Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Finally My HT Pics

Very nice room. Must be hard to keep the neigbors away!

It's harder to keep my oldest boy's friends away. He had all the chairs filled the other day with 4 of them playing Halo 3.
Tomorrow the theater is mine for the Daytona 500. "Crank It Up"!

Looks nice, enjoy.

That is pretty stunning. I think I just got the OK from my wife to rearrange our 1st floor living areas to create a theater room. You wanna come visit Texas?

Beautiful work.

Personally i think the Halo line of components would have added a nice ambience to the colour lighting already in the room.

Great pics! I've got a few measurement questions for you if you don't mind.

How high is the bottom edge of your screen from the floor? Also, how far are your first & second rows of seating from the screen, and how tall is your riser for the 2nd row?

I'm in the process of my own build and some comparative advice is always good.

Thanks.

Samandnoah - Texas sounds really good to me! Still pretty cold up here for the next 2 months or more. Darn.

Chesseroo - That Halo stuff really looks cool. Those blue lights really would fit in pretty good too! I'll bet it sounds as good as it looks too. No local dealer here though. What gets displayed on that small screen when you watch movies?

Myrison - Good luck on your build! I ordered plenty of things from internet companies and it was like Christmas every day waiting for the stuff to arrive. Here's some of the measurements you requested:

There was a typo in my first post. The room measurement should have said 37 feet by 17 feet.

The bottom edge of the screen is 22.5 inches from the floor.

The riser is 12 inches high. I wouldn't go any less than that if your screen will be as low as mine or the front seats will/may obstruct your view. I haven't had any complaints from the back seats yet! Maybe because it's closer to the bar??? I actually prefer to sit in the back seats up high for a better surround sound experience.

The front edge of the riser is 10.5 feet from the screen. The first row of chairs are as close to the riser as they can get and still be able to recline.

The riser is 6.5 feet deep and 11 ft. 4 in. wide. This does not include the part of the riser that the bar sits on.

Have fun!

Wow - that bar is very cool indeed! What did you use for the bar top? Love the whole thing!

Thanks Amie.

The bar top has a 6 ft fluorescent light beneath a ¼ inch sheet of glass. The ¼ inch sheet of glass is covered by plastic light diffusers (normally used in suspended ceiling installations beneath lights). On top of the light diffusers are sliced/polished blue agates, blue “beach” (tumbled) glass, various shades of blue glass flat marbles (normally used in artificial flower vases, etc.), some clear glass flat marbles, and some clear jagged edge gem like things. The top of the bar is ½ inch tempered glass. That's all there is to it.

That room is pretty the tits. Well done.

How big is the screen and what kind of PJ did you go with?

Best idea of all was placing the bar behind the row of seating. I'm sure its a really great place to have a bunch of folks over to watch football, etc.
