Eisboch,
Are you available for home theater installations?




Funny you should ask. I really got hung up in this for a while and thought
about starting up a part time business. Then reality and sanity clicked in
and I dropped the idea.

Not trying to impress, but when we had one of the houses in Florida I spent
a winter converting an unused, 2 car garage into a kick-ass theater room.
The basic audio/video equipment included high-end speakers from Aerial
Acoustics, an 18" Velodyne servo sub, Yamaha high power 9.1 amp and Hitachi
video projector, projecting onto a 20' x 9' high gain screen. The ceiling
was flat black, thick black rugs, heavy dark wall drapes with matching
cornice boards all around. The room was acoustically "dead" - almost too
much - no echo at all which gave the sound track from movies an imaging
presence that was unbelievable. We ordered and installed some theater
reclining chairs to finish the room up and track lighting with automatic 60
second dimmers.

All told, the stupid room cost almost $50,000.00 to build. We rarely used
it. Fortunately when we sold the house the buyer wanted everything as is,
so I sold it to him and didn't lose anything.

Oh, I also used component video leads. :-)
