Installed home theater sights and sounds

Please note the lighing effects.











A good Handyman friend of mine contacted me a few weeks ago. He is from the L.A. Area and wanted to know how many Plasma/Flat screens/HDTV I had in stalled. I told him about ten.

"LOL" He has installed over 500 and this is all he is doing now. WOW.

Apparently on the West coast this is a very hot item. I should have picked this up after the third install but did not give it much thought.

If you really want a great home theatre you have to put some thought into it.
I.E. = Sight/Video. Sound/Acoustics. Lighting/Ambiance. Seating/Comfort
A little planning goes a long way and will put a smile on your face.
I have experience with sound and electrical work. There are thousand of places to pick up home theater and kicken sound systems.

Back in the late seventies I was at a restaurant next door to Italian gardens down town and was reading a menu. I kept hearing a couple talk and it sounded as though they where sitting at my table. To my astoundment I look around to find out who was talking so loud. I had noticed a couple on the other side of the room and could hear every word they spoke over the back ground noise. This completely baffled me (no pun intended). After observing and coming to conclusion. The ceiling had dome skylight and the couple and myself where positioned perfectly. They spoke sound traveled up around the curve of the skylight and back to my ear. Astound


The Bottom line.
The more round you make your room the better the sound. Especially the four corners at ceiling. This is easy to do.

I have always wanted to go and hear a concert at the RLDS temple in Independence.
The auditorium is round and you can hear someone talk on the stage even if you are sitting in the back roe in the nose bleed area.

Suggestion for a great home theatre.
1. Round room
2. Hard surfaces for sound to bounce off.
3. Kicken sound system
4. Eye candy (HDTV/Flat screen/Plasma) Installed at a comfortable eye level.
5. Comfortable Seating (Plush for long seating periods)
