Here is a quick pic of what my home theatre is looking like. You will note the distinct lack of living room furniture except for my previously mentioned giant lovesac bean bag. Yes, no living room furniture yet. The set I wanted was discontinued when I ordered everything else and still haven’t found anything else I like.
So this first pic is the “wall unit” where I have the projector mounted and the receiver, cable box, DVD player, and currently regular XBOX. But the XBOX 360 Elite will go up there if it ever comes from Sharper Image (had GC’s). I have a 15″ 250 watt RMS powered subwoofer that should be here tomorrow or Wed that will be added. That will sit on the floor behind wherever the couch ends up. I still need to put some stuff up to clean up the wiring a little. That is a black ceramic gargoyle with gold wings up on the very top over the projector. No BluRay yet, but considering it, possibly a PS-3 though I don’t play enough games to even justify a single gaming system let alone 2 or 3 or the 4 if you count my Nintendo-64 too. Have a digital HD tuner on order right now to pick up the non-encoded stuff on cable. Oh that TV below the ladder is a Samsung 26″ Flat Panel I was using to test video signals with.
The second pic is the screen. The screen itself is 150″ but I am only getting about a 130″ image since I couldn’t get the projector far enough back. I put my PRS electric guitar in front of it so you can get a feel for size if you don’t know the Bose speaker line. That image is from normal digital non-HD cable taken around 2:40PM[1] and the doorwall on the left is on the west side of the house so that is pretty full sunlight coming in. It is amazingly bright when it is darker and you get a great movie theatre feeling once it is dark enough not to see the screen itself.
I look forward to having time to just sit and cuddle up and watch movies and chomp down popcorn with Amish Butter topping and Cherry Twizzlers.
