Keeping you happy....Antiques Roadshow... eh!

truthfully when I worked on the specifications and order for this job they told me that the lighting helped eye fatigue. I said I dont care I dont want it.
As you can see, it was installed. Today we unplugged those lights

the screen is up. and for those who know I follow a certain football team....... And yes, adjustments need to be made. The projector was to install today too but there was no lower mount plate - plus the down pole was too long for my taste. tomorrow we adjust for that and then - hopefully - start audio and video
tuning

Surround Master LEDs on steroids.

Hope you use the lights when the screen is off. Go Leafs/Lions look is a winner.
Hip to your trip.

Absolute BS, Ricko. Are they still going to bill you for that install and if so, I wouldn't pay it since you originally nixed it!

IMO, a cheap remedy for eye fatigue:

EYE DROPS!

But what Ricko REALLY needs to fill the vast space on those bare walls is this:

And WE *****. moan and complain about how much we spend on our hobby!

I’ve read that that sort of “backlighting” makes viewing easier on the eyes. My setup doesn’t allow for that, so I haven’t tried it.

It is easy to test this. Watch TV or Films from a Projector on screen in a dark room without any other lighting and then switch some indirect lights on. This is much more comfortable for your eyes.
Because of this I bought my TV from Philips which has a so called "Ambilight" function that illuminates around the TV in various colours or in segmented colours associated with the picture on screen:

Have some people really evolved from Apes ..... $6.2M for a banana secured by duct tape to a wall......

I will happily donate my 1M derivitave buckeye on a wall with gorilla glue for his new space.

Rickie,
I'm more interested in what's under the hood.
Send more pics of the behind the wall.

 

[cbmmm3]

okay Markie - here you go - orientation is from east to west. there's a lot a **** back there

 

[marpow]

Nice that you put wood blocks under especially in the more flimsy garage rack.
The audio rack looks nice and stout.
The madhouse of wiring always blows my mind. I hate to look behind mine.

 

[Marplot]

I am excited as fck to see your project approaching completion. That is going to be a wonderful space to immerse yourself into media and decompress from the world.

 

[cbmmm3]

we fired up the engines yesterday. I installed an exhaust fan to take out the heat. It was still a tad warn in there


lots of tweaking needs to be done - including getting furniture, rugs and ( Lions / UofM ) accessories in there as its a big sound reflective box at the moment

anyone want to venture a guess as to what Atmos disc was first drive ?

 

[marpow]

Deep Purple-Machine Head.
Any Rush but lets guess Moving Pictures.
The Beatles-Abbey Road.

I know it's not Atmos but pop in Metallica's 5.1, always a demo disc for me because of sheer power.

He needs to come clean. He has an extra room for all your brewing equipment. You move in next week.
