The Good Dedicated Home Theatre
Sumit,
I am impressed with your detailed set up.
The room size is very good for a home theatre.
It is nice that you have done a lot of cost savings by making the sofa's and equipment rack, if you would have had the recliner chairs and the imported av racks, it would have added great power to your theatre.
It is very nice that you have come across the right guy for the acoustic work, and it is double nice that you have done the acoustic treatment, on the other hand i have met the wrong guys for acoustic treatment, like in one case a dealer was saying that he want 20,000 bucks to advice me on the acoustic treatment, finally i had the right guys who took me through with this treatment, the av max guys.
I have come across a number of direct and in-direct professionals where they will talk about acoustic, but they themselves rarely do this treatment, which is a wrong signal somewhere down the line, because when one says acoustic is a important part of a home theatre, it will be important also if one is into only music listening.
I am not able to see the trap boxes, and panels, please consider to show those pictures, I would also like to know in detail as to exactly how these panels and trap boxes were made.
I am surprised how the joints in plywood have surfaced, is it because the quality of wood was not good? It seems the plywood on ceiling was not placed in order that is why it vibrates during high base, generally if something has to vibrate, it could be the things on the ground level, and not on the ceiling level, even if it is to vibrate on cieling level, it should be not more than 5% to what it vibrates on ground level.
I remember the filmi guy, sanjay gupta, the close friend of sanjay dut, in his basement dedicated theatre, some glasses had broken twice, so you can imagine what kind of a set up would he have, or should i say he is having the elephant of low frequencies toward sub woofer or woffers?
I agree with your consideration that you want to use the Armstrong brand acoustic ceiling tiles, the way I have used, indeed it is sad on the ripping of your existing ceiling, but what to do, there is no choice, especially if one wants a nearer experience of a good home theatre on technical factors.
Armstrong, is out with black colour ceiling tiles, which are mainly for the home theatre, with white tiles, when the movie is running via projector you can see the white tiles, with black what happens is that you can not see much of the ceiling, which gets vanished due to black in nature.
About the ripping, which you are talking about, even in my case a lot of money and efforts, etc, went in waste, in my case I would have lost more than one lac rupees, and if I see the in-direct loss of ripping, it could be above 2 lac rupees, so sumit, we have to pay the cost of getting nearer to a good home theatre.
It is the mother of a thing you said that home theatre is importantly about the sound and video, that is why i have done a lot of efforts to achieve on these fronts.
In the pictures I am not able to see any holes in the panels, I have seen pictures of some home theatre, the treatment has been copied exactly the way I have done it, and guess what, the copy factor also did not have the ability of order, the holes are extensively visible, because of choosing the wrong kind of fabric and not to forget about the other errors which could have surfaced, so your acoustic guy had a much better sense, you know people talk about saying un-founded things about certain theatres, while one needs to pause and have a look to what they have made.
My 4 x 3 screen is also as per your screen size, I do not have to roll my screen because once the projector light is off, the screen automatically goes into the ceiling and similarly when the projector light is on, the screen automatically rolls down from the false ceiling, I also had this problem, that the screen will look bad, when it is down, when I am not watching a movie, so I took this advanced screen of auto roll up and down. The picture paste is a very good idea, it is a great suggestion for others who are planning to make a home theatre.
As you are looking forward to buy a 16 x 9 screen, what will you do with your 4 x 3 screen? I know of one member he made the screen himself, he just bought the fabric, and rest he got it assembled.
The idea of elevation of your seating arrangement is a very good one.
At the end, what gives me great joy is that you have a dedicated home theatre, which is any day better then most of the people who make it in their living room, having a dedicated theatre, is a class apart.
On the other hand I have seen some members home theatre photo's in the living room, they have done a neat job, but in my circle of contacts, they have not done a neat job of the home theatre in a living room.
For me the best home theatre which I have seen is of sunil, and now it is yours sumit and that reminds me that i have liked one more dedicated theatre of a member who is based in abroad, but i think he is having a theatre in hyderabad, i may differ with some members on certain things, but at the end of the day, the good what they have, i need to stand up and say, that it is good.
I had the privilege to first know about your dedicated home theatre, and thank you very much for sharing with me first, that you are going to upload the pictures of your theatre, of which you have done yesterday.
I am pleased to inform the members, that there is one more member who has told me that very soon, he is also going to upload the pictures of his home theatre.
Vinay.
