Hello everyone and thanks for all the post the many of you have contributed. I have been lurking around the forum for about a year or so. Dreaming of a theatre room and drooling from the mouth to build one. As many of you well know, after sitting here for a year reading periodically, i have very many questions to ask. I first want to start with the basic ones.
My room is 15'8" wide and 18'9" long. My ceiling height is 8'2" to the bottom of the floor joist (this is in a basement). I have had to install a laminated beam across the width of the room to do away with a poll. This beam extends down one foot and is approximately 7' from the front wall. This leaves the ceiling height at 7'2" and this point. The front wall is framed with 2x6 and sides are with 2x4. I understand that i need some sound barrier/dampening in the walls and that i might want to put risers, and that i need to know where to put the front row of seating. I have one window in the room so I also understand that i need to block all or as much light as possible while watching a movie.
Here is my questions.
What screen size do you recommend?
What projector do you recommend?
I haven't really placed a number on the budget for the equipment but i can tell you this, the wife is going to be watching closely to the bottom line. I want top of the line like most but can't afford that. I guess to sum it up the best bang for the buck.
Thanks again to all who have helped educate me over the past year or so.
Now i really need some help!
