Another Aussie Home Theatre
Well it begins! We've decided on a HT provider and the carpenter has started to raise the floor at the rear of the room. 2 windows should be framed up within days and the doors should arrive within the next 2 weeks. Pre-wiring for AV and lighting is due to start this Thursday.
The budget for the AV side of things came in just a tad over $18k installed (including most products, labor and programming). Due to budgets, we were not too focused on sound proofing. We concentrated on getting a solid door (but not anything commercially rated) with quality acoustic seals. The side/rear windows are being filled in and going to be filled with acoustic insulation. The big (rear of room) window faces the street so unfortunately is not going to have anything except a large curtain over it.
Sound treatment is going to consist of on the wall panels and will be decided upon later due to door being positioned in a "prime" spot.
Room to be painted a very dark bluey/grey, just a tad off black.
