Hi everyone,

Just joined the forum, and am very interested in the topic, as I will be starting construction of a home theater this fall. The room will be 12 ft long, and 14 ft wide with 7 ft ceilings. The equipment I am looking at are the Sony VPL-VW50, either a Stewart Studiotek 130 or Carada Brilliant White screen 92" diagonal screen, A Def Tech speaker system (Probably 2 7002 towers up front, 3000 l/c/r center, and 2BPVX surrounds) or a Onix Rocket system (2 850's up front, RSC200 center, 2 RSC 300 surrounds) \, and and Outlaw Audio 990 with a 7500 amp. I would like to incorporate some kind of media center, and will be purchasing a combo HD DVD/Blu Ray player. The room will be completely painted satin enamel black (wall and ceiling, or maybe a fiber optic star tile setup for the ceiling), and black carpeting will be used. So those are my ideas, anyone can chime in and offer any suggestions, comments or heplful hints. Thanks.
Welcome Jedinite6,

The thought of building a home theater is always exciting but can seem overwhelming. Make sure and post ideas and updates in the forums. There are alot of people out there with helpful hints and lots of experience.

Have you thought about building your own speakers? It's a challenge but worth the money savings if you have the tools.

I like the fiber optic idea. My wife wants to do fiber optic stars in our HT room.

Its a good idea to stay with satin or flat paint but you don't have to use all black. Darker colors work fine and can add a more friendly look to the theater (just my 2cents).

Best of luck.
