I was extremely fortunate enough to win the GIK Acoustics Shopping Spree so I wanted to document what's to be done to my new room.
This house is new for me, I just moved in about 5 months ago and had to endure the Christmas rush at the office so not much time was spent in the new house.
I have decided to make this a movie only dedicated room, no music as I didn't want to run the projector all the time. I have 5 Triad Monitor Gold speakers behind the acoustically transparent screen for a DSX wide set-up to try and it sounds pretty good so far. The side surrounds you see are one pair of my Von Schweikert TS-310 tri-pole surrounds but they will probably be moved to the downstairs system if I wind up using the Triads in this room.
I still have a lot of work to do and of course the screen is not going to be like that. I just had to cook something up really quick as some family members wanted to see what it would be like so I was getting hounded. My Sister and brother-in-law want to have a home theater as well so I just wanted to show them what can be done and now there hooked:spend:
I am pretty open to placement, paint color and what not, haven't really had a chance to think it through much. I don't plan on making it too complicated though as I am part time into real estate so this home may be converted to rental in about 2 years depending on the market. If I knew I was going to be here long term than I would have other plans but right now it's get my 2 years in as an owner occupied property and go from there.
I am going to document the transformation of this room through the help of GIK acoustics and comment on difference room treatments can make. This will be my first use of professional room treatments so it's exciting to give it a go.
Thank you to GIK, Sonnie and everyone here at the Home Theater Shack, I am very thankful for this opportunity.
Here are some pics and my feeble attempt at a Sketchup of the room:
