Ceptorman Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Will hopefully with hold the next updates for 1) door 2) carpet 3) towers in room 4) acoustic panels 5) PJ Not in that particular order. Sorry everyone for the many pictures of trim. Lol. I'd like some leaps and bounds here soon. No problem at all, we like pics…..awesome room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercedesBerater Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Been gone for 6-7 months! Enjoying my newborn for a while... but got a little progress in while away from the site. To finish: carpet, acoustic panels, theater chairs, and update the A/V rack equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercedesBerater Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Test run went great. The room sounds amazing even with no carpet or acoustic panels yet! The bass has so much more visceral feel to it versus being upstairs in essentially an open room to the whole house. Surround sound is clearly defined but not so clear that you can isolate a particular speaker around you. It's better than I imagined it would be. And will be even more improved with carpet and acoustic panels later. downside: at some point during my enjoyment my left front subwoofer developed a nasty 60hz hum. Called Klipsch and they're sending me a new one- but they're on backorder. Apparently the new style subs have hum problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercedesBerater Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I should rephrase. The room sounds amazing compared to what I expected it to sound like. It's much improved on their temporary home upstairs.. but still needs some damping to make it truly euphoric. Everyone I've had come over for a "beta test" is blOwn away.

MercedesBerater Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Next up— 1) working on getting more acoustic panels and corner traps. 2) waiting for the Marantz AV7706 to arrive, currently backordered— deposit was placed. 3) waiting for the Monoproce Monolith 9x to come back in stock. 4) been doing Umic tests and once all panels are done & AV7706 is in the rack the subs will be time aligned and calibrated with a Mini-Dsp. 5) dead last thing will be theater seats.

Ceptorman Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Very nice, I liked how you moved the subs to the outside. That is a spectacular room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercedesBerater Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Ceptorman once I did testing with REW I found that 1/3 and 2/3 location was the flattest response (basically straddling the left and right of center) BUT the subs are taller by 2" than the bottom of my screen. So you had these little black blocks in the image. So, instead of getting the best (smoothest) response, I decided to corner load them. It's a bit more "peaky", but I'll be able to trim that down using a MiniDSP later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamidioblitz Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I remember following this build at the start of the project. Lost it track of it since then but I sure have to take of my hat. What a beautiful looking room. It’s all in the details! It just breaths theater on those images[emoji2]! One question though as I haven’t come across the spec list, which projector are you planning to install?
