Hello all.
Starting to get ideas together for my basement theatre. I would like to run a 7.2 system with a projector. Let me begin with the room as it stands now:
I have 3 concrete walls and tile floor. I plan to frame in the walls and insulate. For the floor, my plan is to cut some thick foam padding and get a piece of carpet, wall to wall, which is bound so that I can roll it all up in the event of a storm. I live in Norfolk Virginia which we have a lot of water. Fortunately, I never see any water but in the even of heavy rain or hurricane, I can pull everything off the floor. the ceiling above is just floor joist. I plan to to insulate there as well and would love to hang drywall but I can't. I have a metal beam which is running through the middle of the room that I can't hang anything from. The back wall is where I will also frame in and hang a door to cut off the theatre from the rest of the basement.
Room dimensions are as follows. 19' X 14' depending on suggestions here, ill figure out ceiling height.
My ultimate goal here is to have the acoustics as great as I can.
My gear that I have currently is:
Ascend acoustics CMT-340 mains and center with the CBM 170 surrounds. I also have a maranta sr7007. Although older, I have not found a need to replace it yet. I also have 3 Samson 1800 series pro amps. Do I even need to use these?
any help here or suggestions of gear would be much appreciated. Look forward to discussing with you guys,.
