nice set up though.

but you might try something a little more..... theather like than those (jbls?) try to set your speaker without some much toe in. you'll just screw up the imaging like that. and you should look into the "infocus" projectors if you like the quality of this one.

all in all. looks good man. gj.

Nice place, all I need is a projector, but I'm still waiting to find a deal, dont feel like dishing out 2 grand on a thing that will get used every once in a while.

Floors look great, but I've always been a carpet man my self. Like the whole floor covered and soft.

They look fine to me, speaker position is not that much of an issue with flat front ends, its only when a speaker uses a horn design projection that its vital to set them just right.

Mine is work in progress as well...I almost ordered the BenQ myself as I heard they were one of the best but at the last minute changed to an Infocus screenplay 5700...I am very pleased with it but cant say if it is better or worse than the BenQ cause I never got to see the BenQ working...my guess is there isnt much in it either way.

Very nice. Can you hook PS2 and a PC to a projector? Sorry to be noobish... guess I need to read some tech-mags to catch up.

When I saw the pics I thought it was jabba's house... because of the big video screen.

Still the style is different, but both nice!! I want a cinema room like that in my future house.

The furniture looks good to, congrats!!
