I had my cellar converted at the end of 2004 for the purpose of turning it into a Home Cinema Room, see here for details on the conversion.
The room has been finished for a while now and is used a fair bit. The walls are painted in Chocolate Suede and Ivory Suede. This paint does give a plush feel to the room and absorbs a lot of the light reflections from the projector.
The front speakers are M&K MP150's and the rear speakers are M&K K4 tripoles which are wonderful rear speakers imo. These are powered by a Parasound 2205 amp. The processor is an Onkyo 705 receiver and is purely used for premap duties.
The sub is a XXLS-400 and integrates very well with the M&Ks and puts out enough bass for the room. I also have an Anti-mode 8033 to help tame the sub.
I have a Toshiba EP35 for HD-DVD, a BDP-S350 for Blu Ray, and a WDTV for my DVDs which are all stored on a 1TB hard drive uncompressed. I also have an Xbox 360 Elite for gaming.
The screen is a Carada Criterion 2.05 ratio at 81 inches wide by 39.5 inches high. I have masking for the sides to enable it to go to 1.66 and masking for the top enabling it to go to 2.5. Any movie over 2.05 i use the top masking and any move below 2.05 i used the side masking. The masking is made from Devore Velvet and strip magnets enabling it to slide perfectly into place.
The projector is a JVC HD350 and is shelf mounted.
I also have three snap frames containing movie posters, these posters are quick swappable and i have a full set of Star Wars posters. Stephen
