Hi
At last, after years of begging the wife and after recently moving house, I now have a space I can use as my own dedicated Home Cinema Room.
As you can see by the photos, the space (one of two converted loft rooms) is basically a blank canvas and needs decorating etc, the dimensions are around 17ft long by around 9ft wide. Its going to be a long project but hopefully worth it in the end. I'm thinking about recreating an old fasioned Cinema in style and adding old 30's 40's film posters on the walls.
One problem I have is that I can't decide whether to go Projector or Plasma/LCD for the display. I am aware Plasma would win for movies over LCD however I have to factor in costs Also having no experience in designing/building a Home Cinema I am not sure whether a projector would be ruled out by not having a flat wall at either end of the room. As for Plasma ideally I would love a Pioneer lx6090 but again the cost is just to steep for me at the minute. I would like to have a big display but still allow for speakers/sub either side of it (the end where the tv stand is, stand used to house my 428xd to give an indication of size)
Basically my budget is around 2.5k and I would need Display, Receiver, Speakers and cables. Any suggestions/comments on placement and equipment welcome.
