Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Brwsaw's Room Plan

All speakers are in place and the screen has been lowered.
The image is 90" diagonal and 18 inches off the floor, pretty low. Once the seats are back in I might need to raise it back up.

If you keep your second row you may have to raise it up a bit. At 18" off the floor your eyes should be at just under the midpoint of the screen while seated in the first row.

Do you like the smaller screen size? Might take a movie to get used to.

We're hoping to get some time down there this weekend....
The screen size isn't as bad as I thought it would be, a bit of a shock to the system, but not bad. I'm already happy with it. I did move it up to 22 inches off the floor, my big toe was on screen while reclined with legs crossed.
I do want to increase it to 115" just to compare, I'd say the 90" is perfect from my chair for games though. Just want to see 115" from the back row.
It sounds great, I needed to lower the volume on the receiver again.
I ended up with more room between the rows, not sure how that happened...
As it is now the main seats (ears) are 8' from the back wall while reclined.
The Martian tonight, fingers crossed.

Great stuff. I have questions but they can wait till you've tweaked your levels if needed and lived with the setup for a bit. Sounds like you are happy. That makes me happy.

So now its been a while how did the design help you? Was it close to where you ended up leaving your speakers? Any general feedback on the accuracy of the plans would be great. Basically I want to know if they were worthwhile for you in the end or a crap shoot.

Having dimensions provided was nice.
Most of the room is currently as you drew it.
The rear surrounds are slightly further apart.

I am about to swap out the leather seating for fabric covered ones.
I'm also going to be adding my QS4's back into my system but they'll be on the side walls about 2' from the back wall.
I'll be moving one sub behind my seat again (under my second row again), I miss the tactile sensation it added.

I havent spent a lot of time in there this spring and summer but the leaves are turning color so movie season is near.

I just did a screen upgrade after doing the atmos upgrade, from 106 to 120 and did a hdmi upgrade from 1.4 to 2.0 becuse of the PJ upgrade (coming in next 2 or 3 weeks) the PJ has lens zoom memory and faux 4k with HDR can't wait...

I'm still working on screen size. I'm considering sitting in the back row and the images seems small from there. It might mean raising the Front soundstage again but to date this was the most impressive. Raised and firing straight forward.
The kids like the screen to be bigger so I'm sure I can find a middle ground.
The rooms pretty much put back together just need to recalibrate after swapping speakers, moving the rear surrounds to the sidewall/corners and placing a sub under the second row.
Might even have it done today.
