Incredible pictures of the build. Love all that custom stuff on the walls and the ceiling is ridiculously cool.
Sorry to hear the final pieces aren't coming together as smoothly as one would hope. That said, the room seems like a big enough investment that your brother should take his time (and it looks like a little bit money, unfortunately) to get it right.
Post some more pics of the final set up with speakers, etc. I really want to see it in its completed state.
You would be surprised at how inexpensive the room design was. It was a hefty chunk of money, but you can buy a projector for more than the price of the room. We tried to do the whole thing on a relative budget. We saved a lot of money here and there. Axioms are great speakers but relatively inexpensive. The NAD is the only mistake we've made so far, and that can be fixed with a $600 amp. We tried to get away with the budget NAD and it got us. It's still a great receiver. If that's the only problem we have, then we're in good shape.
