Will the deal be shared once someone here gets it? Sure hope I didn't move away too soon to get a great deal!

My 2 cents, without choosing in walls or free standing speakers is that is a difficult room to work with - meaning balancing the sliding doors, furniture, the kitchen, and probably a bit of WAF too boot. My guess is there will have to be a compromise on what can be done. I have a similar situation where the living room and kitchen roll from one spot to the other. Big screen tv and Cornwalls is what I've chosen (2 channel) because putting 5.1 or more isn't feasible. Good luck with your project! Everyone loves a good project.

My kids will enjoy the room too...but it's mine first!! Hahaha. I'm waiting for new titles to be released too. Seems like it's been slow going. Would be interesting to see more concerts released too.

I grabbed Gravity, MI rogue nation, and Roger Waters the wall for inaugural plays at the ne dog February when my room is done. 7.2.4 goodness.

My wife will kill me if I have another set of speakers in the house. I'd have to move my Cornwalls. I've never heard scalas and I do like a good project.... Luckily too far away to even contemplate.

Matt - just checked out your post. I really don't think you will like the finished product. I'll <begrudgingly> take em off your hands... Great job they look awesome! Edited: there was supposed to be a big smiley face emoticon in there somewhere!

The cornwalls are in my living room and not part of this room. The bids are for a couple reasons-a comprehensive list of materials and options across several price points. Also to see what cost for a finished product. I built custom homes for seven years at the end of high school thru college so drywall, electricity, painting , etc isn't difficult. Patience and time to make this NOT be a year long project are the main drivers.

What I'm hoping is that corns get swapped out for khorns down the road. Baby steps!

Youth-no negativity at all. I look to some of the more experienced people here as a fountain of knowledge and respect opinions and the paths you all have taken. No false wall situation. The theatre room was an addition and shares 2 common walls including the one with the screen with the existing house. most likely scenario is a shared 2x4 wall with existing structure. The rom itself seems solidly built. There is no Echo and the height with 2 platforms for 2 levels of seating is still over 7 feet so I think atmos will be ok.

I realize this is a Klipsch forum and I have zero vested interest in saying this, if anything the opposite, but to be honest, Wisdom Audio in general is known among those in the know as about the least fatiguing speaker company out there. I'm not talking about what random forum members recommend, I'm talking rock stars of the industry such as Chris Seymour. Frequency response isn't what you're paying for. To be honest, those are their cheap speakers. I wouldn't brush them off, even the expensive ones aren't going to have measurements that are going to justify the price. Try to listen to them if at all possible. I heard them and they sounded fine. The price seemed high. I've heard lots of positives of B&W too. Slightly less price wise and I heard them too.

Her reasoning is that the room will feel tight with seating and then surrounds and front speakers all over the place. I wouldn't disagree in principle but I wouldn't care. I agree with in-wall...it's work to swap out speakers with drywall and possible re wiring. Especially since the room requires a rewire anyway for 7 speakers.i really think she likes the idea of the speakers just blending in behind the screen and grilles being painted wall color. She pointed that out a few times while we were looking.

Youth - I already knew about too much for a room! This is my chance to get the theatre up and running while my wife goes another year without a new car so her opinion is weighing heavy in this move. I love your scalas for the LCR! I can only imagine what you get to listen to all the time. I think I can overcome a bit of the in-wall vs standard cabinet with 7.2.4 and a pretty dead sounding room. That said the equipment and install time/$ make me want to be sure of options and decisions.

I moved in July and have been fixing a bunch of stuff around the house til now. So my wife and I have begun looking into getting the theatre room done. The room is approximately 11 feet wide by 19 feet deep. There is nothing left from the previous owner equipment wise and it's been confirmed that the screen that was left is nothing more than a cheap fabric-no surprise considering... First post will focus on speakers. So I've received a bid (actually several from a local AV shop here) and we saw their showroom. My wife is sold on in-wall speakers behind the screen and surrounds in the walls and ceiling. So this system will be atmos ready upon completion. The problem that I have is that the speakers that are included in the bid are either Wisdom audio P4i and P2i in the top package and some combination of B&W in all other bids. While I heard both, the biggest issue I have is price. I did a little checking at the respective websites and the specs don't seem in line with cost. I've been looking at the THx2 in-walls. For those that have or have heard, what is your impression? Is it too much speaker for a space like mine? Suggestions for the 7 channels - like 7800 S THX for LCR...and ? For surrounds? Is there a specific in-ceiling that mates with THX in walls? I'm sure there are more questions since I'm just starting. Thanks in advance!

One reason why I love wood grain versus black speakers but that is VERY unique. The look would certainly over power any other decor in the room. Would like to see them in my room though!

As a bBig 10 fan and Packer fan( remember he had a few good years there) I don't think Woodson's play can be overstated. I don't like Michigan, but he was the man. He also was the last cog in any respectable packers defense. Was glad when he moved on from college and when he joined the NFL team I root for.

I've purchased from this seller on ebay several times. I bought my walnut veneer that went to refurbish my Cornwalls and it was great. I believe others have used this seller too. If you plan on doing the veneering yourself... http://www.ebay.com/usr/jsowoodproducts

Hot fuzz is a 5 star? I should re watch to see about this!

Or Family Guy Blue Harvest. Better than the other FG Star Wars tributes. Red 3 standing by. Red 6 standing by. Red 5 standing by. Red Buttons standing by. Redd Foxx standing by. Big red standing by. Red October standing by. Helen Reddy standing by. Simply Red standing by.

Check out Hardware Wars on YouTube. Ham Salad. Darph Nader. Good stuff.

Wow khorn $6k a piece. Should have purchased when they were $9k a pair!

Like Jim, I've purchased all my veneer from JSO off eBay.. My walnut used on my corns was very figured and awesome to work with. It was backed which I would prefer, but I believe they sell some unbacked items too. And they have 4x10 and 4x12 rolls as well.

FedEx delivery day!! Unfortunately I am busy for the next few weeks so it will be a bit before I can listen to the new network.

Color is one thing, grain is another. Walnut veneer might be a good way to go. That way you get both color and possibly a little grain match.

Jim I did walnut veneer on my cornwalls with contact cement. You need a veneer scraper not a j roller. I did 2 coats of of contact cement letting it dry In between coats. I used a hand held router with flush trim bit and a razor knife to trim edges . You might be able to search my posts and see what I did. I recently moved from jersey otherwise I would have offered to help! Ryan

No not my birth year. A little older than that. Just the number of my favorite football player growing up - Sterling Sharpe #84
