Wow! Very nice!

That is very nice! I took a look at some of the other pictures too. Where is the mountain bike shot at?

Great pics! What type of speakers are you using? I was curious, with those subs when you play the scene in Jurasic Park where the T-Rex steps and you see the water in the glass vibrate - if you really have a glass of water in the room does it vibrate as well?

WOW!! I'm droooling!!

Woah. Impressive room (and equipment)! Somewhat overshadows my cozy little setup . The "house" enclosure on the projector is a fun touch. I'm also curious about the speakers you are using.

Oh, and there are still some pics of charlie's theater rattling around the web...

The mountain bike picture was taken in the Sierra Mountains, outside of Fresno, CA, as was the snow scenes. The others were taken along Route 66, in the Mojave desert.

That "projector house" has a few very practical uses, one being that little annoyance we have here in CA, called earthquakes It also cuts down considerably on the fan noise from the projector.

My main left and right speakers are Altec Lansing "Voice of the Theatre" A7-500s which have been very modified and tweaked. They have a JBL diffraction super tweeter crossed over at 11Khz mounted on top of the midrange horn. The center speaker is the same Altec midrange horn as the left and rights, but with JBL 4412 cabinets on either side, used for their 12" woofers only. The surrounds are JBL 8330s. These are the surrounds used in the majority of cinemas and dubbing stages. The Altecs were designed originally for use behind the screen in cinemas, but I have modified them extensively to tame them and flatten their response. The subwoofers are JBLs. There are two cabinets on each side, back to back in bi-polar connection, with 18" drivers. I just tested them a few days ago, and they were capable of 120+ db at 18Hz. The room takes it very well - I make very liberal use of 'earthquake putty' to keep pictures on the wall, and the pots on their shelves

Charlie:

Very cleaver arrangement! It appears that you would get a very smooth and enveloping sound with your setup. I would imagine you get some bonus sub activity from the walls acting like secondary 'diaphrams"

my mind races....

how much for the 'voice of the theater' logo?

you've said you use 60hz high pass on the mains and the low pass goes to the stereo subs. i think you said you use 120 for the center hp point(?), but what point do you use for the rear surrounds?

i KNEW i'd see open reel tape machines somewhere in those pix.

what about sacd/dvd-a?

i didn't get my invitation yet, but i'll RSVP now anyway!

just way, way, too, too cool as it gets, soundhound!!!
