    Considering Paint vs Silver Ticket or Carl's Place DIY 1.3 Gain Materials

    Don't mean to repeat the same question others have asked, but my conditions are a little different, so I'll try to make this quick: The screen size I will build will be 162" long and 76" high. (The projector is an Epson LS12000, which at 2700 lumens is bright...but looking for boosting the...

    Which Speakers Should I Buy?

    Hi there, I've been shopping for speakers for a HT setup I'm putting together. I'm about to buy a Denon X3800H as AVR and am looking for LCR speakers first. After that I was going to settle for cheaper surrounds (sides and rears) and then 4 height speakers for Atmos (which I'll need an...

    Which 1.3 Gain Projector Screen Material Should I Buy?

    I'm about to buy projector screen material for our new HT setup. I'm still deciding on the exact screen size, but it will likely be between 165" - 175" 2.40:1 aspect ratio...and I'll be building the screen frame myself. I'm looking for 1.3 gain material...and not acoustically transparent. I'm...

    Which AVR Should I Buy?

    I'm about to buy my first AVR and I thought I'd ask your counsel before making a final decision. I'll be setting up a 7.1(or2).4 Atmos system. I am leaning towards buying used. I don't mind a 9 channel system with 2 extra outs to be powered externally...coupled with a ($100'ish) cheap 2 channel...

    CIH vs CIW | Zoom Lens & AR

    Just when I think I finally understand about screen sizes, aspect ratios, CIH and motorized lenses...boom, I get knocked over again! Have I taken everything into consideration before buying my first projector? I have a wall that is 16.25' wide and 8' high. I want to use "as much of this wall as...

    Multiple (Stacked) Projectors vs Anamorphic Lens and/or Video Processor (MADvr)

    Recently while attending a convention, I asked the video technician who was running a massive projector setup in a huge room with several thousand people how he got such a great picture in a bright room. He explained that he was using 2 identical projectors (Sony's) stacked. There were 2 reasons...

    9 Channel AVR + Amplifier vs 11 Channel AVR

    I plan on setting up 11 channels of audio (LCR, SL/SR, RSL/RSR, Height 1/2, Height 3/4) in our home theater. My question is: What makes more sense, buying a 9 channel AVR with 11 channels of processing (like the Pioneer VSX-LX505)...and purchasing an additional amp to power the remaining 2...

    Which Projector Should I Get?

    I’d really appreciate some counsel on projectors. I’m looking to turn the majority of our far living room wall into a projector screen. The more I think about it—and the longer I sit in the space we have to work with—the more it makes sense that the starting point for this project should be to...

    2 Receivers or 1...for Atmos

    Hi there, I’m new’ish to the more advanced side of home theater setups and in particular, to Atmos…but I’m in the process of buying new hardware and I have some questions which I hope are not too long or cumbersome! 2 CHEAP (old) AVRs vs 1 EXPENSIVE ONE? For the budget-minded, rather than...
