Very nice setup and very cool thread to follow. It has given me some good ideas. If you’d be kind enough to answer I have a couple of question.
What is your seating distance from screen for both rows and what is the total distance from screen to back of last row?
What kind of seats are those?
At this point is there anything you wish you’d have done differently
Thanks for your time

No problem at all I'm glad this thread has helped given you some ideas and I'm happy to answer questions heck that's how you guys got me started with all your help for me
Okay so distance from screen to front row is 9ft distance from screen to back row is 15ft
I'll need to lookup up the seats again the company was recommended by the vendor and I can't recall right now. They are amazing for the price especially they have a full recline both in neck and with the seat bottom a built in phone charger lights and a pull out tray for eating as well as drink holders and I believe they were 1000 to 1200 a seat a very very good buy for what you get. I'll look up the name for you tommorow
What I'd do differently oh man where to begin
I'd definetly have gone with the more expensive contractor the one guy saved me money but it's like you get what you pay for his crew was so horrible at somethings and very unprofessional
I would have paid for the whole thing I split the cost 50 50 with my pops and that caused issues with decisions I have to make compromises towards the end on speaker size for surrounds blah blah blah etc etc and when we needed to make changes it was a nightmare we just couldn't agree on anything
I would have made sure we had an agreement on how the speaker setup was going to be the layout and everything before we put the plan into motion
I wouldn't have bought a light rejecting screen in a completely light controlled dark room Id have used a white screen with the right gain to make that epson 6050 pop as best as it can on 4k content especially for colors
Don't get me wrong the picture is gorgeous BUT it could be even better
I would have been more aggressive and assertive on what I wanted and not compromised with my family and the vendor the back row is not centered which created havoc with surrounds and overheads you want seating to be symmetrical with the room
Do not use bipolar speakers for an object based format 7.2.4 surround sound system unless you have absolutely no choice
I should have bought more RSL C34e's for the overhead in ceilings I miss those overheads these sound great but the RSL were just as good in my old place for a fraction of the cost.
I'm a tower guy and I should have not compromised and got 7 identical studio 590's for the base 7 there really is nothing like it when your in the sweet spot having 7 identical towers panning and scanning the sound around the room for you
I would have built an acoustically transperent semi wall to cover the 590s and recessed the screen above to just further create that illusion of the sound coming from the screen
I'd have spent less on amps BUT I love the Anthem amps they are very very good and know I can't let them go I love them too much
I like my anthem AVM 60 prepro but I'd have taken my denon 4400H and just used it as a prepro until I buy the one I really want.
I'd already have 4 subs instead of just the 2 I have
I'd plan for surrounds for each row and have set up 3 rows for in ceilings multiple rows just needs better coverage if you want every seat to get perfect immersion unless I went with the 7 towers the 590s put out an amazing broad soundstage and imaging and are very placement friendly and have this uncanny ability to sound good at any volume level and not louder whether close up or far away even at high volumes I'd have split the rows with the 590s and called it a day
That covers a lot off stuff and I hope it helps!
