I'd like to know what everyone has for HT.
-----------
Here's my set up.
That is my HT set up. 117 inch diagonal screen. Projector is a Sony HS10. Sound system is 7.2.
Had to turn the lights on slightly so you could fully see how big this 117 inch diagonal screen is.
Resolution is 1366 x 780.
Speakers in the front are DIY with VIFA speakers. We built our own surround DIY speakers and woofers. The woofers(not pictured) are 15 inch Adire Tempest, of which we built two...powered by a 1500 watt Samson amp.
I should take a picture of the speakers and woofers up close. The woofers double as coffee tables. They are veneered and poly urethaned. They look better than my hard wood floors.
The only speakers we didn't buy were the side and rear channel which we bought from Wharfedale. The rest of the 7.2 system is home built. We're thinking of replacing the Wharfedales with DIY speakers too.
The wires and pulleys raise and lower the masking(I think that's the term they use for the border). We raise/lower it depending on the movie. Some 16:9(HDTV) isn't full screen on our 117 incher. Others are...just depends on the movie.
When we get unlazy, we'll make a mechanized version. This one is operated by hand.
EDIT: If you're wondering what's on the screen, it was a thread on the hardforum. ...some guy was boasting that he bought a 42 inch plasma. Pictured is his 17 inch LCD next to his widescreen 42. I said I could beat that(yes, I am gloating too).
