I was working in a house today where a designated theater was under construction and just about complete. There sitting on a cart was the biggest Runco digital I'd ever seen. There was no model number on it other than a "Video Extreme" logo on it. It was about twenty inches wide, 30 inches long and about 11 inches tall. It had about a 6" dia glass lens. I looked it up on the Runco web site and it appears to be a VX 22I with the Cinewide option ($54,995.00). There was also a designated equipment room with 3 full size (44U) rack enclosures side by side, fully populated. One rack was mainly Crestron gear. The second was mostly Runco and Krell stuff and the third was consumer stuff, BD DVD, comcast and power conditioners (three of each). The Equipment room was not very pretty but it was incomplete so I'd be prejudging it.
The main theater was nearly complete. The workers were putting together what appeared to be a 10-12 foot wide 4 way masking Stewart screen. The house also has a giant Runco Plasma in the living room and 2 smaller Runco plasmas on the first floor. There has to be $150K in Runco equip alone. I would not be surprised if this was not a 350-400K job. Even though it was a digital, that theater gave me wood 
When I got there, the house was wide open and no one was there. Someone could have just walked in and thrown that big Runco DLP on their shoulder and walked away

Yep, kick my butt out.
Curt, you'd have to like this one being a sound man. It appeared to be in a 11.2 configuration with all in-wall speakers for the sides and surrounds with the grills designed to match the look of the sound treatments. The The front L,R and C were recessed with the center behind the screen. All of the sound treatments were installed and the rug was down. It looked as though all that was left to do was hang the projector, screen, clean up and install the seating. Oh and of course tweak.
Anyway, the projector was distinctivly Runco but was the size of a industrial digital.

with a fixed speaker location 11.2 system I'd hope they got it right since you can't move the speaker's to tweak the sound. Whole room EQ maybe?

Annie, these guy's obviously have their $hit together. I wish I had my camera with me. If I get the chance to go back for any reason, I will bring it.
