I use a 92" Da-Lite Matte White Projection Screen (1.0 gain). The viewing distance is almost 10 feet now. The av stand and riser were built by myself, but I might have to raise the center speaker a bit more. The BP10s have been rebuilt.

My sub is too big for my room (11'X11'), but it fills the entire room If I ever do decide to change it, Id go with two ~10" subs.

All the screenshots below were taken before I painted my room black (or dark blue sometimes)

The Lost poster is by Eric Tan (http://erictanart.blogspot.com/). I'll probably get around to building some kind of shadowbox(s) for my steelbooks.

Made to match the former sub riser (now used for center). Notice the crack...always pre-drill holes!

MFW-15 on the riser

w/o foam/polyfill

Using THX mode (calibrated with S&M) on the new custom Da-Lite Screen. Screen shows correct sephia effect vs the pic below.

Very nice setup, and great job on the DIY Stands!! Love the Def Tech sound. BTW, I didn't see any surrounds.

ilikemytoys  » Apr 15, 2012 08:35 AM

Very nice all around and I have to say that the view outside your window is absolutely stunning!

vsidhu  » Nov 08, 2011 09:28 PM

Thanks for the kind words thor and Bluvette! @namtab69 Those screenshots are old. I'm getting Skyrim this Friday, so I didn't buy MW3. I'll probably get it when I'm at least halfway through Skyrim. Thanks for rating

namtab69  » Nov 08, 2011 09:12 PM

great set up man! i thought you would be posting MW3 instead of MW2 oh ya nice view too 10 from me.

Bluvette  » Nov 08, 2011 08:53 PM

Awesome HT. Love the gear and speakers. The screen and projector are beautiful.

thor  » Nov 08, 2011 08:10 PM

Awesome setup. Very clean and classy. Love the gear and speakers.

vsidhu  » Aug 18, 2011 09:59 PM

@jimman It's a Da-Lite Matte White screen. I got it from av-outlet. It is a white screen and has a gain of 1.0, but it works well in a bright room like mine. Here are the specs: Da-Lite - Matte White Projection Material Cut to Size • Supported Vinyl Material • Color: White • Low Sheen Matted Surface • Does not stretch - Preferable to Hang....hence the minor ripples • Gain: 1.0 • Viewing Angle: +/- 60 Deg off of Normal The picture will be even better once I paint the room with a dark colour...those steelbooks can finally comedown then (covering holes).

jimman  » Aug 18, 2011 09:47 PM

wow real nice setup. I can tell the difference in screens and calibration even on my computer monitor. You said it was custom, what screen material is it?

prerich  » Aug 12, 2011 10:57 PM

Def Tech has always been solid! Wonderful system!

jrcarboni  » Aug 12, 2011 01:47 PM

Great setup and screenshots, congrats.

lswope00  » Jun 24, 2011 06:25 PM

sweet setup!!! i have a similar setup as well

Nice set up and another GoW enthusiast

vsidhu  » Apr 11, 2011 09:59 AM

Thank you all for the kind comments. @naturephoto1 Thanks, I am worried about that as well. I kept checking the temperature while playing some test CDs (yes it runs too hot). Since I broke my hdmi cable (while in the cable saver!), the components are not being used. I will move the center up (~2") for a total of ~5" of clearance between shelf and amp. The minimum needed is 3". The glass also dissipates the heat. The receiver will have a clearance of ~2 inches when I get something to raise the amp off of it. I'm not that worried about the receiver because it's not driving any speakers and has vents on the sides. I'm actually more worried about the xbox (the sensitive kid of electronics) being so close to all that heat.

Very Nice setup, I love your Def. Tech. speakers

naturephoto1  » Apr 11, 2011 08:26 AM

Very nice looking, comfortable Home Theater, with some fine gear and excellent job on the sub riser. However, I would be somewhat concerned about stacking your electronics (they need breathing space) with the center channel speaker resting on the platform with the platform legs sitting on the on top of the amp.

Garth Hyson  » Apr 11, 2011 08:03 AM

love the lost poster!

hamilton02  » Mar 20, 2011 06:45 PM

Great diy riser idea for the sub. nice job bro

Billz  » Mar 14, 2011 04:39 AM

Hey hi! Thanks for the comment you left on my game steels gallery. Really appreciate it. The GOW2 steel is pretty nice. One day, i'll actually sit down and play the whole game when I get the chance. Voted 10 on your gallery. Also, you may have a new friend request on xbox live.

vsidhu  » Mar 11, 2011 02:34 AM

@landry lol... I know what you mean. The sub can be very scary in my small room. I don't need buttkickers or anything like that. I have to be careful with the volume since I'm not in the basement anymore. I wish it had a night mode switch, I have to go through the reciever to do something about that. I would still like another one!

landry_p2000  » Mar 11, 2011 02:09 AM

Love the riser for the sub. I just sold that exact same sub to a friend of mine. It was killing my bedroom set-up. Just too much for us. That Epson has great PQ. Thanks for the comment and rating....

TraumaCaspian  » Mar 10, 2011 01:37 AM

Awesome set up and some fantastic screenshots!

vsidhu  » Mar 09, 2011 02:18 AM

@Trogdor2010 Thanks for rating again. GOW3 is the only 2011 game I'm looking forward to. It will probably be the only game in my box until the new Elder Scrolls game. I'm down for some Insane difficulty co-op during the winter holidays.

Trogdor2010  » Mar 09, 2011 01:25 AM

Excited about Gears of War 3? If I get my 360 fixed I could use a CO-OP buddy. P.S. your theater room is still awesome, and I hope things go out well. Nice new Da-Lite screen too!

smedhavi  » Mar 08, 2011 03:35 AM

Great setup. Amazing skin tones! I like the texture on the component shelf. Don't buff it too much

vsidhu  » Mar 07, 2011 08:31 PM

Thank you everyone for the ratings and comments. @naturephoto1, I wish I had more space. I used to have a two row basement (unfinished) setup in a space of 24x14. I guess four seats are enough most of the time. If I ever get more space I'm going to a 2.35 setup and adding seats. @sns and nature, if I get a better camera I'm reuploading screenshots. My simple sony digital just doesn't do it...the screen looks a lot better in real life

naturephoto1  » Mar 07, 2011 06:13 PM

Comfortable looking Home Theater with some nice gear. Also, good usage of available space and very nice screen shots.

Morrissey  » Mar 07, 2011 01:46 PM

Some really nice gear along with some great screen shots.

snsguy  » Mar 07, 2011 07:26 AM

Very nice vsidhu! I love the steels lined up along the top of your screen. Thanks for the comment on my gallery!
