Mentioned in another thread how I am finally getting my home theater.
Moved into a new house in May. Mostly finished basement except for a drop ceiling. That will be finished tonight.
Now it is time to set up my home theater.
Went with the following (sadly had to buy everything):
Elac B6's for front and surround.
SVS PB1000 for the subwoofer.
Elac C5 for the center.
(thought about the SVS satellite system; not really sure what swayed me to go with the Elac's)
Denon avr-x1200w receiver.
BenQ HT2050 for the projector.
Peerless PRGS-UNV mount (had to support a local economy manufacturer).
Silver Ticket 110" screen (str169110) - was surprisingly easy to put together.
45 feet of monoprice cabernet HDMI cable.
150 feet of monoprice speaker wire.
Harmony home control remote with hub.
For the speaker mounts, went with VideoSecu MS56B 3LH wall mounts for front and surround. Since there are no holes in the speakers to super secure them to the mounts, will be using the foam that comes with the mounts and Blu-Tack adhesive. Some folks on avs forum have used that combination and have not reported any issues.
Center channel mount is the Sanus NFC18B.
Oh and with 8 can lights having been put in (4 on the projector side of the room and 4 on the bar side of the room) I splurged and bought some Philips Hue lights. 2 starter packs so I will have 6 bulbs (cheaper than buying a starter pack and 3 additional bulbs). The two cans closest to the screen won't have bulbs screwed in.
And then there are the seats...bought 2 sets of 3 theater seat power recliners. Seats alone were about the same cost as all of the hardware.
Have a lot of work this weekend to get everything set up.
Paint wall black where the screen will mount.
Mount the screen.
Mount the projector.
Run all of the wiring. I'm going to keep all of the AV equipment in a separate room so the wiring will have to go in the drop ceiling. Biggest pain is going to be getting the speaker wires down the wall to the mounts. Would much rather go through the walls than on the outside for a cleaner look. We shall see how difficult it is.
Seats need to get carried into the basement and set up.
Old owners were kind enough *sarcasm* to leave a leather couch that weighs a metric ton in the basement. It wouldn't fit going up the stairs (I tried). So the saws-all is saying hello to it tonight.
I'm sure there is more work to be done that I am forgetting. I'll post some pictures as the work progresses.
Oh and the wife brought home an 8 week old puppy last night. Pure madness at my house right now. It did manage to piss down the heating duct in the kitchen floor. That was fun to clean.
