Put a sound bar in that room and use the money save for the man cave. Reactions: rojo, andyblackcat and Ponzio

Say hello to $600 a month electric bills! Solar? Click to expand... I was thinking same thing as well. Look at the headroom that could have extra room built around and above not impossible but there's the cost of building it. Its a nice room to really mess up with speakers.

Get a 200 - 300 watt amp and some efficient speakers and I think it'll be fine. Make it look like an Opera house pretty much!

My wife and I wanted to avoid putting a lot of audio geek gear in our living room, so I took over a bedroom for our home theater. My living room has a merely adequate sound bar. Anything is better than tv built-in speakers. One of these days I might replace it with the Atlantic Technology speaker base after I get some debts paid off. I guess if your wife vetoes acoustic panels, then an area rug, fabric furniture, throw pillows, Pier One Imports type 3d wall art, lamps, house plants, every little bit should help. You probably won't get anything like a sound stage, but at least a speaker bar or speaker base will greatly improve dialogue. Last edited: Apr 11, 2016 Reactions: jcparks
