I wouldn't worry about the HT room door at all, a cavity slider leaks a lot of sound. I would be happy with it as is.

That's very similar to my HT - 150" AT scope screen. Still deciding the best way to get the speakers raised up off the floor to sit above the fake…

Yes, it is best to keep the tweeters at the same height where possible. Like the images you have seen, having the speakers to the side and centre below is…

Hi Lilac,
Glad I was able to help in a round-about way. And yes, I would have some hesitations on the installer based off what you have said. Just make sure…

Hi Lilac,
Yes, all components will change the sound to some degree, but so will the room. 2 years ago the speakers may have been more expensive, I just searched on…

I certainly don't want to take anything away from what you bought. You went and auditioned and bought what sounded great to you, and that's absolutely the right thing to…

Hi Lilac,
I guess if you gave the speakers to the HT installer he is probably doing the best he can with them, although I'm surprised he suggested having the 3…

I also just wanted to say looking at your blog that your house looks amazing!
To be honest, looking at all your choices and finishes (wow) I'm a little surprised at…

I just noticed all the points at the front of the room in the bulkhead, will you be putting an entertainment unit there? If so I would be looking to…

Hi Lilac,
The in-ceiling speakers you have chosen are not angled, so you need to remember that the sound will be directional into the floor. Personally I would not used ceiling…

I forgot to mention that you will want full light control also, like a big thick curtain over that large window.

Great news!

Sorry it's taken a while, I lost your thread amongst the others.
When you say should you mount it on the long or short wall, it doesn't look like you have…

Need a little more info:
1. How is light control in the room? Are there windows and where are they located?
2. Is it dedicated for movies or will you have regular…

Nice room Bluesuede, I like those colours.

The screen recess should help with light spill a little, but as recommended I would consider painting the ceiling also. It really depends how full-on you want to go. Saying…

I missed where you were building sorry (edit: just saw seaford), but we were told that once the roof goes on, they let it sit on the frame for a…

I was going to say similar to Lucinda. A frame takes about 3 days to put up. I think that's better than sitting in the weather for up to 6…

Looks good. What colour did you pick for splashback?
We have moleskin colour cupbaords (a little darker than yours) and went with a light cream splashback.

If you feel like that already at selections you'll give yourself an ulcer by the time your house is built! There'll be lots of waiting, try and enjoy the process…

Good to hear the walk-through went well. We had ours the other day as well, and found the SS to be quite helpful and on top of things. I think…

How did your PCI go Amy?

What sort of colours did you go for in your kitchen?

That's great, it's exciting when you see it sitting there for install. I see they have almost finished bricking too!
