Here are a few pics of my room.

The doors are not white anymore - painted them flat black and jumped from a Sanyo Z1 to a Panny 900.

Nice room !!!!

**Sonnie** · **03-27-07, 02:29 PM**

Yes.... very nice!

**cburbs** · **03-27-07, 03:49 PM**

Thanks - next I want to work on some acoustic panels etc for it. Maybe this summer.

Very nicely done...Those seats give it a real theatre look..

My only concern would be that seat right against the side wall...Whoever gets that seat is going to get one sided surround side..

Good idea painting the doors black..I would find anything white between seating and screen, very distracting..
What size and type of screen are you using?

Yes you probably are correct on the one sided surround but since I don't sit there I myself don't care about that spot much - hard room to work with.

The screen is DIY 92" Diag. It is painted with a flat gray from behr(Silverscreen).

nice room, where did you get the seats?

How big is the room?

What is the screen made of?

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 12:20 PM**

The seats came from a local guy - he was working on doing a room in his basement and decided against it. I went and checked them out and cleaned them up, painted the base pieces black and installed them.

The room is very oddly shaped - the width of the very front is like 9', the width where the seats are is like 12-13'. The length of the room was like 25' I want to say.

The screen is MDF mounted on the wall, painted with 3 coats of paint, with spray painted 3 1/4" trim.

BEAUTIFUL THEATER!!!!

Only thing left is a little accoustic treatment and that room will be the BOMB.

Here was my rough draft of my room -

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 07:51 PM**

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 07:53 PM**

This is just my opinion, please don't get mad .....

If you can move the surround on the right side (near the poster) at the same level as the front, maybe it will give you a better surround effect ..... I think is to far off the other back sorround.

Yes, I was looking at that as well..
Looking at the plan, it looks like the surrounds need to be moved forward to just behind the front row..That would then get that right surround out of the corner..

Yeah!!!! ... between rows ....on the cealing ????

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 09:09 PM**

Not sure which direction you are going with that - This works best with the odd shaped room I have. I tried many different locations - If I move the rears closer towards the center it just didn't sound right to my ears...

Do you mean like this?

**Prof.** · **03-29-07, 09:31 PM**

Yes..That should work well for the front row..
Are they Di-poles or Bi-poles?

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 09:39 PM**

They are Dipoles - I actually prefer sitting in the second row so that is another reason I probably like the placement.

Aha..That would explain why they sound right for you in their current position..
Even so, I would still try and move them a little forward to get that right speaker out from the corner..
Di-poles should have at least 18" of clear space forward and back, to prevent reflections..

My Tri-poles are just within that limit ,due to an archway just forward of the speakers, and if I move them a little closer to the archway, I don't get a smooth transition of sound from front to the back wall..

**cburbs** · **03-29-07, 09:56 PM**

Well I may have to give that a whirl - it is about 7" away from the corner right now.

**DrPainMD** · **03-29-07, 10:35 PM**

Did you build the equipement rack room, or was it allready there?

**cburbs** · **03-30-07, 06:27 AM**

All walls were already up when we moved in. I left the room as is and worked with it.
