Whoah! Looks like you could really spend all day in one of those chairs. They look fantastic.

The place looks great! the Right front seat must be lots of fun with the EP600 right behind it.

I wonder if the new seating has affected the output of the subs, etc. Have you recalibrated/tweaked things yet?

Thanks guys. Jason, I haven't remeasured the subs yet, though I know I need to. It's harder to find a couple of hours to play loud bass curves with the new baby in the house, but I'll get it done eventually, just have to find the right time. (I really am interested to see how much has changed since I've added the riser and all the new furniture).

For now I'm enjoying the comfort of the chairs compared to the 15 year-old recliner I had in the middle of the room before these came in. Once I get over that, I'll get back to my calibration tasks.

I'm sure the new baby would love to hear some bass curves, I suspect it would sound something like a heart beat if done right.

BTW, congratulations...not sure if that was ever said on the new addition to the family, the baby, not the furniture.

Your theater looks great, congrats.

Dear Jason,

I checked in on this thread several times, and half-composed a number of replies.

Having had the good fortune to experience that room in its earlier state, my emotional delight to your recent project is heightened considerably. The chairs look rich and comfortable, the riser construction is clever-as-ever, and the overall effect is really a great example of how wonderful a realistic-sized theatre room can be. I just love the elegant mount of the VP150! We'd REQUIRE a loveseat-thing in such an installation for our family, too. And your projector just rocks.

I just don't see how you could have done it any better.

It was kind and helpful of you to document your construction. Thank You!

Now, can you just sit and enjoy your theatre?

I don't think it would be a hobby if you could just be happy with it.

Tom, thanks for the nice note and compliments. In fact, yes, yesterday I spent hours in the theater watching football and enjoying the heck out of it. My wife graciously allowed me to get my fill of both the new chairs and football yesterday while taking care of the little one.

Last night we got the Husker game on PPV and watched it together until we both fell asleep in the third quarter (at around 9:30). The joys of new parenthood I guess.

It is the first football game I've watched in a long time that was not in HD, and oh my was it painful... maybe another reason why we fell asleep (admittedly, I'm grasping for excuses)

Jason

No, I think you fell asleep because those chairs are WAY too comfortable. It's going to be a continual problem - didn't anyone warn you? Your only solution is to send me those, and replace them with these:

Shawn - I'll monitor the problem carefully and advise after careful research whether your solution is viable.

Thanks for the suggestion and offer to help.
