I recently downsized from 110" projector to 77" oled. But gained 7.2.4 in the process. A suitable compromise given that I sit a little closer now anyway and can now watch stuff during the day without being in a blackout room (which is what I used to have).

Kind of pissed though at some led strip I put behind my flat screen that started to fail within a week. Guess I need to try a different brand.

Very nice! Now get some real speakers

Ha! I was waiting for that! I did the receiver/speaker thing for many years…no more.

Even a nice 2.1 setup with something like a Sonos amp will blow the sound bar out of the water. Just something to think about!

Have fun and enjoy

Dude you gotta get some real speakers and a subwoofer even if you just do 2.1.

In reply to RoyVal A thick pad under your rug would probably be a nice upgrade. It'd feel better and help to absorb some slap echo.

Or you could do like me and go a little crazy...

Wow, a "little crazy"? LOL!

Out of curiosity, what all do you have in that setup (speakers AND electronics)?

The absorbers are all DIY with 4" rock wool and covered in Guilford of Maine fabric. The colored squares thing on the back wall is also an absorber.

In reply to javajaws Sounds like one Helluva setup. Did you put all that together as far as designing the system, matching up the components, etc?

These UST projectors are really pretty amazing!

In reply to RoyVal What brand UST Projector?

Yeah, all hand picked by me. This was also sort of a refactor of my setup(s). I used to have a separate 5.1 system with some old M&K speakers and a separate 2.1 system for just music. I wanted to combine those two to be the best of both in one system so that guided my decisions at a high level. I generally use avsforum and audiosciencereview to research equipment and stuff.

Very nice Roy! Enjoy, and congrats on re-claiming part of your house!!!

I use Vandersteen 2CE sigs as my mains for my HT. They do ok for music.

anybody have any good home theater seat recommendations?

I've had these on my list for some time but haven't pulled the trigger.

I have 5 chairs from Seatcraft that have held up well and weren't ridiculously expensive

I would love to buy an ALR screen but can't justify the cost.

OP, how much did you pay for your screen if you don't mind sharing?

While on the subject, I have a Polk Audio CS400i center speaker that I'm hoping to sell.

In reply to Nixter Do it!

Here's my Valencia's shipped from Canada.

I've looked at those, but I think I found a less expensive option: https://www.afw.com/marcus-charcoal-gray-p2-power-reclining-chair
