Kuyper's Home Theater

Built in the basement of my Seattle Home, this home theater room was about 4 years in the dreaming/planning until we finally got it together to remodel our basement.

The room needed to be widened by about 2 feet, but once the contractors had left, all I had was a bare room. I'd done all the wiring before the drywall went up, but it still took us a while after.

The 'screen' end of the room needed acoustic and light treatment; the equipment was not hooked up until all the work (paint, trim etc) was completed otherwise we'd never have finished.

Equipment List:

Projector: Panasonic AE700-U 1280x720 pixel

Screen: Carada 92 inch 16x9

Speakers: B&W 600 series 2/3

DVD Player: Denon 2910 SACD/DVD-A

Amp: Rotel RSX 1067

HiDef Cable: Motorola DCT6412 (hate this device, but it's all I can use for now)

We use this room on a very regular basis and I no longer go to movie theaters at all. Between NetFlix and Amazon.com there's nothing I don't end up seeing within a few months of general release.
