Description

My weekend project converting TV Room into a movie room with Epson 8350 projector.

It was a toss up to replace the trusty 50" Hitachi with either a 60" LED 1080p TV or a projector. The projector option won and I'm really happy with the result.
Total cost for all - projector and mount, cables, paint, component stand, curtains and hardware - $1917.32

Dimensions

448x336

Whether watching movies or simply listening to great music the sound envelops you. _________________________ Marantz SR-5300, Oppo BDP-93, Epson 8350, Mains-KEF Calinda,Center-VP180,Surrounds-Dahlquist Q4s,QS8

Looks great! Tell me more about the black rectangle on the ceiling? _________________________ We are a whole community of "that guy" - StPatGuy
