Close enough to show off my wrinkled flannel bed sheet screen anyway. I’ve been tinkering on my basement since last February on my days off. I started with bare studs and wiring / pluming roughed in when I built the house about five years ago (procrastinator extraordinaire here). A change in plans from the day I designed this place to what it is now required that I rip out most of the wiring, pluming, vents and a couple walls that weren’t baring walls.

I still need to build the screen, but I’m not sure how big to make it, so I’m playing with the bed sheet. I still need to build the cabinets for the kitchenette and do some serious cleaning throughout the house as there’s sawdust everywhere. But other than that, it’s done enough to where I can kick back and enjoy the spa and HT room.

I think I got carried away with the speakers. Sounds great, but I could have gotten away with much less in a 12’ X 16’ space (it was going to be a bedroom with its own full bath).

I am not photographer and the pictures suck. Especially the screen shot. It looks amazing in person. More to come when I get more time, maybe. I don't have much patience with posting pics.

The Jacuzzi room soffit has green rope lighting. Looks pretty cool and it's pretty darn relaxing with a cocktail on the ledge.

I built the sauna out of a bunch of 2X clear cedar I had left over when I built the deck handrails. I just planed them down. The walls and ceiling stuff I had to buy at a whopping 2.35 a lineal foot. If you ever get the itch to build a sauna, beware....that clear cedar is expensive as hell.

Man you have got it going on Michael!

Your place looks extremely nice....do you have the Boston Cherry finish on the Axioms? They seem pretty darn glossy in the pics. The HT room turned out very, very nice.

Thanks Richard. They're just the plain ol' Boston Cherrry. Everything but the 80's are from the outlet too. I still can't find anything wrong with them.

I tell ya, 6 and 7 channel music is quite a treat. Now if I could figure out how to arange the mains and sub I'd be happy. I just don't have enough space to do it right. I need a rug too. the front's are too foward with the hardwood floor. I need to build a DVD storage unit for the closet come to think about all the stuff I still need to do....dangit...

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Beautiful Mike, great craftmanship.


A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Looks awesome! Are those M2s or M3s in back, and are they on Full Metal Brackets?

How do you like them in back, as compared to another set of QS8s?
