Looks great man. What color is on the walls? Is that a V10, or S1, or ???

The color is Pittsburgh Paints "Merlot." The HDTV is the S1 model...I would have loved the V1 model, but I got a great price and couldn't justify $1200 extra for the V1.

Will post more pictures very soon!

Thanks for the info. And many thanks for the photos.

After the TV was installed, I continued working on the rest of the room while I was waiting for the delivery of my Axiom speaker system.



Patching the drywall around the stairs.



New stairs have been finished. The color of the stain matches the TV stand and the Boston Cherry finish of the Axiom speakers



Started making acoustic panels for the walls. Found a really great deal on rigid fiberglass board, so the panels ended up costing only $9 each to make.



Acoustic panel 1X4" frame. Each full panel is 2X4'.



Stretching the fabric over the wood frame



Back of the acoustic panel, filled with fiberglass board.



Two completed panels, installed on the wall. Each panel weighs 14lbs. It is hung from the wall like a picture using two anchored picture hangers, then four small metal clips anchor each panel to the wall. I was afraid that the subwoofer might one day knock a panel from the wall...nothing ruins movie night like having an acoustic panel hit you in the head

Purchased the receiver! Due to budget and advice from JC and Brent at Axiom, I decided to save some money and go with a low-end Denon. It works perfectly for my size room and has all the features that I could ever want...for now



We settled on a very simple seating arrangement in the home theater. These "wave lounger" chairs are super comfortable and can easily be moved around so everyone gets a good view of the screen. They give the home theater a very informal, relaxed feel...which is exactly what we were wanting in this room!



Here is a final picture of the stairwell after all the painting has been completed. All we need now is to install a handrail (that is next week's project!)

Unfortunately, I did not take any more "in progress" pictures. I was putting so much work into installing speakers and calibrating the system that I completely forgot the camera existed!

So, here are the final pictures of the completed home theater!



Had to take another shot so the poor QS4 could get in the picture!

One final shot of the front stage.

That looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your prorgess.

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing. It looks awesome.

What kind of fabric is that again ? Is it acoustic material or just something you picked up from a fabric store ?

Very nice, the panels look like mine.
