Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Lets plan a theater space

First co-worker over to see the basement and demo. Very exciting to share the experience.

Ok, hot off the digital presses. Sorry for those who have trouble viewing the photos. They are largish format and about 5mb each. Hopefully I can put them up sized the way they are. The pano shots are already downsized to 25% of original.

The colors are pretty close now. They are light level dependant so I'll label them as to the sconce brightness.

Lobby with Equipment Rack cabinet. (Still need a popcorn machine. )


Looking back out to lobby with lights at dimmed 'listen to music' preset level. Pretty accurate to in room feel.



Neat speaker detail shot. Color right on.



The workhorse swiss army knife.


Closeup panel color/texture


Rear shelf color/texture closeup


continued.....

Landscape pano shots stitched from many photos. If geometry seems off, that's why. Forgot to get shots taken of the screen in action with a movie playing. Doh!

Sconces up to full blast. Colors off a bit, but a good representation of bright lights on.



From reverse angle. Sconce lights full on with rear media shelf potlights on.

Last pano. Front to back. Plenty of room for plenty of butts!

What an incredible space! I'm jealous. It really came together.

Your builders.

I'm on the right joined my extremely helpful and patient Father in Law on the left. Now, we look to the horizon for the next project. Adventure and mishaps await! Maybe a photo studio for him.

Cheers all.

Bravo! Nicely done!

Thanks CV and Hangsang!

A trained ear with a music degree and recording experience is coming over tonight for a show. I've asked him to bring some of his bands' material he was involved in recording to critique it. His band won an ecma, so I'm kinda nervous, and excited. He was interested when I mentioned a design goal was an accurate and natural presentation. In theory, the room could be used for a recording studio, so I'll have a lot of questions for him about his experience.

I've tentatively decided on making leanfusers from Arqen to go beside the rear wall media shelf on either side. They seem easy to make and won't be ugly if I make em right. The pub row is almost finished, but I'll hold off on pics till the diffusers are done too.

Anyone make diffusers from Arqen?

Looks like the diffusers are a spring thing now. Might as well share the bar stool row.

Here's how you can cheat a second row if your room isnt quite long enough. The swivel stools are pretty comfy. Not so great for being in the surround field for 5.1 movies though. Never catch me in that row. Back to crappy camera.
