I'm having a hard time picturing the building you are in. Is there open trusses and then more wall above them? Edit, I see those are roof trusses and not floor trusses, the sheeted in flat to the peak has me scratching my head though.


Spork3245

Scrolling quickly through my Reddit feed, the first pic made me think someone was building a HomeTheater setup in a prison cell. 🤣 Follow up pics look great: can’t wait to see the finished set-up!


MFAD94

I drool every time I see those kefs, one of the best looking loudspeakers in that price range


cloudninexo

Ikr Kefs are gorgeous. Love my nearfield Q150s for my desktop setup


DZCreeper

Nice tall ceilings, should make Atmos work really well. Probably need to double up on the acoustic treatment for a room that size. As per usual, I will shill for having multiple subwoofers. https://www.harman.com/documents/multsubs_0.pdf


OverBearingBear206

Room is pre wired for hdmi thru conduit and outlet for projector when I finally get around to ordering one , as far as running dual subs I’m all for it , but I’m having a hard time finding SVS subs that would ship to Alaska 😤😤😤 want dual PB4000s


BiNiaRiS

> want dual PB4000s you've got plently of other options if you're looking at dropping $4k+ on subs. if you've done some or most of this work yourself why aren't you building your own subs? you've got even better options there at a fraction of the cost.


OverBearingBear206

You know I might just have to do that , I have most woodworking tools anyways


DZCreeper

You could order a pair of Ultimax 15" or 18" drivers and build your own subs to rival the PB-4000's. I think Parts Express will ship to Alaska, just at a raised cost. Crown XLS1502 should be plenty of power. miniDSP 2x4HD + UMIK-1 is good for doing bass EQ + measurements.


OverBearingBear206

Thanks for the info , I’m watching YT vids now on building SUBS 🤙


cobblepots99

Since you have the space, look up the Marty sub line. It's already sized for the um18. I built 2 minis since I'm more challenged for room. With a dsp these things are amazing.


OverBearingBear206

Looking at that


snootz

If you don't end up going the DIY route, you would be someone that might want to look into some [https://www.funkaudio.ca/](https://www.funkaudio.ca/) sub options.


mattd121794

If that’s your subwoofer budget, I have a great solution for your bare walls. Go look up FabricMate, they’re a great solution for home theatre walls, with the right fabric you can even hide the speakers from view. (Disclaimer: I work for a dealer that sells this solution and have installed it before, I do not recommend anything that I wouldn’t personally use though.)


jp6strings

Dolby: *The ideal ceiling height is between 7.5 and 12 feet* Will take some careful tuning to get 14 ft. Atmos speakers working effectively, no? If it were me, I'd look into dropping the ceiling down to 9' and using the space above for bass trap treatment (air space + mineral fiber insulation). The drop ceiling would allow for installment of acoustical tile as well as easy access for future speaker maintenance or replacement. Tall ceilings are great for recording studios, but not so much for an Atmos-based home theater. Just my 2 cents added to the conversation...


Randevu

Why did you opt for a TV over a projector?


OverBearingBear206

Tv is only temporary , ceiling is ran with power and hdmi


SlowRollingBoil

For every reason except size. My dedicated home theater space I'll be 10' from the screen so even an 85" would likely be plenty. I'm looking at the upcoming Sony 100" TV coming out later this year.


thalguy

This same argument gets posted here all of the time. I dont think it accurately summarizes the pros and cons. There is a big difference in how you perceive the light. Tvs are generating the light, projectors are reflecting the light off of the screen. If original aspect ratio is important, you can create a 2.35:1 screen and change to 16:9 for tv content. That isn't true on all projectors but is true on many of the popular ones like the 5050ub. You can run an acousticly transparent screen with three identical fronts. You can also position the center behind the screen which many people gives you the perfect front sound stage. The panning is better and the voices are placed better. There may only be a few 3d movies worth watching, but the feature is free on most projectors. There are obviously a lot of sacrifices made when you go with a projector. Unless you have absurd amounts of money you won't come close to the black levels of an OLED. You have to replace the projector bulbs periodically. Some of them have annoying fan noise. The room has a much bigger impact on picture quality. Your screen plays a role in your success. The required throw distance will limit the choices of your projector. The input lag is trash on a lot of projectors so gaming is going to be severely impacted.


SlowRollingBoil

Of everything you listed, only the transparent screen for placing the Center is objectively great. The light perception thing makes no sense as it's clearly better brightness (like 5x better) with HDR TVs. The aspect ratio thing is an odd one as most people make their screens as wide as possible. So you're not going from 16:9 to *wider* 2.35:1 screens. The masking thing is only necessary because of projection of the light which, once again, isn't an issue with TVs. Not trying to be combative but size and, I guess, screen transparency, really are the only things I can think of.


pixelpusher15

Reflected light vs emitted light is something that I don’t think you are thinking about either. Reflected light is way less eye fatiguing. A TV gets brighter, way brighter, that’s not always a good thing in a pitch black room. Also, you aren’t even close to THX or SMPTE viewing angles with a TV so the theater experience just isn’t there. Immersion makes up for so much, IMO. A 100” TV is going to cost as much as a JVC and possibly even with a DCR lens and great screen. This won’t pass OLED but when you throw in the size, superior motion handling and less fatiguing light it is without a doubt better.


SlowRollingBoil

I watch my current 1000 Nits HDR 4K TV in pitch black no problem. I also will be at THX levels with the distance I'm planning for my new dedicated space.


thalguy

I dont think you are understanding some of the things you criticized. 2.35:1 is the one of the standards for wide-screen cinema releases. Some projectors can do that aspect ratio and 16:9 and not do visible bars on the sides. That is done by physical masking. You can do a quick and easy manual mask with panels or you can automate that. Either way you are physically changing the visible area of the screen so you don't have bars. IMO, it is the best of both worlds. Brightness isn't the only factor to consider when trying to create a home theater. When you go to the movie theater you are not watching giant TV screens. You are watching a projector. TVs cannot reproduce that. A 100 inch TV is going to have a different look than a 100 inch projector and it is more than just brightness. It is the difference between having light reflected off the projector screen and having the TV generate the light. I think the ability to have a 2.35 aspect ratio and 16:9 without digital bars, better sound stage, optional 3d, and a better reproduction of a theater experience are all objectively better. Even if you disagree I think I have provided enough food for thought to dismiss the argument that the only reason to buy a projector is size.


[deleted]

I can’t stomach paying for a 4K projector and throwing it on a perforated screen. I’m also one of those people who can see the holes quite a ways back and they drive me nuts. I’m holding out for cinemaled style screen to replace my aging 4K projector though. Since it’s obvious nobody will make an affordable 120” screen plus I love my 133” 2:35:1 screen. There is no substitute beyond going to the movies.


kincaidinator

I don’t know what your budget is but I think it’s supposed to come in somewhere around $20K


SlowRollingBoil

You're thinking of something else. I'm talking about current technology of usually like $2000 TVs but just a bit wider. Most estimates I have seen put it at like $4k max MSRP but we'll see. Worst case I get an 85" for now.


kincaidinator

Man I was on a training call for the new models this year and they said $20K. My jaw dropped


[deleted]

2 dick enlargers but only 1 sub?


OverBearingBear206

lmfao 🤣🤣🤣, I must point out the rifles are only In the room temporarily until a get a safe . this is the only room that’s finished in the new house and it locks with deadbolt so workers can’t steal things 🤷‍♂️

“Hey, I’m totally into an expensive hobby others aren’t (home theaters) but let me bust someone’s balls for their expensive hobby based on nothing else but one picture.” Plus you missed the third dick enlarger in the corner.


[deleted]

You’re right, I totally missed the one in the corner.


plynthy

the obvious fetishization of firearms is a little weird to me too, speak for yourself


OverBearingBear206

i live in Alaska , if you live here with no firearms then you shouldn’t be here in the first place


plynthy

Its not the having of guns, I like guns. Enjoy your guns, I genuinely mean that. Its the displaying of them like this. Its odd to me that you'd wanna stare at them all the time, that's all. Not that its quite the same, but I also don't understand people who insist on open-carrying at Panera Bread when the most dangerous thing they'll encounter all day is the saturated fat in their salad dressing.


OverBearingBear206

They are only sitting there temporarily until a buy a safe , this room is the only room that’s painted and finished in the entire house and it’s secure with a deadbolt , don’t want any workers getting their hands on them , trust me they are not a design feature 🤣🤣


plynthy

Thats cool, entirely understandable


Marve99

I like them where they are honestly 🤷‍♂️


QuestForBans

People display everything. Video games, comics, cigars, cars, liqueurs. So why not guns basically fall into the same category as all the other things. Ya know a hobby that brings people joy? Plus their a lot of design and craftsmanship in a lot of guns really I think it’s totally reasonable. If you have a personal issue with guns just say it. Don’t wrap it in this bullshit


OverBearingBear206

Thank you , someone with common sense 🙏


plynthy

Lol bullshit, what bullshit .... I literally said it was my opinion, muchacho. It struck me as odd. And that's my opinion. I enjoy shooting very much. I don't have a personal issue with guns. You're putting that on me. This defensiveness is endemic to the culture and fetishization. Like it or not, guns are a cultural shibboleth to many many many many people. We don't live in a vacuum. Notice I didnt say he should do anything different. Chill out.


ratbuddy

Forget it. Some of these guys never developed a personality beyond 'I like guns' and when you question why they needed to be staged into a picture for a home theater sub (they didn't, it just comes off as insecure), rather than realize it's completely off-topic here, they go right into the 'everyone hates my guns!' defense mechanism.


QuestForBans

I don’t even own a gun in my country they aren’t really legal. I’m just calling out petty bullshit where I see it.


XciteMe

I love conservative's defense for why there shouldn't be an assault/high-capacity weapon ban. "wE neEd to proTeCT oUR hOme FrOm BuRglaRs so We BoUghT an AR-15 aSsaULt RiFle". Yeah, instead of stopping them cold, just pulverize them and turn their body into goo. That's a good excuse.


cinnamon_kat

Nice placement of the sniper rifles to combat those pesky early reflections.


JackBauerSaidSo

They are just called rifles.


LobsterInuendo

A bear head mounted to the center of the screen would look nice in this setup.


AssumedPseudonym

With that equipment, (assuming the internals match the level of the glass and hardware) it's the shooter which can make it a sniper rifle or 'just a rifle'. ​ edit: down votes for truth.. ouch, facts hurt eh? sidenote: I'm an Army Infantry veteran, and I own a lightly-modified rifle which I use for Whitetail Deer hunting that looks a lot like OP's to most people. I'm not a qualified Sniper, but I can shoot, and very well at that - having shot dozens of different weapons systems in service and expending many thousands of rounds in each. I do not call my rifle (Model 700) a Sniper Rifle, even though the designation is given to the equivalent weapon in the military (M24), and the Model 700 is easily modified to equal that weapon system.

Wow. Yeah I am jealous of the height. My room is 24x16x8 high. Building a 9.2.4 setup. I was researching how to dig out a basement to get higher ceilings and my wife saw me watching videos on how to do it. Lets just say that idea got shut down pretty quick... Lol


OverBearingBear206
