Welcome back Eric! 

Maybe this will motivate me to get my HT built.

We have gone without since moving last October.

Hey George!  Hope all is well.   Are you still in CT ?

I anticipated my audio/theater being defunct for six months or so after moving... that turned into five years  :duh:

We are just over the Mass. border in New Hampshire.

Hi all,
I will show you my (El cheapo) home theater without a room.
It's temporaly until I go back on planet Vietnam or win the lottery jack pot.
The TV is a colour Panasonic 13'' with built-in VHS player and line audio-video input.
It's supplied - included in the rent of the room.
The DVD player is a Sony purchased from Best Buy Montreal, paid 50 CND$ including taxes.
These days it's difficult to find a DVD player with analog outputs.
I don't use the TV built-in amplifier - speaker, sounds like thin can...
I use my Grace Mondo Internet radio with built-in auxiliary input
and miniature headphone output.
I use my 14 years old Sennheiser HD570 headphones.
Other than the Sony DVD (At 50 CND$ from Best Buy)
and the Panasonic TV (Supplied by the owner of the apartment)
I brought from planet Vietnam the headphones and the Internet radio.
You can't argue with me that my home cinema is an El Cheapo set up
but for now, that's only what my budget permit.
I have about 30+ DVD movies, some of which cannot play
because they are copies from planet Vietnam.
Now, you might think that the sound is terrible, well, I was surprised
by the very, very acceptable sound from that set-up.
Very good bass, none agressive sound.
Of course the image on such a TV is only acceptable and temporely.
But for now, it will do the job, which is to kill time
until I get back from where I came.
A few pictures to complement my writting.

Guy 13

I bought this amp SMSL SA-S3 like 2 years ago and I now just hooked it up. :) Well there was a reason...

Well did a trade recently so now I can do the setup I wanted:
Left Speaker with foam underneath:

Right Speaker with foam underneath:

My computer setup is now finito. :)





Found a nice player today called Music Bee. Works great after I set it up to my liking. The CD playing is one of four that I use to setup any Music/HT EQ. Desktop Background pic is British actress Susan Harrison from the 1950's.

And Finally My Humble Throne:

Minor updates on my end Bob.

Moved the stack of 2 channel gear in between the 2 channel speakers (now Focal) to the media closet at the back of the room.



Treated the room with DIY panels.









Kudos to my wife for approving the funky leopard print for some of the panels.  My kids love them, and that fabric is much better suited to my cats climbing them.

Ceiling still left to address, then I will rerun the AVR room measurements.  Sounds better for 2 channel already.

Assembled my new Bush audio rack this morning.  I love the industrial look.

I figured no one had the gull to try and upstage Guy 13.

Well the subject of the thread is room - of course it depends on the space between and around the speakers :roll:  I am just not a headphone person anyway.  I gave away 3 pairs over the past year (they were just sitting around, including my very old pair of Koss Pro 4AAAs).  I've listened to good and expensive headphones while the sound is nice, it is just not my cup of tea.  I will give him a '10' for creativity though!

ew Building-HT/2 Channel
I sold my grouper boat , and no longer need a place to store it.Therefore , the logical next step, would be , to build a room for HT/Audio .I will post pic's of the process.
After reading about room ratio's for way to long, the dimensions are 20x26x10 .
The construction spec's are a compromise based on budgetary constraints. Thanks to all of you for the advise i get from reading this forum.
Mike was probably the primary reason for this, as the first real system i ever heard was at his place.I was stunned with the sound.
Hopefully, the iron will pass inspection the am, and tomorrow the concrete will flow.
I am trying to find vermiculite in florida ,to insulate and soundproof the block and am finding that anything out of the norm is a problem to find!

Looks like a good start.  Here are some distributors that may have info on local dealers - http://www.poolspanews.com/products/manufacturers?q=vermiculite

Looking good Fex, very cool!  :thumb:
Hey, do me a favor though... Would you be so kind as to start a thread, specifically about your room, please.
With an entire "build thread" of a HT room, you're going to dominate a thread that was intended for rooms that are completed.
Much appreciated Sir, thank you!  :D
