"I Am Gladiator!" Theater


Where is that image coming from???

 

   What do you do when the client says "How hard would it be to turn that room into a Home Theater?"
    The answer is that you say " Not Hard" and get real creative, real fast.
   This room was originally designed to have a Toshiba 65" wide screen television and Miller and Kreisel speakers all built into a custom cabinet. In fact, the cabinet was built and installed but not stained. We had to remove the cabinet (where the screen is now) and build a custom wall to house three California Audio Technology speakers and one subwoofer.
    Over that, we then installed a large perforated screen and a projector built into a "fur down" at the back of the room. To do this we utilized a VX1C from Runco and a Stewart permanent mount THX micro-perf screen.
    We then had the interior designer put in padding on all the walls (except the rear of the room) to deaden the room and install heavy-duty drapes to cover the one-wall windows to the lake. The drapes and material above and below the screen do a nice job of absorbing stray light from the DLP projector and covering up the subwoofer. At the back of the room is a full bar for those hot summer movie nights.
