Some screen shots of the actual working stacked system, run at 1080p from BluRay and HD-DVD discs:


And finally, if the seats are comfortable but the movie is boring, it’s nice to be able to sleep in your theater... this is yours truly after 36 hours of working and traveling:


In summary, what makes this HT system special? (in my opinion)

  • identical left-center-right speakers
  • powerful subwoofers
  • acoustically transparent screen of very high quality
  • carpeting that absorbs a lot of the reverberation in the room
  • black velvet over the screen to absorb light reflections
  • Blu Ray and HD DVD running at 1080p
  • gamma correction Moome card, giving enhanced shadow details
  • stacked CRT projectors
  • careful ISF calibration by a calibrator familiar with CRT projectors
  • ideally located surround speakers
  • enough AC circuits to provide enough power for all components
  • vented hush box around projectors providing enough cooling
  • taking the time to do research, to plan the layout and setup of the HT room.
