Canada Cam's Home Theater

Well...this is it. It took over a year to get all the EQ together. I'm wishing now I had before and after pics. My basement turned home theater has gone through quite the transformation. I was running an old school 57" CRT until last month when I upgraded to this front projection system. LOVE IT!! Of course, that prompted the paint job

Equipment:
Projector: Epson Home Cinema 6500UB
Screen: 120" GrandView Tab-Tension Motorized Screen
Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-94THX
Fronts: Paradigm Monitor 11 v5
Center: Paradigm Monitor CC-390 v5
Surrounds: Paradigm Monitor ADP-390 v6
Players: PS3 (soon to be Slim); Sony BDP-S300

Be gentle

Nice everything! Love your choice of speakers, and that picture from your projector looks bright and tight! I'm in the market soon to get a front projector ( a more budget conscience one than you have) and I'm not sure about pull down or motorized screens....the price difference is rather large. But seeing your set-up makes me wonder if a motorized one is worth it. Nice job!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

When I first started looking at motorized screens (Da-lite, Stewart), I was quoted some pretty huge amounts. I just about gave up when I came across GrandView. I love this screen...well worth the cost increase and well below these other brands. I leave it down most of the time right now. That'll of course change once I get a plasma for that wall.

Need new blinds too, but that's a different story.

Did you purchase the screen direct or from a website? I want to look into one over a pull down. And I plan as you to have a TV behind the screen for everyday viewing.......

Online/phone order direct from GrandView. It was a blind buy that thankfully turned out great. I thought it was worth the $1300 (CDN) gamble.

Was the HSU sub hard to get in your area?

Ridiculously easy, actually. All you need to do is toss them an e-mail with your mailing address and they'll reply with total cost (including tax, duty, brokerage, and whatever else we get charged for).

Was shipped via Fedex, got here in less than a week, and didn't cost a penny more when it was delivered.
