Building a Home Theater & Listening Room


Recommended Posts



what size screen hydro ? does it need to go a bit higher so can fit in a centre below ?

The screen shown is from my old setup... am planning for a much wider screen. The old screen was kept unused for a very long time... just checking the retracting mechanism.

For screen size it's all about taste... I could easily see a 144-150 inch 2.35:1 in that space... project against the wall first THEN adjust to view and decide which screen size works best …which will be 15“ away from the front wall to accommodate behind the screen speakers.

 

I didn't want to see my speakers…. I'd prefer that they be hidden, but I do not want to sacrifice the sound quality or spend a fortune on speakers. I also wanted to start out with a 5.1 setup but future proof it to accomodate new formats in the future... I wanted to be ready for it. My initial 5.1 setup consists of 3 front speakers (left/right/center), two rear surround speakers, and a sub. To be honest, I felt that this setup is enough for a room this size. However, I wanted to plan for adding additional speakers in the future. Perhaps two additional front effect speakers, two side surrounds, and a second sub. With this functionality in mind I was able to accomodate this into my design and construction.

Nice build! You didn't think of some doors out onto the terrace or is your compromise a hanging garden

Thanks Randle,

 

There is a french door existing on the right side of the theater wall, which can be seen in these pics.
