Avsfan - love that you used some actual color in your HT instead of just black.  Looks brilliant!

Thank you very much. I LOVE my electric blue ZU's. And I painted the outside of the tray ceiling to match them. I am getting a gloss white center and trying to see if RSL will do some gloss white subs. But yeah, wanted some color and finishes to make the room pop but not be distracting while watching movies. It really popped when I had a big Ferarri gloss red ZU Definition center channel. It looked great!

That is VERY cool, thank you for posting!

Two channel is still very important to me, so I prefer a pure two channel system that's fed by my HT, rather than just using the HT Front L+R for my 2-channel listening.
Maybe I'm crazy, but that's how I roll...

Audio Sources are a Linn LP12 that feeds an Audio Alchemy VITB, and a Sony CDP-xa20es.
Those feed an Audio Alchemy DLC with the PS Three power supply upgrade.
The DLC feeds an Audio Alchemy Overture OM-150 with the PS 150-M Upgrade.
And that feeds Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 speakers.

Video sources are Oppo BDP-83 and a Roku Streaming Stick +.
Those feed an Emotiva UMC-200.
The front out of the UMC-200 feed the DLC, the side and rear surround outs each feed an Audio Alchemy Overture OM-150.
For side and back surrounds I have Sapphire Audio Sat 1000s.
Rear surrounds are Anthony Gallo Strada Signatures.
The Sub-woofer out of the UMC-200 feeds a Dayton Audio SA-1000, which I have feeding the second VC in the Gallo Reference woofers.

Video is projected onto a 110" gray canvas screen by a BenQ HT2050A.

Power for everything but the PJ goes through a Belkin Pure AV-60, connected to a dedicated 20amp circuit.

I'm confused. You said Video is projected onto a 110" gray canvas screen by a BenQ HT2050A.

But that screen appears to block the L/R speakers in the picture. Did you mean "transparent" screen?

[Barry_NJ]

The screen is canvas, and only in front of the speakers for movies, for 2-channel listening the screen is up against the ceiling.
Also, the high frequencies get a bump from the EQ in the pre-pro for movies, and I don't feel it impacts the sound greatly.

These were from a few months ago, when the room was still more of a work in progress...

Come on folks... I can't believe it's been THIS long since someone had some worthy HT photos.
So, whatcha got? Show me the HT porn.

Barry - nice set-up

[mcallister]

Some pics of my dedicated, soundproof room. At almost a year to the day I finished the room a pipe break in kitchen destroyed the ceiling. Pain to redo (double drywall with green glue, clip and channel). But back up and running, did a few upgrades while under construction and the room sounds amazing right now.

[Phil A]

Really nice!

[stlrman]

McCalister,  great room!!

LCR are Powered Danley SH-100B’s

Side and back surrounds powered Danley SH-100’s

7 in ceiling DIYsoundgroup Volt 10’s (6 for atmos, 1 above main seat for Auro Voice of God channel)

Subs are-
4 Danley DTS-10’s
2 GSG Devastators loaded with eminence 6021-6’s

BOSS platform for front row seating

I like a lot of bass ha, I can tailor it however I want as I have gobs of headroom. Use 2 minidsp-HD’s for the subs

[mcallister]

Forgot screen is 150” 2.35

I love it because I can change aspect ratios on the fly

[Big Red Machine]

Very nice.

How wide is your room? I'm throwing together a small HT in a 12x30 room over the garage and am struggling with how to get the side surrounds in and Atmos in w/o impeding access to the 3-wide seating rows. I'm not keen on in-wall speakers - haven't had much positive results with them and I have plenty of box speakers to chose form in packing from the move last year.

[mcallister]

Room is 14’ x 23.4’

I am still very happy with my Triad InWall Surround (Atmos ceiling mounted) and OnWall Surround speakers. The sound fills my 14' x 17' room and the speakers never call attention to themselves. The Anthem Room Correction, ARC Genesis, nicely evens out each speaker's response. Older Triad speakers used different drivers than the new models and ARC adjusts them to sound similar. New Triad's are expensive ($550 each) but right now there are 7 on eBay, $175 each is a fair price, anything less is a great deal. I have the 6 Bronze/4 Surrounds (4 mounted in ceiling, 2 on back wall). The Silver and Gold can go louder (plus cost more) and are for bigger rooms but I have never maxed out or stressed the less expensive Bronze series.

Early Triad Surrounds were Left and Right because they were configured as Di-poles, new Triad's are Bi-poles. Left and Right are easily converted to bi-poles by reversing the polarity on the rear facing driver, the tweeter and front facing driver are in phase. Woofer and tweeter speaker phase can be easily checked using smart phone apps for either Android or Apple:
