Finally got around to finishing the basement which will include a multipurpose gym/theatre area. This is it's story.
I used to have a nice theatre room first with CRT projector and curved screen, then with a digital projector and a large high power screen. Ended up moving to a cottage for a while so had no room for such a setup. Now we are back in a regular house and it's time for a new theatre. Last year I decided to get in shape (lost 80lbs in 5 months) and started strength training. I wanted a gym and a theatre but didn't want to breakup the area so figured a multipurposed room was the way to go.
The contractor is almost done his part then it's up to me to finish. This entails paint, installing doors, trim and flooring.
I still have the 12' wide (159" diagonal) Dalite high power screen from my old room, but it's too big. I just had delivered a 120" motorized tab tensioned screen. I plan to put an 85" LCD behind the screen so could not go with a fixed projector screen.
The projector, receiver etc. will probably go in my workshop, just gotta make sure the enclosure is dust proof.
Soundwise I am going with a 5.2.2 setup.
Here is the layout:
More to come!
