Matt, some questions about your home theatre

Casa2 · Dec 14, 2007 7:19 pm

Matt,

I've just taken a look at your blog and your home theatre in particular. You've undoubtedly been asked these questions before and there's probably an answer somewhere in this forum, but I'll ask anyway.

1) What is the size of your home theatre room?
2) If you had a magic wand, what size room would you change it to?
3) What is the size of the rasied floor section at the rear (height and depth)?
4) What is the thing at the rear of the room that looks like a screen?

Cheers,
Casa

Matt,

Took another look at your blog (congratulations on over 10,000 hits!).

Your home theatre looks better the more pictures I see. If your screen wall is 4 meters wide then that would make your screen, if my calculations are correct, 135". That's one large screen.

Is it 135"? Do they come any bigger for domestic use?

Cheers,
Casa

Casa,

Well worked out!

It is 135"!!

The screen size can be made as big as you like. The only sticking point is $$$ generally...

Matt,

I've noticed that you've broken from "conventional wisdom" and do not have an LCD TV as well as the projection system.

Does this mean that the Theatre room is only used for the occasional movies?

I like the idea of using the Theatre room for everyday watching of TV and would be interested in how you've set up your room and what you think. I also like the idea of using just a projection system, but as already mentioned elsewhere, I would have to consider the running costs considering the relatively short life of the projector bulbs and their high cost.

Cheers,
Casa

Nice room and setup Matt.

How do you find the quality of the sound from the front speakers?

Hi Kiwi.

I'll let Matt answer for himself but I need to chuck my own 2 cents worth in here...

I f**king love them! They K.F.A.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Elan MP800W In-wall fronts as well - they are exceptionally nice for In-walls, but Matt's Paradigm Monitor 11 floorstanders are something else again!! (the CC-390 centre ain't half bad either).

Thanks Rodda,

I was concerned with the mains being in the corners and the centre being on the floor the sound would be somewhat muffled.

Certainly looks a nice homely room to sit back and enjoy a few brews, and the odd movie.
