This is the cellar in our wonderful house. It was very badly tanked so after the 3rd time that heavy rain caused impromptu paddling pools to form we bit the bullet and invested in a very expensive, but incredibly worthwhile non-permeable membrane that allowed us to install what we've always desired, a home cinema. The work took ages, partly because of Covid preventing our wonderful builder from accessing the building for months. But it's been in place for a few months now and has withstood torrential rain and is just wonderful. We have an Optoma UHD51 projector beaming onto a 91 inch Spitfire fixed screen. A Denon 3700 amp controls the A/V and there is a 5.1.4 speaker setup with Q Acoustic Concept fronts, center and rears, Q Acoustic ceiling speakers for Atmos and a Klipsch subwoofer. The range of AV kit looks like cable hell, but it's hidden behind the sliding doors. The only "in hindsight" change I would make would be to use darker paint, we thought we would use the room for other reasons, but it's clear it will only ever be a cinema. But that's relatively easy to sort.
Here's a sequence of photos showing all of the stages. I'm happy to answer any questions but can't promise to be able to answer them all!
