As always,, comments and suggestions are ALWAYS very welcome!
Well, i finally did it, i completely split my 2 systems
home theater and 2 channel.
With the completion of sound treatments, i have some Minor decorating left as well, the room is MUCH more functional than i ever dreampt!
I highly recommend doing something like this. This was an existing space that i modfied heavily using alot of imagination. The value is immesurable. The room IS the most important part of the overall experience.
System edited: I regressed! (or PROgressed) The proceed equipment just,,, suits me better than the Aragon system. (when will manufacturers learn to build an EASY to use remote,,, besides Proceed that is) Sound and picture are fantastic with the AVPS and PMDT combo. The M&K sub was a bit of a step back from the matching B&W 825, but certainly no slouch. ALL IN ALL, ITS FANTASTIC! GET A CRT PROJECTOR AND BE HAPPY! Comments are ALWAYS welcome, thanks for looking!
System edited: I don't know why or what im doing wrong, but it sure is hard to take good pictures of this! I'll keep playing with it and hopefully get something so you can get an accurate idea of how this came out!
System edited: The lighting is almost all in as you can see in the newest pictures, the effect i was going for looks almost perfect! Kind of hard to take pictures that really get the feel of the amount of light that is in the room and of course carpet and trim (off white or antique white) will also change the feel of the room directly. THANKS FOR LOOKING AGAIN!
System edited: As you can see the room is now ready for its final coat of paint, Getting the accurate color in a photo is a bit of a challenge. The color is a medium dark olive green, i will probably use antique white trim and accents, The fixtures on the sides will hold 6 sconces around the room on remote controlled dimmers. I may entertain using rope lighting underneath the trim on the floor above the carpeting, anyone with any experience i sure would appreciate what you think of that. For now I am doing to use a Hi Gain DaLite model C. The Projector is a Vidikron VPF-50HDX with either a Runco or Vidikron BRS-3800 scaler. In the picture on the right hopefully you can see the built in where all the A/V equipment will go as i have Longer Transparent Super Bi-Cables for the Front Center and Right speakers. I obviously want to be able to use this room for home theater, however i really am going to explore 2 channel and build that from what i have now which already sounds very good comparing it to ultra high end systems in stores ive heard. After the lighting, trim, carpet, furniture etc. is installed i am going to consult a sound engineer to plan sound treatments. I would have rather planned it the other way around but i was limited to size and placement of the room and electronics. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS SYSTEM! IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES OF FURTHER DETAILS OR MORE SYSTEM INFORMATION THAN IS CONTAINED HERE PLEEEEEEEEASE DON'T HESITATE! Thanks so much for looking! screen that is 92 inches in width
unfortunately, this was an existing space, so i had no control over the size of the room, the only thing i had control over was the roof, and i made it 9 foot cathedral instead of 8 feet flat, even in my infancy i figured this could not possibly be bad. i cannot change where the doors are or are going about all i can change is speaker placement and sound treatment locations, and mostly im concerned with the best wiring for what im doing. I really would like help with isolating the ground which is what i read is sonically best but i dont know how to do it. any help is appreciated as well as other suggestions for sound treatments or soundproofing.
System edited: As you can see i am constructing my room as we speak! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN WITH COMMENTS/QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS! I can AND WILL modify this room based on help from Agon Members! Thanks!
Thanks for the comments Rives, actually I am beginning to research this information right now, and your company was one of the recommendations, i will look at your websight and probably be in contact soon, i have the contractor lined up now to do the structural modifications (there are limitations of course) ;-( As it looks now the room will HAVE to be approximately 12 feet wide x 20 feet deep with 9.5 foot cathedral celings (for lack of a better term) V- shaped. I can go ALOT deeper on this room ( maybe as deep as 30 feet) So that is where i will begin my research.
