JoshH Posted February 1, 2024 Author Posted February 1, 2024 There is a lot of ventilation at the rear you cant see. That said, the entire front joinery is getting re-done later this year and equipment racks are being installed.
JoshH Posted November 13, 2024 Author Posted November 13, 2024 Big update.. it's taken many months, but the new custom cabinetry at the front is now finished to house the 2.7metre wide screen. All the equipment is now in roll out racks in the joinery behind a removable kicker. Lots more drawer storage for DVD's as well. All the work was done by Temple Cabinets - superb job and could not be happier. One thing I decided to do was to make the doors over the equipment out of speaker cloth so the remotes would work without the doors open and because I dont want to get a control system. In the images you can see the lights on the gear - but I have now set the equipment front panel displays to off. Quick summary of current equipment as so much as changed since this journey began: Projector: Barco Bragi CinemaScope 5K Projector (this is the best projector I have ever owned - its incredible). Screen: Severtson SAT 4k Acoustically transparent 2.39:1 2.7 metre wide screen Video Processing: Lumagen Radiance Pro - Calibrated by Tony O'brien Surround Processor: Storm Audio ISP Core 16 Immersive Sound Procesor Amplification: 2 x Cary Audio Cinema 5 Power Amplifiers 3 x M&K MP300 THX Ultra II LCR Speakers 2 x M&K S300 THX Ultra II Tripole Surround Speakers 4 x Triad In-Ceiling Silver Monitor ATMOS Speakers 1 x M&K X15+ THX Dominus Subwoofer 1 x M&K X12 THX Ultra II Subwoofer 1 x Panasonic UDP9000 4K UHD DVD Player 1 x Oppo Blue Ray Player 1 x Apple TV 4k 1 x ISOTek Aquarius Power conditioner Cables by AudioQuest There are a lot of acoustic treatments in the room including 4 Bass traps, diffusion, absorption etc. Next month the Projector is going into a custom made hush box. Just waiting on the cabinet maker to finish building and come and install. Then will do a final audio calibration to finish it off. I will be done for a while after that... 3
Kaynin Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 (edited) Yeah control systems are awesome - when they work! KISS is my philosophy with this stuff. "Lots more drawer storage for DVD's" - dude, you need to discover the Bluray. It's going to blow your mind... I thought the Carey amps were gone? What happened to the Storm? Great to see you have dual subs running. Just the best investment I made was moving to dual subs and pro calibration - wow! Of course mine are 18" each... EDIT: oops, better throw in one of these Love the recessed screen, I'm jealous, that would really make the image pop. Let me know when it's movie night, I'll bring the beer. Lol. In all seriousness, congrats on an awesome set-up, it's a ripper. Edited November 13, 2024 by Kaynin

Ahhh, I see. Storm's in the distance, on the horizon, so to speak. Problem is, when you have an itch, you have to scratch it and can't rest until you do. That's the problem with this hobby, you rarely sit still. 1
