Beautiful!

I ended up putting velvet on the floor in front of the screen as the black carpet was actually nowhere near black enough and was very visible compared to the walls and ceilings, which are invisible during screenings.

PS What lens are you using in the camera to get that shot?

Black carpet looks nice, it really sets the stage off from the rest of the room. Not as black as the rest of the front wall but looks good.

Jeff,
The set up of the BRIC ,using it's wired key pad is plug and play. Getting it into the remote is today's task.

We are still working with the projector,throw and port opening. So far this is the most complex and confounding aspect.

Enjoy your vacation !

Yes you should be happy . You have been, and remain to be the gold standard for quality, and performance in my book. Your theater has always been a source of inspiration.

I couldn't agree more. While my budget is much lower, as I currently go through the dedicated home theatre build in my basement, Art's setup has been and continues to be an inspiration. I continually strive for the same level of attention to detail and for the same passion that he demonstrates. Thanks again Art for sharing your ongoing saga and I look forward to meeting you in person later this month.

Art,

Your setup has always been a monument to the doctrine of no compromises, now it's better. Can't wait to hear your reaction when it is fully up and running.

I love the screen height, floor to ceiling. Very theatrical.
You better cut a hole in the seats and install disposable toilet bags for the grand opening!
post #76 of 235
Hmm that's an idea Art plastic rap the chairs, and play the "Brown Note" at plus 10 reference. I know it's only a urban myth no proof to back it...

Predictions...

Cliff will yell and get excited, as only Cliff can.
Art will have a big smile on his face now that the day has finally arrived.
Ken will calibration all the bulbs in Arts light fixtures.
Marks products will about implode peoples heads making them say good god man do you have a license for those things.
People from all around the world will have a great time talking to each other.

and me well I'll probably say some Caddy Shack quotes and trip the light fantastic.

Oh an there might just be a fruit pizza in there somewhere you never know... you never know....

So Alan,would you recommend giving them out with the name tags at the door as the most appropriate time? Should we explain to the wives and girlfriends or just expect HT nuts to know?

Is there an online vendor that will give deals for bulk quantity? The local porn shop doesn't carry that many.

We need to move the track and cut them back so they will retract enough for about six to eight inches of peekaboo but yes, we are going to hang them again. The expert is my wife Angela so we are going to work on that next week.

Thanks Art, I can't find your room dimensions, anyone know them? I assume your screen is 6' x 14' ?

My room is 18 x 18, only running 1 row of seating so 14 - 15' from 14' wide screen should be sweet.

Thanks for all your contributions to the forum, and good luck with your new state of the art.
