Hello all.
I've been lurking for some time now...the stars are about to align and the HT project will soon begin.
The space-
An existing 19'L x 15.5'W x 8'H room that was added to the back of our house a few years ago. This room shares one of its 15.5' walls with the house and has been serving as a beauty shop for my soon to be unemployed wife.
The equipment-
Nothing purchased yet but the plan includes Sanyo Z2, Yamaha 2400, Axiom 60 Fronts, Axiom VP150 center, and Axiom QS8 surrounds. I've test driven and very much liked the Lazy boy home theatre offering so two of those are planned as well.
The plan-
Sound proofing wise, the shared wall is my big concern. I'll probably add a second wall here -- resilient channel is a definite possibility too.
The A/V equipment closet will be new construction. That space is currently unused space within the utility room.
Planning to add all of the standard HT trappings -- recessed lights, remote control dimming, etc.
Leaning toward a 100" Carada screen (white or gray -- as yet undecided)...seating distance will be around 12.5'. Based on what I've seen at a friends house (he's got a Z2 too) I'll have no problem with SDE at that distance.
As part of the deal with my wife I have to move the PC out of the bedroom so I'll need to squeeze a desk in here somewhere. I'll likely custom build a work surface into the corner opposite the A/V equipment closet (behind the seating).
Sorry for the long post....I'll attach the layouts and stand by for your comments. Any and all observations and suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks. Randy KE3QZ
