Welcome To Our Home Theater! Thanks For Visiting!
This is our Home Theater/Living Room Area. We live in a town home apartment complex so we had to do with what space we have. We're proud of what we did though. The key was to make the area look cool like a home theater but also compromise with my wife in making it a living room area also. It's the first thing you see when you open the door so we had to make an impression.
Our Modest Movie Collection and the Outlaw LFM-1 Plus Subwoofer.
This is what you see head on when you walk through the front door. Decorating is a big part of our home. There was a lot of compromising between the wife and I of what we could decorate our space with, but I think in the end we balanced it out pretty well. You can see the new Outlaw LFM-1 Plus subwoofer at the far end of the couch. That baby pumps out some serious LFE!!
A Chair All To Your Self? I Don't Think So.....
Over time we've added more movie memorabilia to the decor. Fortunately my wife has gotten more into the hobby with me. So not only am I collecting, she is also. It's helped out a lot when I want to add a piece to the decor. You can see the Right Polk speaker and our brand chair and a half. My wife finally got rid of the papasan chair. I can't blame her though. The new chair and a half is really comfortable. You can also see our cool swag lamp hanging from the ceiling and some of our decor.
A shot from directly behind the couch of the front stage. The monitor is the Pioneer KRP-500M. Unbelievable TV! Speakers are Polk Audio Monitor 60's on the left and right and the CS2 for our center channel. I made the center speaker riser which I talk about more a little later. On the left of the center speaker is the XBOX 360 S with the Kinect sitting on top of the tv. On the right is the Now Showing DVD marquee. On the second shelf starting from the left is the Oppo 83 Blu-ray player and on the right is the Comcast HD DVR. To the far right is the cradle for our Harmony 720 remote. Having one remote to control everything is awesome. On the third shelf, on the left is the APC H15 Power Conditioner which I must say did wonders for our equipment and saved us from brown outs and power loss 4 times in the first day!!!! On the right is probably my favorite piece of equipment, besides the TV of course. The Marantz SR5003. It has such a smooth sound and really has changed our Home Theater experience. We really had no idea what our Polks could do until we got this receiver. The newest edition we did was putting shelves on either side of the Kuro to hold some of out Steelbook and Ironpack collection. I'm wanting them to hold only the Disney classics that are released. But for now I'm displaying other Disney steels - ironpacks as well.
A closer side view of the front stage from the chair and a half.
Ready To Watch a Movie....
This is a shot of what you would see walking into our living room at night while watching the latest flick on our Pioneer Kuro Plasma. It's an awesome tv! It's displaying the Disney Logo TRON style.
Is It The End Or The Beginning Of The Movie?
Rise Center Speaker, Rise!!!!
This is a close up of the center speaker riser I made. I used the largest couplings I could find and glued them to railing toppers. I spray painted them with a matte brown then used pieces of arts and crafts foam board, the soft kind not the stiff kind, and added them to the top and bottom to decrease vibration. I'm very pleased with them.
I Am The Beast, Hear Me Roar!!!
The Marantz SR5003 in all it's glory. It's a totally different world when you finally hear clear HD audio.
Big Brother? I Am The Big Brother.
Oppo BDP-83 Blu-pray player. It's a thing of beauty. We never knew how good our Pioneer Kuro could look until we got this thing. It replace our Panasonic BDP-55 which eventually stopped reading most our blu-ray's after a year and a half. We had problems with the machine a couple of months after we got it. Sent it in for repairs and exactly a year later started doing the same thing. Sent it in to square Trade got a refund for it and bought the Oppo 83. It's really fast and easy to use. I use source direct to the Kuro and the Kuro does all the processing. What a beautiful picture it produces.
Protection Is The key.
APC H15 Power conditioner. Made a huge difference with the picture on our tv. I know that sounds crazy but even my wife noticed the difference. Living in a townhouse apartment complex there are power surges and brownouts all the time. This has kept our equipment safe.
Shot of new rug and you can see the sub is now over by the couch. After discussing it with Big Daddy I did the subwoofer crawl and found the near the couch in that spot was the best placement for the subwoofer. I had it facing the opposite wall at first but after testing it found that there was a much better bass response having it pointing towards the wall where the tv is. I also added coupling with padding added to both end that act as risers which raise the subwoofer off the ground a few inches. I'll make a real riser when I get a new sub.
If the neighbors aren't calling you, it's not doing it's job.
The Sub! The Outlaw Audio LFM-1 Plus. I'm still breaking it in and haven't had a chance to really push it. But so far it sounds fantastic. Also I built the riser underneath.
Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for looking!
Here is the Movie Book that I put together that is a collection of all of our movies and each of the genres they fit into. It's an easier way for someone to decide what movie they want to watch without have to go through all of our collection.

I'll start painting probably next week and we're supposed to be headed to IKEA in Atlanta to pick up two Besta's to hold them in. We have to go order are new seating for it to. That should be in in about a month or so. I'll at least be able to get stuff set up and on the wall so when the seating comes in will be good to go. I want to, at some point, do the fiber optic star lighting in the ceiling. I've always wanted that.
