Theater room build has begun!

[Footloose301]

So I’ve been on the forums awhile and took a vacation from them when I moved into an apartment.... well I just closed on my very first house at the end of October and it’s got a decent sized loft. I believe it’s 14x18 which I intend to close up and it’ll become a home theater. I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything for a year or so.... I made a mistake. I bought the Xbox One X thinking I could flip it and make a profit. It turns out that there are plenty to be had because the demand isn’t great. So that started it. Now that I had my first piece of 4K equipment I obviously needed everything else. Last week a big blue box store had an expired tag on a new Denon AVR-X6400H for $1499 so I couldn’t let the deal slip thru my hands. Then I upgrade my $10 power strip to the Panamax 5400 brand new online for $439. The big blue box store then put up their Black Friday ads online and I had intentions of getting the 65” XBR 900E for $1499 but I knew I wouldn’t be happy and it would only be temporary until the Sony 4K projectors came down in price, so I spent a bit more and got the 75” for $2799 thinking I’ll be satisfied for a couple years. Fingers crossed. I set everything up last night and I couldn’t be happier. Haven’t heard my subwoofer in over 3 years.

I will update this thread with photos when I’m not currently sitting at the bar having a beer on this great Friday afternoon.

Next up is Klipsch speakers at 50% off on Black Friday.

I now have the Klipsch R-28F’s, RP-450C, and SVS PB16-Ultra.

Next up is the construction portion of the theater room and ceiling speakers.

EDIT*** 8/23/18

So the construction has taken longer than expected due to lack of time and laziness, but I put up the metal framed walls about a month ago and last night I finished up hanging the exterior drywall. Now I have to remove the remainder of the drywall from the kneewall and run wire and then insulate the walls.

Also, I bought the AC Infinity Aircom T10 which is worth every penny. I had internal receiver temps around 117 deg and with this cooling component it keeps my Denon's receiver around 80-85deg at all times.

Additionally, yesterday I received my ATMOS speakers. I decided to go with RSL C34E's after a lot of research. They are direct sales only and can't be bought from stores which makes them cheaper but supposedly they're fantastic and rated just as good as speakers 3 times the price. Can't wait to try them.
