Finally I took some pictures of my small theater I've been enjoying since 2017. This year I did a little upgrade and I think it's safe to say I'm good for a while.
Pretty much everything you see is inhouse design. No commercial products except for the gear of course. Average age of the gear is roughly 20 years so I think most if it qualifies as vintage.
However, I had significant help from @Roger Dressler, who I accidentally met online back in 2008. Since then he's been very generous by sharing his knowledge and because of him I was starting to realize the scope and grandeur of advanced home cinema systems. There were also many others whose experiences helped me perfect this room.
Besides good home theater experience I wanted great stereo sound as well. This was achieved only recently by adding fourth sub and spending many hours setting all the sub filters. Despite learning a lot in this process it was still quite a challenge. I went for the Harman curve becasue flat response sounded boring. Turned out slightly elevated low end was my preference all along. I just didn't do any measurements in my previous setups. I was lucky!
This is my fist dedicated room so there was a lot of testing and experimenting. What I'do differently? Bigger room!
