UPDATE: Please note the change in contact email address below. We've moved to a new contact address and won't be able to move over any past entries, so if you have submitted your info to be a HT of the Month, please do so again at the email address below.
We want to bring this back with a vengeance. I love Home Theater and it’s why I am the Editor here. While I will enjoy writing reviews, what really makes AVS special to me are the HTs our members build and use!
So I would like to invite members to make submissions. Even if you’re a “lurker” feel free to submit!
If you’re a custom installer and want to show off a build submit!
That's great that you're bringing it back!!! I should be finished with mine in 3 weeks and will be submitting once it is done. One of my goals/dreams for years was to be Home Theater of the Month. I was so sad to see it go away before I was able to do my build. I love looking through ones from the past. Thanks for bringing it back and I can't wait to see all of the awesome Home Theaters!!
Long, long, long time lurker. My theater should be finished in October, and I'll post pics here as well. 25 years in the making. Can't wait for it to be done and to be able to share it here in the inner sanctum of all things AV.
1. No.
2. He took another gig in his favorite hobby. He will still write here occasionally. Mark is awesome and we are happy to have him continue on occasionally sharing his opinion on gear.
How will this work? Will you choose one based on the submissions you get during that month, or assign a winner and hold on to other 'runner up' type submissions to compete with new entries that follow in subsequent months? I gotta figure out my strategy here. ;-)
Currently it’s looking like we might be able to have HT of the Week, if submissions continue like they are. Which would be awesome.
Until we get to that point anything worthy (every submission so far has been) gets organized, polished, then will get published. Right now looks like we have a September, October, November, and December theaters. We will know who gets what month based on how quickly the articles get polished.
I have yet to see a submission unworthy of publication. All submissions have been theaters owners should rightly be proud of. Yes, some look more impressive than others but I would be happy to call any of the submissions my home theater.
Remember CI Firms! Submit too! This is a chance to get your work some marketing! Many members here aren’t DIY and are looking for someone to design and build out their rooms. This is a place where your work can be seen.
I am a long time lurker who doesn't post super regularly and joined AVS in 2006 specifically because of this dedicated home theater construction section. I will be using this post and updating it to document the theater that I have been designing and building over the last 18 months or so in...
I'd vote for home theater of the month. HT of the week almost seems like it... devalues it somehow? Nothing wrong with getting a little picky and stock piling a room or two. ^_^
It would be great if we could sort all our home theaters by both room size (cu. ft.) and pricetag (budget breakouts like <$10k, $10k-$50k, $50k-$100k, $100k+).
I agree that HTOW would probably de-value it. That'd be 52 a year, which is not only more work for the team but it wouldn't really be "news" at that point after several weeks.
Could there be an easy way to sort by tags if they all followed the same format? I think that people are really just looking for room size and total cost.
Example: TAGS; room size 200-300, cost below 10k or TAGS; room size 300-400, cost above 25k
As long as people followed the same format from a predetermined list, it would make it very easy to search.
I agree. The cost should include what items should be included in the total for consistency.
I would also suggest adding a "Family Room" category.
