav material. Most say it is the same stuff. I was curious in your comments of the screen being a bit too large for front row. I've got mine mocked up on the sheetrock, and it is borderline. But I can't help but feel that future projectors will grow right into the 12' screen size! Although, your screen caps looked great! Any further comments on screensize now that you've lived with it for awhile?

Amazing theater, you have there!

Have you considered (since you have an AT screen) replacing your center speaker with another matching PSB tower so you have the ideal three identical vertical speakers across the front? You will be in seventh heaven.

I don't have an AT screen, just a DLP RPTV right now (dang it!) and had not too long ago bought Paradigm Studio 100 tower speakers with matching CC-690 center. One reason I went with the Paradigms was that their big horizontal centers are almost timbrally the same as their towers (one thing Paradigm is known for doing). The CC-690 is huge; almost like a tower layed on its side! If I had the room for an AT front projection home theater I would have picked up another Studio 100 rather than the CC-690, but have not regretted it so far.

In your case instead of being almost matched you would be 100% sonically seamless across the front. The beauty of AT screens!

Just a suggestion.

You sure you want those brown coasters for seating? They suuuuuuuure would look good in my room

Very Nice Theater Build- Can Not Wait To See More. I Will Be Starting Soon. Thanks For So Many Great Pictures Too!

I only took a couple photos of this process not sure why I didn't include the sub flooring install too.

WOOlly,

Very nice build thread and great HT. The photos are very helpful. Do you have any sub floor install photos remaining that you could post? Did you use more than one layer of subfloor or plywood over the Delta and foam? Did you attempt to address any flanking issues with your sub floor install? If so, how successful were you?

Thanks,

kjlewie

I'm planning to use many of the sound isolation techniques you describe in your build - DD/GG/RSIC and acoustic caulk and HVAC treatments. I've read in several threads that if you correctly build your walls and ceiling for sound isolation while not addressing the floor, that the sound - low frequency, I believe - will "flank" your wall and ceiling treatments and travel through the floor.

I saw your install post of the Delta and I wondered if in addition to treating the potential water issue, would it act as a decoupler of the floor? My thought being, if it decouples the floor then there would be no flanking. Not sure if I explained all of that correctly.

By the way, the single person drywall rig is really neat. Once I start, I imagine something like that will be necessary.

Thanks,

kjlewie

Very nice!

I'm drooling over your screen.

137" wide 2.35:1 AT screen (including border) ... I requested a price quote from SmX but from what I'm hearing (I haven't got the quote yet), I'm guessing its going to be out of my price range.

You're going to need a very bright projector. What are you planning to use?

Very impressive! I can only hope my theater turns out half as good.

I was leaning towards the Panasonic PT-AE2000.
