Landshark1, your small theater is an inspiration for me. I have bought my first home, and intend on transforming my formal dining room into a theater similar to yours. Can't wait to move in and get started. Congrats on the article, can't wait to see it... Is that the latest magazine, or next release??

well, it's more like a AVSForum's DIY section review from EH. I seen/bet more of the DIY HT there is from here. But still a good and condensed read rather than dozens of pages here.

Hi Gary,

What's the old saying? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I've been following your thread and saving money for quite some time. Last year I started construction on my basement home theater and followed your design pretty closely. I used the same color scheme, bought my blackout curtains at target and plan on painting my baseboard the same color as yours. The only thing I haven't been able to find is your couch.

Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me and for posting all of your hints, tips and pictures. My wife and I love our theater and it's in a large part thanks to you!

Hi Nathan,

Thanks. I did check Ikea but the no longer carry the couch.

It's ok though. I stopped into Boscovs and they had a reclining leather sofa on sale for $400. I picked it up. It looks great!

Try Rooms To Go if they are located in your area.

That is a really nice simple setup which I'll likely borrow heavily from.

landshark1, page 7 shows your living room and it seems your have Def Tech Mythos. What Mythos model are they and How do they compare with the BP7006 in the home theater?

Time really flys! It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since I started to build this HT! And needless to say, we are enjoying it every minutes! Wii & Kinect are fun with the big screen, and we can't image if we have to watch a movie in a relatively small (55") regular TV! We are currently planning to move to a bigger single house in about a year or so, and I just can't wait to start my Cozy HT 2.0 there down the road!!

No, the speakers in my living room is a Mirage Omni FS/OS3, I wish I could have a Mythos STS in the living room.... But a friend of mine has a Mythos 1, and I still love the BP series' bipolar sound for movies. For TV, the front firing speakers are fine to me.

This is an inspirational and very attractive installation. Thank you for sharing your passion. Are you still using the same HTPC? What is the front-end that you're running?

edit: DURRRR! I just checked out your signature link. Thanks!

This thread has been the inspiration behind our build too. We should be done next weekend with the exception of a couple small things. I have a build thread but I haven't posted in it for a while. I've been taking pics and everything, just haven't found the time to post them.

Landshark's room is very clean and simple and I think that is very appealing. I'll try and post some pics of ours in this thread when we are done. As they say, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". Great job Landshark!

I'm not sure if you have been updating on your HTPC setup but I found that XBMC's new version to be quite fantastic with my media setup. I am actually using my android phone official "XBMC Remote" app to control XBMC front end software through my wireless connection. If you have a tablet or any laptop you can actually go to the hosting IP address and see a nice little HTML based website for your videos and etc. You can add different scrapers like IMDB.com to find the descriptions and etc like the other program you were using. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me! Great job by the way. Love the way to feels comfortable while retaining the theater look. BTW, me and my wife love IKEA lol. We only wish we didn't have to drive an hr to the charlotte one everytime we wanted to buy something. Being a younger married couple we have pretty much lived there because of the modern style and all the great prices on stuff.

In my smallish space (12'x15'x8'), it's more than enough to shake the room or punch my chest. In fact, I only have the control knot at about 12 o'clock (mid) setting. But if you have bigger space, then I would recommend the SC Reference instead or some SVS sub.

Replied in your PM. But I'll also put in here for others, since the BP1.2x isn't a heavy surround, I just use those regular wall mount/bolt that you can get from HomeDepot to mount them on the drywall. Works fine for me.
