Hi there everyone. A enthusiast in Home Theatre design and construction from AVSforum.com in the USA came up with the following calculator for working out riser height. There are a…

Hi Bel,
How are you? It has been ages and no I have not dropped off the face of this earth! So good to see that the house is coming along…

Hi Rodda,
I do agree with you about the Paradigm speakers. I have heard them and was blown away by their performance (actually heard them in Canada at a friend's place…

Hi there Mike,
In my readings, a number of the theatre builders in the USA are constructing 'hush boxes' around their ceiling mounted projectors in a black acoustically transparent material which…

Hi there,
$1200 founds a bit rich, but I would need to know what you are getting for your money. Obviously you don't need the projector mount, so if the $1200…

Hi there, you should be fine. Despite popular thinking, most damage to speakers is caused by a lack of amp power and not too much. You may need to consider…

Just my two cents, but I agree with the keystoning side of things and the vibration issues associated with speakers in the vicinity of the projector. Most projectors these days…

Hi Danrts,
I think that if you are looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 system, I would be more inclined to go for cabinet speakers rather than in-wall speakers. Don't get…

Hi Donnam,
You are best to get at least two. Reason being is that the internet and entertainment are blending at a very fast rate. Many new TV's even have an…

Hi there Rahadza,
There is a great resource in the USA called AVSforum. You can get there by going to avsforum.com. It's all free and I have found some fantastic advice…

Thanks Ted, I knew that you would chime in with the eloquent and intelligent response!
Cheers and seasons greetings to all.

Hi there Jarrod,
Hi mate. Don't pretend to know everything about soundproofing but I do know that the following is going to work best for you.
(1) Don't worry too much about…

Hi there,
Rodda is right on this one. I think that a DLP projector may be a bit of a squeeze due to their lower flexibility in placement options. I would…

Hi there,
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....It's a duck. Probably a **! Check out the link below…

Hi there Toohey,
Looks like you are going to have a nice space there. 6m x 4 metres is certainly a good space to install a very nice 5.1 or a…

Hi Ted,
Thanks for that. I knew I forgot to mention something. See, I don't waste my time lurking around AVS
Best of luck with…

Hi Bel,
I spoke with our CSM Belinda, who is getting some brick and roof tile options priced up. Actually like the Orpheus bricks which are in the standard Whitsunday range.…

Hi there,
Soundproofing really can become quite expensive depending upon the results required. I will be building a dedicated Home Theatre in our new home and have invested in a double…

Frame is looking great Bel. The big question remains..... do you get that prized water view from the balcony????
Keep up the progress and crack that whip!
Greg

HiYa Bel,
I always was a sucker for a girl with a nice looking frame!
Congratulations. How are WH going now?
Cheers
Greg

Hi Kiwi,
Westminster will be using a private certifier rather than go through Council channels. We are going with complying development which means if Westminster get all of the required info…

Hi there Kiwi,
Yes, that's the one, although there are a number of mods that we have made to the home, the most obvious being the garage moved to the right…

G'Day there Kiwi,
Nice to hear from you! We are still kicking around although have not had a great deal to report. Bali was nice. It was a welcome respite from…

Hi there,
I know it is very tempting to buy on price, but on a consumer durable like a home theatre projector, it is worth putting in a bit of research…

Hey there,
Glad that you got a set up that you are really happy with. Sometimes bargains pop up when you are not really looking. Hope that your system brings you…

Hi there. These guys have been recommended to me before for custom furniture:

They are in Sydney.
The material you use will need to be acoustically transparent if…

Hi Rizzo,
Will try to provide a little extra info for you. Firstly, the lines that you refer to at the side of the picture have nothing to do with whether…

Hi there CD,
Absolutely no problems at all. You may like to check out this link...

Hi there CD/RB,
Well, for $500, it looks like a lot of speaker for the money, but there inlies the rub... it is less than $500 for 5 speakers plus a…

Hi guys,
Just by way of update, I am thinking that this pool is supplied by Tranquility Pools of Belmont NSW (based in Taree). Maybe if I could ask if…
