I tried to make an album for photos in the gallery but couldn't figure it out. Do I have to have more posts to do so?

 

[ALMFamily]

That is an amazing looking theater - nicely done! :TT

And, to be able to posts link, use the gallery, etc you need to have at least 5 posts. You can use the post padding thread here to get to 5 posts.

 

[akto]

Aha, so that goes for the gallery as well!

Thank you

 

[MrACE]

Amazing

 

[akto]

Thanks MrAce

Hello all y'all!

You must be from "south" Norway.

Great looking theater! I know you are proud of it and enjoy it very much.

 

[akto]

Haha, no - just been watching too many movies

Anyway, thanks mate (there, some Aussie style too)

 

[Prof.]

A very unique looking theatre..Very well done! :T

 

[JBrax]

That's a cool home theater. How much time went into it and did you do everything yourself?

 

[Zizik]

I love your taste, great speakers!

 

[Albertan]

Great looking room Atle. Clean design and solid components. Very nicely done. :T

Thanks! I did most of it myself but got some help with digging and to glue fabric in the roof. Exept that I did the rest. I belive I used somehow like 300-400 hours from start to now.

If you want to see the pictures from the construction process you can find them here: http://www.facebook.com/ThePurpleTheater

(Moderators: If such links are prohibited please let me know. There are just to many picures to upload ...)

Thanks! Those speakers are really mindblowing, they works with everything I throw at them

[TypeA]

Very nice indeed :TT

I noticed in your pics that you're playing "The Art of Flight." Amazing demo material that if you don't own then you need to.

 

[akto]

Thanks guys!

Regarding The Art of Flight you are absolutely right, it's not only stunning demo material it's also a great movie, regardless if you like snowboard or not - the nature is just incredible! And it's not often you find documentarys that delivers this kind of picture and sound It's simpely a movie EVERY home theaters owners should have!

Nice Setup.

 

[JimP]

Beautifully done.

When I first read the title of the thread about a purple theater, I thought that it had to be awful.

Just the opposite. It's one of the nicest ones I've seen in quite a while.

Well done photography too.
