Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater The Wolf's Lair Theater

I think I wet myself when it first happened. But once we got it all loaded up again, I was laughing as I drove away .

That's insane! Well done, sir. I can't believe that's an 18x12 room. Mine's 20x12 and I doubt I could create something so nice.

What size is the screen?

Thanks JLunden,
I think the pictures make the room look bigger than it really is. It will also probably look/feel much smaller once the chairs arrive. The screen in 105" 16x9 DIY SmX screen.

Is SmX the type of material you used for the screen?

Yes, SmX is the material. It was developed by a guy who goes by the handle SandmanX, thus SmX. It is an acoustically transparent material that he sold to the DIY crowd at AVS forum for a while. He has since developed it into a complete screen company and no longer sells to the DIY crowd. He has a tremendous thread over there in which he documents the testing of all sorts of different material (Guilford of Maine fabric, Dazion, big name AT screen material, etc). Eventually he settled on a Pfiefer product (used to make window blinds I believe). He had them make some changes to their product to come up with the SmX material. It is a pretty cool story if you have a long time to read through his thread. His home theater is spectacular and has since been featured in Audiovideo Interiors Magazine, so you may of seen it before.
