Picture this

Hi everyone. One of the things about a home blog, is that once you've moved into the house, the number of blog entries slows down. One reason is that you are reluctant to publish lots of photos of the inside of the house as it's become very personal once you have moved in.

This entry is a little unusual then, as we are showing some picture of our home theatre, because we are finally finished with the furniture and setup. Do we use this room? You bet!

Posters were a birthday present for Bernadette

Ok, the screen still needs to be tightened a little to remove the wrinkles

A reminder of the layout. The first photo looks as though the furniture is on one side of the room. Check the "Rumpus" in the plan above and you can see where the screen is positioned.

We chose a number of the components for various reasons - we were after a clean look to the room (no big floor standing speakers), and we wanted the electronics to be hidden away.

The speakers produce an amazing sound experience for their size,
So, for those who may be interested:

Projector: Epson TW3000, from a department store (discounted)
Screen: 94" from Selby Acoustics
AV Receiver: Yamaha RX-V661 from a department store (discounted - lots!)
Blu-ray player: Samsung BD-P1500 (bought new in box from a friend who already had one, and got a free one with a TV deal)
HDMI and Speaker Cabling: Academy TV, Newcomb (Geelong)
Speakers: Difinitive Technology ProCinema 60 (from the same place as the Yamaha, and discounted)
Home Theatre recliners: Furniture Galore (yep, and so far we are very happy with the quality)
Posters: A couple bought online, but most from Minotaur in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne
Cabinets: Modular cabinets from Ikea. There are drawers behind 2 of the doors to store discs.
