I don't believe that anyone has already created a thread on this topic. That seems incredible, but if they have I can't find it.
I want to read a simple article that states facts like -
The average HT costs $10,000. 15% is spent on the projector itself. 25% is spent on the speakers and speaker wiring. 20% is spent on furniture. The balance is spent on architectural changes and construction.
I made up all the figures shown in this post.
Where is the article that states -
There are 1,511,630 Home Theaters in the US. The average (mean) cost is $23,000. The median cost is $11,000. The SD is $4,600.
Currently there are 16,760,000 front projectors in use. 88% of the market by numbers and 72% of the market by value are business projectors.
73% of the HT projectors sold for under $1,500 use DLPs. 24% use LCDs. The balance use LCoS.
A typical HT projector owner changes his projector after 2.4 years. The typical HT owner changes his bulb after 1830 hours.
An analysis if the transition matrix shows that front projection owners are very unlikely to ever switch back to a flat screen TV.
41% of all HT owners had their theater built by a contractor. The balance built it themselves. Contractor built theaters took 6.2 weeks to finish. DIY theaters took 1.3 years.
The average HT front projector screen is 104" diagonally. 86% of such screens are 16:9. 10% are 4:3 and the balance are wide screen (2.20 or greater).
The average size of a HT in the US is 18.6' by 14.3' with ceilings of 7.8'. Converted bedrooms are seen in 73% of all HTs and 14% garages.
I could go on like this. The point is that even after reading this forum and two other sites almost everyday for at least three years, I don't know dick.
Why is that?
