My scope set up is coming along

The Vistascope screen frame is mounted,a portion of the front modifications are completed. The projection room area for the HT 5000 is coming along with the cut out for the projector shelf.

I will post some pics later.

Yes it is big. Front row is just 2x height (minimum SEMPTE seating distance). I've already seen the projector on a taller and wider screen at 16 x9 then I will have with the new set up and I couldn't see pixels. I have a friends with better than 20/20 vision and they could however.

The screen material will be the same distance from the LCR cones as before (around 11" or so).

I will post as progress worth looking at is made.

Sorry, my abridged internet dictionary didn't have that one.

Yes, I will but only about six to seven inches of peekaboo when open for accent. We could have cut back the towers a little more but I felt that this is the best compromise for maintaining the look of the towers.




Mark,
You know you are probably the main reason I went this way ,following your lead, but the room is 20' wide so despite the fact that it would be very very unlikely..............

Not nearly enough experience yet. I will let you know when I can add something worth reading.

True ! I will ,however,need to work with the audio side as well over the next five weeks before my HT meet.

Mark,
After you said that I realized that your thought has a good basis. The screen is 2.35:1 my room is 2.2:1.

The fan comes on at start up is by far the loudest thing in the rack but only comes on to high when needed. I've always had barely adequate cooling in my component room. I found that if I kept the temp below 90 at the top of the rack (the hottest place at the back of the rack) it never comes on. I'm rectifying this situation with a mini split like you have. I'm guessing except for a few seconds at start up you will never hear it. It is a beautiful piece so I'd not want to hide it away but ,thankfully, that will not be necessary.You will see when you come over in a few weeks but if I were you I'd feel comfortable that it won't be a thought in your theater.

Paul,
The G90 stack had an incredible picture but I was bitten by all of the things the HT 5000 could do well including lighting up a 14' wide screen (would have required four G90s).
