I am looking at buying an amp to take the workload off my receiver. It runs too warm for my liking and moving to separates in the future anyway. So for the theater I think I would like to run the larger speakers (5) at around 200w into 8 ohms. The remaining 6 at 100w or so. This will be...

I have been working on getting this theater up for a while now so now I am going to show what I have been pestering everyone on this site for. But don't get confused, I will continue to pester!! Theater outline; 135" acoustically transparent Seymour screen 7.4.2 speaker layout - er18 front 3...

I am looking for a 7.2.4 atmos receiver. I would like to have a second zone hdmi and audio output but am not married to it. Has to have pre outs as I will eventually move to separates but cannot afford that at this time. (though I haven't seen a 11 channel receiver without preouts) I am...

Here I am making a more specific request for direction. I am looking for a projector for my theater room. Screen size 132" Throw distance ~13' Ceiling mount The theater has no ambient light. I am planning to go 4k, hopefully native, but can be persuaded. Budget $3k Canadian

Hello All It's been a while since I have been surfing around here but I have been somewhat distracted building a house :D Due to the fact that I am at the point where I need to make decisions for my theater speakers. I need to determine what speakers I am going to have in the ceiling for the...

I brought this up ages ago when I was still in the planning stages but now I am well into it. The image is the current state of the room. The general room size is 28'8"L x 12'1"W x 7'8"H. The plan is to have 7.(x).4 atmos theater in this room. TLS guy mention designing a pair of TL subs for...

I am planning my new HT. The new theater will be acoustically isolated from the rest of the house (concrete bunker style). ~29 x 12.5 x 8 total space to use if I want to use the whole area. I am looking into the possibility of infinite baffle subs. Now this isn't a true infinite baffle...

I am thinking about having a seven er18s for my ht. The difficulty is that my room will be somewhat narrow so i was thinking about adjusting the design to go tight to the wall and have a trapezoid design. I realize that this will compromise sound quality, how much though. I am hoping to keep the...

Hello all. I am planning a renovation of my home that will include a Home theater. The HT will be almost 13 ft wide. My main question is where I should put my rear wall? It will have a 60" set of solid wood french doors. Room features; ~8'6" ceiling height, perhaps a bit less controlled...

I know, wide ranging title, I'm just looking for multiple ideas. When necessary I will split to specific threads. I have been playing around with upgrade options and new project plans. I have been planning for a new diy speaker project but have also considered an equipment upgrade. Option...

I know this might be a somewhat inappropriate placing for this thread but here we go anyway. I am planning on adding a home automation product but I am just looking for a bit of recommendation. Google Home vs. Amazon Echo I am currently leaning toward the echo show for the kitchen and the...

I recently installed a few speakers around the house and running them with chromecasts. To amplify I am using 3 lepai amps and my Emotiva a-100. The lepai amps do quite well for the $13 each I payed for them but compared to the emo..... I liked the budget for my multi room system thus far...

I have been rattling around the idea of pulling off whole home audio for a while but have recently scored a victory with the wife (she enjoyed listening to the master bedroom system and mentioned it might be nice to have elsewhere). I think I should move while I have traction!:D Here are the...

I am looking to enter into a more automated system for my home theater and whole home. To begin I am looking to control my home theater but it will evolve into a whole home control as budget allows. This is not only a personal reason, I have also done a few home theaters in the past couple...

From my signature you can see what I have. The only thing that isn't in there is the fact I do have another Dayton 18" HO waiting for an enclosure but haven't had the time to build the box. :( Yes work and life has been that busy. (3 kids 5 and under!) But since work has also been that busy I...

Hello all, Planning to build a set of speakers for my wife's office. I use the speakers when I am working upstairs so I want speakers I like too. I was thinking Speedsters. They are smallish (my wife would be happy a pair of 'tin-ies') but would be something I wouldn't be ashamed to have in...

Periodically I think of questions that I have difficulty finding direct answers for. I will just post them here; 1. Does the orientation of a port make any difference to the sound of a speaker? example; I have the ER18's, they have a round rear port. If I changed the port (same height...

Does anyone know of any projects using the Seas W?? EX drivers? I think they look so perty! ;) Like the W18EX001.

I am running a cheap light controller (it does this). To use it with the IR repeater I just have the two IR controller inputs taped together with the IR blaster from the repeater. Unfortunately, one side isn't quite as responsive as the other, might have to adjust the tape!!:rolleyes:. I am...

I am looking for ideas for an amp to power my outdoor speakers. I would like something that I can power my 'zone 2' from my receiver and be able to be controlled via wireless device. I have looked at this device. Are there any other options that i should look at before going this route. I am...
