Speedball Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Very cool.......! Nice to see somebody with a normal sized house instead of a multimillion dollar mega buck mansion.....[] Love that floor. http://www.audiovideointeriors.com/readerqa/0606diy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just curious...how many hours of planning went into your setup? I've heard mention that your room is very small, but none of the pics make it seem that way...great optomization of space. Congrats on making the big magazines. So when you gonna start dragging your room around to all the audio shows? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I've heard mention that your room is very small, but none of the pics make it seem that way...great optomization of space. Very tight with a ±10' x 12' main HT area... check out the dimensions on http://home.comcast.net/~smallhousetheater/images/theater_layout.jpg . It is easy to plan a large no-holds-barred HT, but their's must have been like planning a RV interior where every last inch has purpose. IMHO, it only makes Glen's transformation even more impressive. [] ROb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Fish: Thank you for the thought, sir. But, any kid in school with the name "picky"? Ee-e-s-s-s-h! I shutter to think of the beatings they'll endure! gonzp: Patrick, you are always the gentleman, sir. Hopefully, we will have that toast in person someday soon! Maybe at the next AK Fest if your attend? I will go this time! I really missed-out. Speedball: Your thoughts are exactly what provoked me to approach their magazine in the first place: Enough of the 10,000 square foot homes with the Bazillion-dollar-CEDIA-professional installs! What about the working guy who lives in a real house and isn't afraid to swing a hammer himself? To their credit, they jumped all over my challenge, and the rest is now history. DrWho: Rob (formica) and I have been comparing each other's notes for a long time as we have both now "survived" the experience of gutting our small basements in the quest of cinemagraphic perfection. I think Rob's reply post to your question stands by itself: It really was a lot like designing the interior of an RV! (Great analogy, Rob!) The entire room is only 10-1/2' wide and there is just 12 feet of space from the screen wall to the front face of our bar counter. Our 3 theater seats back up to this face. From the screen wall to the wall the equipment is mounted in is 19 feet. Rob, thanks for linking to my diagram. It pretty much tells the whole story! As Rob knows, if you explore all of the pages, there really is a lot of info on my website. I hope to be adding a lot more to the "Theater Construction" section. I have lots more pictures and information to incorporate in hopes of helping other budding home theater-builders. formica: Rob, thanks for knowing me so well! I expect to see your beautiful place in a magazine soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelman Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Congrats Picky. BEAUTIFULL room! I have been living under a rock lately I need to come back here more. I need that mag now unfortunately we don't have that around my area. I was actually looking for one the other day. It must of been a premonition.

picky Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 wheelman: Yeah, I haven't see you around much lately. Thanks, man. If you are going to buy the mag, that issue will probably only be on the shelves a couple more days. I was supposed to receive a whole stack of them from the publisher to hand out, but they never showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
