I've started framing the basement for my home theater. YAY! I thought I had all the design considerations worked out. Not. Boo, Hiss.
I'm building 2X4 walls within a concrete basement. I don't want to compromise the room acoustically by building a closet that opens into the room with a glass door. I understand acoustic glass exists, but I imagine that it's prohibitively expense. This would be equipment design choice one.
If I had the equipment outside the wall in the basement using an IR extender for the remote, would the temperature (I live in the Northeast) in the unfinished portion of the basement cause any condensation issues with the equipment?
My gut instinct says that the basement doesn't really ever drop below 50 degrees F in winter. I will have a dehumidifier in summer. Any real life experiences?
