Alright gang! Let's see pics of those Home Theaters!!!
Has your big screen made YOU the talk of the town?
Have you gained a high level of respect among your neighbors through the rumble of your sub-woofer?
Do you charge admission to family and friends when they come over to see a film at your place?
For me, the answer to these questions is a pathetic "no". However, my wife and I get a lot of enjoyment out of our modest set-up.
We live in a duplex apartment in Brooklyn, NY, and our funds are limited, so a full-blown dedicated "screening room" was not an option for us. Instead we designed and converted our living room into a theater space and put in as much slick detail as we could.
Walk with me, now, as we take a short tour through "Williams Cinema".
This is the view from the living room, looking toward the archway that leads to our apartment's entry foyer.
The opposite view, looking INTO the living room and off to the left, reveals the "Theater Wall"...
Of course, one of the STAR WARS films was showing when this photo was taken... a perpetual condition in our home.
STATS:
The Theater wall features, semi-circular "stage", lit "cubby" spaces (awaiting carpeting), 119"-Wide archway opening, and "King Blue" velvet drapes and trim.
The TV is a 70" Hitachi LCD.
All lighting in the room is linked to electronic dimmers.
A full 5.1 THX sound system is installed in the room: A Denon AV-4800 Reciever sends sounds to two B&W CDM 7NT Series tower speakers (one on either side of the TV). A third (smaller) 7NT is installed above the TV (as the center channel).
The left and right surround speakers are B&W CDM "In-Walls" (concealed behind two framed pictures on the back wall behind the couch).
The sub-woofer is the small Sunfire "Super Junior" 9" cube. It's tucked in a corner under one of the end tables.
Well, there it is. Our Home Theater. By the way, vintage MEGO commercials look and sound pretty spiffy on this set-up!
