It has been many years since I posted on this forum. Back in 2013 I put on a huge addition to a house I no longer own and part of that addition included a very large, 12 seat dedicated theater: (Image photo shopped, obviously). Old thread was for the Living Hope Theater on AVS. I sold that...

I’ve done a lot of reading around the threads and it seems that the importance of left and rights in a home theater setup is highly subjective. I have a 5.1.4 setup with Polk OWM5s as left/right and rear surrounds. Height Atmos speakers are OWM3s. My center is a Emotiva C1+ and the sub is SVS...

I have a small dedicated theater room in my basement. The area around my screen is treated with 1" thick insulation board covered in black velvet floor to ceiling. This treatment also extends out 4 feet on the ceiling and left wall. The right wall at the front is the entrance to the room and is...

I am trying to reach Aimee from Hollywood Marquees. It appears she is no longer in business, but I would still like to speak with her about the amazing designs she was offering. Does anyone know where she went or how to contact her?

Listing for a local friend. This center is in great shape, no issues. Rated an 8 for age. He used this in a dedicated theater room with his Focal Aria 936's and ended up finding a matching center to the Aria's. Buyer pays shipping and PP fees. No original box, but will be packed well for...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying an amp to put in my basement HT (see signature for equipment) and just have some questions. I have 7.1 and I would only be able to afford a 3 channel amp. so I would use it for my front LCR speakers. 1. Would I notice a big difference in sound quality? is it...

Hi all, this might be a dumb question, but I just want to make sure. is it possible to play something on your HT that gives distortion even at low volume levels? obviously it would cause distortion at high levels, but i'm specifically asking about low volume levels. a type of sound from a low...

Hi all, there is something wrong with my Kodi video settings on my Windows 10 computer that I have in my basement HT. when I watch a movie using kodi, the picture looks weird. it kind of looks over processed and the bright areas are way too bright. If I watch the same movie using media player...

Hi all, does anyone know of a website that sells acoustic panels but ones where I can upload my own picture and it on the panel? I do photography in my spare time and would like to have my own pictures in my HT and so why not have them in the form of acoustic panels?

So I am ready to pull the trigger on a projector setup in the following family room (open, not ideal theater setup so lumens are more important than contrast). I have decided that UST is not a good value and would be nearly impossible with any pull down so that leaves me with moving up the fan...
