So this is my basement home theater that I set up when we moved back from overseas. Its a bit dated now in the hardware department, but I plan to do some upgrades.
Since I originally installed this, I updated the house with a lot of home automation, including Hue bulbs in the Front of House light bar, and some barn doors installed on the instruments to keep light overspray on the screen. The Hue bulbs work great with my upstairs Kodi install, but are extremely buggy when I try to use cinema experience in the theater. Admittedly, I do not have the latest Kodi install on the laptop.
The gear:
Elite Screen 120 inch
1080p projector 3D
Yamaha 7.1 receiver with 1080p pass through
PS3
Toshiba laptop running XBMC, Kodi was buggy for me.
Bose speakers all around with 3 bose subs (AM-7 front and 2 AM-5s for side surround and back surround)
JL 12" LFE sub
18 TB media server running FREENAS
