[QUOTE="Andrew Rogerson, post: 1103618, member: 145065"] Well the selling of the 330i had to be offset by something and this is it, a dedicated cinema room that I'm starting. Hopefully ready to watch within 2-3 weeks and sticking to a pretty tight budget. This is the room that's been converted. It's roughly 10.5ft by 13.5ft, has no windows and is 2 floors from any bedrooms so noise shouldn't be an issue. We moved in around 6 months ago so this is how it was when we arrived. [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom01.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom02.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom03.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom04.jpg[/IMG] I've just bought the projector and ordered the AV equipment but as always I think my ideas are outstripping my budget so something's may have to wait a bit. The first thing to do was to get rid of that god awful brown we inherited! I've settled on 3 colours. 3 of the walls are Dulux 'Urban Obsession' which is like a dark grey. The ceiling is Craig & Rose 'Arabian Red', which should match (roughly) the carpet I've chosen. This is the only in-progress pic I remembered to actually take! [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom05.jpg[/IMG] I did come across a significant budget issue regarding the screen I was wanting to order which has meant a rethink. For now basically I cannot afford one so I've gone down the painted wall route. Some sanding and some 'Warm Pewter' later and this is the projection wall. [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom06.jpg[/IMG] Then onto the ceiling in Arabian Red! [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom07.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom08.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom09.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom10.jpg[/IMG] I'm doing some testing later on tonight with the actual projector. BenQ W1070 - [url]http://www.trustedreviews.com/benq-w1070-review[/url] It's still at the very good price of £437!! Given I have no windows to compete with and it doesn't have to be hidden anywhere etc this seemed a great choice and value! Also got a 5 star bargain in my audio options. Yamaha RXV377 - [url]http://www.whathifi.com/yamaha/rx-v377/review[/url] Q Acoustics 2000i 5.1 Package - [url]http://www.whathifi.com/q-acoustics/2000i-51-pack/review[/url] £650 for both! Got some new toys last night!!!! [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom11.jpg[/IMG] Took a while to do a test setup but well worth it! How'd you like my test projector mount? [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom12.jpg[/IMG] And some test footage shot with my phone camera so not quite the best example, def better in real life! [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom13.jpg[/IMG] Not sure how good this is going to be but did a brief video on the phone as a test. Sound is awesome through these speakers! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mulbywxn5pA"]BenQ W1070 Test Setup - YouTube[/url] More work gone on now! Got Friday as the opening night! [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom15.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom16.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom17.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom18.jpg[/IMG] Everything in wood at the moment will be black. I've bought a load of speaker cloth which will be covering the front panels (detachable) so all you should see is darkness underneath the screen. [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom19.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom21.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk/images/cinema/cinemaroom20.jpg[/IMG] More tonight/tomorrow!
