This is my Theater Lobby (aka the stairs to my basement)

I threw this one in to help show the very limited space that I was working with when I built. My Basement is half basement / half crawl space, so the largest theaterthat could be built was 10 x 19. But as you can see, I made the most of my limited space.

Closeup of my screen - a 96" Da-Lite High Contrast Cinema Perf. The entire screen wall is covered with Kinetics accoustical panels. The Front LCR speakers and subwoofers are behind the panels (obviously the accoustical material has been removed in front of the speakers, leaving only accoustically transparent fabric covering them). The cabinet to the left of the screen covers the house electrical panel.

From top to bottom, left to right: Anthem PVA-7 amplifier; Integra DTC 9.8 Pre/Pro; Directv HR20 DVR (with external 1TB hard drive, of course); Sony 400 disk DVD Player; Sony PS3; Xbox-360 w/HD-DVD Drive; and, on the far right, my home built HTPC

Epson Home Cinema 1080

Surround speakers - M&K Sound, SS-150THX

Rear Speakers - M&K Sound, Surround 550THX

Picture looking behind the screen wall. LCRs are M&K Sound, S-150THX; Subwoofers are M&K Sound, MX-150THX

Jaw-dropping. I nearly fainted.

I appreciate the suggestion. I have been trying to figure out a way to deal with it, but haven't come up with anything yet.

Johk  » Feb 25, 2009 10:16 AM

Looks very good! One thing that might be worth considering: I would put something (a small deflector) over those water valves in cause something happens (hose breaks, valve leaks)... or close the valves when you're not doing laundry. This would prevent water damage to your speakers.
