[Marplot]

Just bring music to jam too ...

Well Folks. It was a dream for many many years. And on March 18 of this year - at the urging of @marpow Markie, he convinced me to document the progress of Dream into Reality . And 70 pages later, here we are. We digressed, we laughed, we debated. And we ( or I ) had fun. And I worked my arse off on this project as there was a house that was built next to the barn. Its done. Almost. Still need a few drywall repairs. Still need paint touch up. Still need some audio tweaks ( another set of sound anchors, etc ). The AV team was here again today and got this sucker DIALED In. I thought I had a nice system at my last house. What they did today is jaw dropping. The clean precise sound coming from where it was produced to be is wonderful. And the video ??? I went from a 2000 vintage projector to a 2024 Sony Projector. Here is - pretty much - the final product. Thanks guys and gals

That door on the left looks suspiciously like it should be labeled 'Marplot's'

Of course, by this time next year, I suspect there will be a handful or tweaks you would like to make.

My project didn’t include building a whole new structure to house it, so it’s only on it’s second page (that, and I basically redid the thread fron AVS forum after the fact). But it’s still a live project, hopefully with significant updates in the next few weeks.

The job looks amazing, the gear is to drool over, and I’m green with envy.

Really nice.

Fantastic job, Ricky!

Regarding replacing that old couch...beware high-back couches and chairs as they can interfere with those floor-standing rear speakers.

What is that wall treatment hanging above the media racks?
