New Media Room


Just putting the finishing touches on this room. This dedicated space was the former top half of my 20' tall family room. The new space is approx 3600 cf and is sealed. I have put in room treatments and it is sounding pretty good.

I'm running Revel speakers, JL subs, Emotiva DMC-1 (Integra 9.8 on order), Sunfire 400/5 amp and Tosh Xa1Moto HD DVR and Pioneer Elite DVD player, Velo SMS-1 . Much tweaking yet to do.

Here are some pics:

Hi Robert and welcome to the Shack!

Wow... that is a mighty fine setup you got yourself there... very nice!

That was a very thoughtful way to make use of the extra space.

Thanks, wish I could take credit but someone else did it first. I did not want to HAVE to light control the room and the Plasma lets me view movies/sports lights on, windows open, or go full force HT with the projector. I know there are much better implemented pure HT's but I prefer this multifunction approach. Now if I was Bill Gates and had a 20K sq ft house, bring on the dedicated IMAX theatre.

Re: New Media Room


Very nice rmk and welcome to the shack...
My only comment is that I think you would get even better results, image wise, with darker walls..Even a darker colour around the front screen would help..

Thanks for the welcome, I have considered this but not being much of a videophile I prefer the trade off of the lighter room vs optimal video quality.

Re: New Media Room


Its a nice clean look. I take it you are more of a audiophile. This room looks like it will handle both very well.

Thanks, guilty as charged. I have spent 90% of the HT equipment cost on audio. Just installed new surround speakers this weekend. After a new SSP, video upgrades will be addressed. That will likely cause me to re-paint the room. This never ends but thats not a bad thing.

Here are a couple of pics of the new surrounds (Revel Embrace).

Nice. How does it sound with the new audio upgrades? I bet you never leave the room.

It is my at home hangout. The new surrounds sound great. I listened to quite a bit of DTS audio yesterday, a football game and a movie last night and have no complaints. Makes me want to add another pair and do 7.1.
