Cayman Islands Theater Includes Real Balcony

[admin]

Electronic House has an article about a pretty cool home theater located in the Cayman Islands. The theater room was built from teh ground up and includes 19 custom-designed theater seats and bar stools in the main seating area and a dozen more in an elegantly styled balcony behind the back row of chairs. Suggested by the homeowners, the balcony was a first for many of the contractors who designed, configured, installed and programmed this one-of-a-kind home cinema. We've seen a lot of rooms, but never one with a real balcony - kudos to the designers and the thought process that went into it. Mobile Technology, an Alpharetta, Ga.–based firm, was hired to program the Crestron system that runs all of the equipment inside the theater and in the main house.

Damn.............got a serious case of Theater Envy now. $250K for the projector is a little silly though. but hey, if you got it flaunt it (or enjoy it)!

I've been wondering how to cram more seating in my HT, which has a 12 foot high ceiling-this is just the ticket.

I like it!

It kind of reminds me of the old "real" theaters prior to the advent of the 16 or 24 screen complexes in malls.

Don't forget the throw distance and screen size of 210" You need some serious lumen output and also, it is a 4k projector.

I didn't see a price tag for the finished project. A couple of mills?

I live in the Cayman Islands and I know I wont see the inside of this monstrocity. But then again , never thought that a home owner would spend $250K on a projector alone. That is the price of an entire house, and a fairly big house at that.

I would truly like to hear how it sounds though but that wont happen

I thought about that too but then you have take into consideration where the picture was taken from and how well you can see once you are seated in the seats close to the rails.

But, the balcony would not be my choice and would ask to come back when the front row center seat is open

I bet a lot of money (but not $250,000) that history is repeating itself; that Meridian is simply rebadging a JVC, but with a big fat markup.

This pic here is almost three years old, the JVC (Japan Victor Company):



This is the Meridian. That's just an anamorphic lens in front, for those who are unfamiliar with the FP world. Yes that piece of glass is probably worth thousands of more dollars than the biggest flat panel you own.
