amazing job! which speakers, amp, projector are you using?
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - k4sh1n - 2016-01-04
A very impressive setup, my only critique would be to get thicker curtains.
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - Skank - 2016-01-04
Aha nice!
Very large room!
I finally can see you in there
Couple of questions/suggestions
-Can you add your complete setup please in your first post? (audio/video/nas etc etc, really complete)
-Curious what you know use for mediaplayer in there (i think Q5, as i do)
-Do you game in there?
-Never thought about going unraid route instead of all those synology's?
- Those statues on the shelves, its nice, but you really should conside statues from hot toys
those are extremely beautiful (but also expensive lol, i just started that too, but its so much nicer)
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - hdmkv - 2016-01-04
@sh33p, thanks much! Updated post above with equipment list.
@k4sh1n, thicker curtains are on my list, along with some kind of a simple masking system for 2.35:1 or wider scope movies.
@Skank, thanks... HiMedia Q5 is my go-to media player, but I also use Pi2 and Shield TV fairly often. I don't game much as I don't have enough time for movies as it is. I did have a XBOX One connected there, and games looked/sounded great, but my kids hogged the room, so it got booted to a secondary room. I've considered unRAID, but honesty wasn't confident I'd be able to set up all the hardware & software at the time (about 3 years ago), so went Synology instead as it's so easy to use.
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - Skank - 2016-01-04
I see..
You should also consider accoustic room treatments like i did
Bass traps and stuff
A curtain already does do much
Especially on your corners and roof... and your walls (first reflection points)

Great job man hd. Question what you think about ceiling being black
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - hdmkv - 2016-01-05
Considering it and also front (screen) wall. Don't know how big an impact this would have?
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - Skank - 2016-01-05
yeah black helps a lot for your contrast
, the darker the better !
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - Borge_30 - 2016-01-05
Wow, what an setup. Fine!
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - Soli - 2016-01-07
Great job. I like the 80s nostalgia look
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - mrfattbill - 2016-01-07
That is a nice looking room, well done.

Thank you ... added & re-did most of the photos above.
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - brazen1 - 2016-01-08
Nice job. Did you consider bass shakers? Highly recommend.
RE: Kodi 3D Home Theater Set-Up - hdmkv - 2016-01-08
My audio knowledge isn't on par with the video side of things. You mean replace my sub w/something like those big SVS cylinder subs?
