So RETRO! Re: $10,000 too much to spend on Home Cinema equipment? 33Feb 09, 2010 4:09 pm I was planning on budgeting $20,000 for our home theatre setup when we build... so I don't think it's too much After 2 false starts, a year living overseas, two more world trips and 3 years of uncertainty we are now starting the build process again - hopefully for real this time! Re: $10,000 too much to spend on Home Cinema equipment? 34Feb 09, 2010 5:25 pm I have an old boxy TV I got from a friend a few years ago when they set up their home theatre. I didn't have a DVD player until a few days ago, when another friend gave me his old one for free. It looks pretty sitting there but it doesn't work, I think because the TV is too old. I also got given a set top box but I can't plug that in either (I couldn't have plugged them in at the same time anyway as there's only one set of "plugs"). I've actually been pretty happy with my TV as the screen is heaps bigger than the really old, tiny one I had. It's still only about 46cm though. When I first got it I sat on the couch and I thought it was too oversized for the room Oh, and speakers - what's wrong with the ones stuck on the front of the TV? My "theatre room" cost me $0 I'm going to have to get a digital tv soon, and should probably also get a dvd player at least. My friends will then at least think I'm approaching normal. It's still going in the family room though, where I can see it while I cook dinner! I'm actually building a house with a theatre room. My plan is that if I meet someone who has the means and motivation to create one, and he moves in with me (poor bugger!), then I'll probably have a rather lovely home theatre someday! I enjoy reading all about your theatre rooms though. You're welcome to invite me over for popcorn and a movie. I may spend it crushed into the back of the seat thinking that things are jumping out at me due to the massive screen, but I'll enjoy myself terribly! My tac-home-ter: Been in 8 months! Re: $10,000 too much to spend on Home Cinema equipment? 35Mar 01, 2010 7:30 pm i have spent the following to do my first home theatre (4m x 5m): $4500 - Denon AVR 2310 + Monitor Audio Bronze Reference 5.1 speakers + cables $3100 - Sanyo z700 projector + 120inch fixed frame screen $300 - Sony S560 BD player $1500 - heavy blockout curtains $300 - labour cost for pre wiring $550 - TV unit the result is like that( i know the front speakers are too close to side wall, they have been re-positioned and re-Audesseyed): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ although the system is very entry level , i am loving it so much. so my experience is , as long as it does not affect your financial and family harmony, it is worth to spend a reasonable amount of money to suit your life style. i know a lot of people in HK spend far much more money for AV equip and put them all in a 2.5m x 3m family room with no soundproofing, very lucky here for those having a designated room to do all this by the way , this is the next thing i will buy: http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 5190b9465e so you never need to worry about the zoning of you BD or DVD Re: $10,000 too much to spend on Home Cinema equipment? 36Mar 01, 2010 8:02 pm room looks fantastic... you did a great job.. just shows what you can achieve for a great price...
