Fantastic setup, would you change anything on his kit list?

Simply the best - AVReview Features

[davisneil]

yeah the location. to, say, my house?

[Chadford]

Where's his gaming equipment??? (perhaps he has a similar room just for gaming )

Can't comment on choice of the other kit, but I don't particularly like it as a home cinema. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing piece of work and looks exactly like a mini version of classic cinema.

The emphasis on this project is clearly on 'cinema' and not 'home'. It looks like it seats about 12. I don't think I would want my mates sat two rows behind me when enjoying a film! This sacrifices intamacy for authenticity.

I think the ideal 'home cinema' is just that, the comfort of the sort of stuff you have in your lounge with all the tech to give you that great cinema experience.

Edit: just noticed the picture of his gaming room.

agreed.
It might have an enviable kit list, but as a room in a house it does nothing for me.

Never saw it either, everyone has there own tastes. I would not be complaining though, would you!

[deckingman]

Personally. I'd change the Snell and Wilcox Interpolator.

I wouldn't worry about that, to be that passionate and thorough about your home cinema, you'd have to be one of these people who only have 'cyber friends'

yeah I'd change it to this

[dunks517]

I have seen this before in HCC. We have some family friends that have a billiard room in the house similar tothe one in the pictures. At the moment it looks just like a village hall inside but I secretly covet it and have spoken to the missus that I would move there at the drop of a hat.

We were round there for drinks last Christmas and were told to go up a flight of stairs into the 'middle room' I thought that we were going into a bedroom converted to a sitting room but the potential for the room is vast and this was assessed slighty quicker than my chin hitting the deck.

Get a good job lads, work hard, and one day this will be yours.

[KhalJimbo]

I'd change his Blu Ray player to a Denon A1UD

[CraigofScotland]

I would change his curtains.

[loz]

Showed it my wife and she said

"they are all saddo's and none of them are married, because there's no way a wife would allow that heap of junk!"

Plus

"all that? just to watch Corrie?"

I thinks its an electricity stabilizer, its keeps a constant flow of power with no fluctuations.

[IAN P]

I'd change the speakers to the TAD reference 1's, at a cool 50k per pair.

As seen in the latest Home Cinema Choice.

Beautiful looking speaker and built like a tank.

Maybe its just me, but for some reason I cant imagine that sounding that good, I thinks its go to be too overwhelming.

[digitalera.co.uk]

it didnt look like a room you could relax in while watching the football with a few buddies..

I thought the same, its too grandiose to make you feel comfortable. i'd actually feel reluctant to call over my mates......................worrying the morning after the've left me a 50k clean up bill.

For $6 million dollars it should be..!

[sniffer66]

The setup in the first post has the same HD-DVD player as me

[IronGiant]

$6million doesn't do anything to improve one's judgement then...

[cdm22]

I'd probably go for a bigger screen personally, doesn't seem that big considering.

[KhalJimbo]

I'd also go for an anamorphic curved screen. I like the "Original Cinema" feel that it has though. I wouldnt mind having a room that looks like that, thats a real "home cinema"
