home cinema build

Hi everyone 👋 Thought you’ll all be interested in my home cinema build. The room in the photos was previously built as a swimming pool, but the previous owner filled it in. Luckily for us, the room had to be completely gutted and rebuilt. This gave us a blank canvas to design the room for our...

Input Requested for New HT Build Hi all, Currently in process of designing a new HT from scratch that will be going in under my garage. All walls and ceiling have poured concrete behind them so there will be no natural light and sound insulation should not be an issue. Use will be 50/50 mix...

Hello people, I want to do a 'proper' (if modest) home cinema set up. My room has slightly unusual proportions and SWMBO has some funny ideas about putting the sofa (main listening position) inside a nook in the rear wall... She also insists on small (not cube-like) speakers so I'm basically...

Hi guys, I'm new here, been reading lots of threads in the past and know there's a lot of great guys here and was hoping for some help. I've recently set up a home theatre project, the room is a slightly strange shape. It doubles as a work from home office/VR room as well, so the seating is a...

So I've currently got a stereo set up with a pair of missions, a rotel RA-820ax, and a fiio Q1 from my pc, and I'm planning to gradually move to 7.1. Having done a bit of surface research, I'm assuming if I got a 5.1 receiver (something like a YAMAHA RX-V540) then I could make a 7.1 system. The...

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction in getting all of this set up. I've never really messed with audio, let alone a whole mess of speaker wires. Apparently the last owner of this home was a big A/V guy and installed speakers in the ceilings and walls, as well as...

Hi there! I've recently finished having a dormer loft conversion done on our house, and it's currently an office - but gradually becoming a home cinema (hopefully!) I had *some* foresight with certain things when completing the build, putting a few cables in the walls, some 'nogging' so that I...

Hi all, first, thanks a lot for the ton of great advice I've read on this forum. It's so valuable to hear advice from people who are not trying to sell their products! I'm going all in for my dream home cinema... I've bought a nice 4K projector, and I now need to install a dolby atmos sound...

I posted this in the TV section but it may belong better here. I have an LG Oled B6 (I think, it's a couple of years old). Anyway, I've moved into a new place and have sourced the originally recommended wall bracket (OTW420B). I want to wall mount the TV and I then have Dali Zensor 1's as my...
