Okay, I think I am now able to post pics. Here is the theater room the kind folks on this forum helped me build years ago. Wish I still had it but now I have a chance to top it so I am very excited. [img:center]http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/aspicer75/media/RainSlicke013_zps818f164d.jpg.html[/img] [img:center]http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/aspicer75/media/RainSlicke012_zps08c9965d.jpg.html[/img]

A few things I learned quickly was that I paid no attention whatsoever to sound insulation and I shouldn't have mounted my center channel above the screen. Since then I have also used the trade up program for the 350 Sub and the QS8 surrounds. I am now shopping for a new receiver to power the system. I have enjoyed Yamaha recently mostly for the ease of use. I used Denon in this theater but really hated the sytem menus.


It all matters.....just not that much.

Dang! Why do my images show up as links rather than pics?

Someone asked to see my theater space. Here are some pics. The first is a copy of the floor plan. Its an exercise room that I am converting into a theater. Currently unfinished. The diagram shows a 4' bumpout which I will have and a closet which I will not. The room is 18x18 at the largest points but you can see that with the entry way the rear of the theater room will be smaller. [img:center]http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/aspice...?sort=3&o=1[/img]

This next picture is a hand drawing of the proposed layout of the room. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome as the home is in pre construction right now. [img:center]http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/aspicer75/media/ProposedTheaterlayout-_zps436a8ade.png.html?o=0[/img]

In photobucket choose the direct link to post images here. The address should end in .jpg. Preview your reply before submitting to check links. Hope this helps. smile

You may want to edit your settings in photo bucket so your entire image library isn't public if you want.

Your old room was nice. You are renovating the same space?

Thanks I will check my settings. Not renovating. I actually don't live there anymore and have rented that home out. I am having a new home built and starting from scratch with the exception of my Epic Grand Master on wall speakers.

I'd have the hallway partially removed, so both sides of the room were the same. The alcove behind the rear seat would remain.
This would allow your rear overhead speakers to be located in more ideal locations and center your rear seats.

The adjacent room to the right needs the hallway for the entry door. The HVAC and Sump Pump is in that room and there isn't another wall to place a door for entry there.

I suppose I could remove the hallway and have the access to that room through the theater but I was planning on finishing that room and building a closet door to the HVAC. That room will be the kids toy storage room for the basement. I would prefer not to have the kids running in and out of my theater room to collect and put away their toys.

I suppose its a trade off. Do you think my sound will be greatly impacted by the decision to leave the hallway there?

The hallway should pose no real issues, maybe you could move the other overhead speaker over?

Would something like the following work ?

- stand at entrance to hallway (facing "up" in the diagram)
- starting at room corner on your left, angle up and to the right 45 degrees until you reach other side of hallway
- starting where you reached other side of hallway, angle down and to the right cutting off a corner of the toy storage/HVAC area
- door to HT goes on the first new wall, door to toy storage goes on second new wall
- depends on whether the corner of the HVAC/toy storage room you just cut off had anything important in it, like the HVAC smile
