So this is a work in progress. I still need to build seat risers and install an equipment rack and finalize my surround sound. The back row will also have four seats. I have a leather love seat and an additional one of those reclining theater chairs. This is a 160 inch screen innovations 2:35:1 screen. In 16:9 land this is a 125 inch screen. This is after having been shipped a 160 inch 16:9 screen. I'm really happy with how this ended up so far. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Screen

Tyler Stout Star Wars Variant AP set

Tyler Stout Quentin Tarantino Variant APs

Projector and Chairs

Captain America Winter Soldier. 2:35:1

Avengers 16:9

Awesome setup. Those posters..

FreddieFerric · 08-21-2015, 01:44 AM

Moby Dick would look great on that screen.

RuthlessCynic · 08-21-2015, 02:34 AM

Thanks for all the compliments. I spent thousands on my poster/framing habit over the years. I have about another 4-5 screen prints I plan on putting in the room after I get them framed but want to focus on spending money on home theater equipment first after I bought my new home. I still have to do seat risers and also finalize the speaker set up. I can't decide if Atmos is the best option and what speakers to buy. I don't want to go cheap on them, but with a room of its limited size I don't want to overkill and just burn money either. Any suggestions are welcome.

There's no such thing.

Those posters are amazing.

RuthlessCynic · 08-24-2015, 07:13 PM

Anyone have ideas on displaying blu ray racks/cases? I want something classier than my current set up if possible.

Awesome Theater you have there!!. Some of your posters are on my poster bucket list!!!

Mr.Twinks · 08-27-2015, 04:18 PM

Wow awesome screen and theater!

It must have been a pain in the butt to ship back that 16:9 screen!

RuthlessCynic · 08-27-2015, 07:32 PM

Poster bucket lists are great. I need to get a few more for mine, Moss Star Wars and Horkey ROTK are at the top of mine, but that's going to be hard to swing when I need so much AV equipment. I am debating buying a 160 inch retractable screen put over this one or have it drop down. 125 inches in 16:9 looks small compared to the 160 I had before. Those bastards really ruined it for me for anything in 16:9.

I do prefer the 2:35 as most movies are in that ratio and it is a huge difference. Has anyone ever done that?

Holy cats! Sweet setup. Love the posters.

RuthlessCynic · 11-11-2015, 06:07 PM

It's been too long, but I have an update with pictures coming this weekend. I picked up an AV Rack, Yamaha 3050 Aventage AVR, and a pair of Triton Ones and a Supercenter XXL. The speakers should be here by Fri. maybe even tomorrow and I am beyond excited to hook this up. Will be adding 4 atmos in ceiling speakers and 4 other in the rears and sides to have a a 7.1.4 set up ultimately, but have to save a little more or figure out what I want first.
