Hey @busdriver13 thanks for the info and offer. I'm a bit behind in an update so this was a nice prompt. He actually did end up getting the Denon and SVS ultra towers / center for front sound stage with a single sb-3000 sub for now. He broke the budget a bit and got a pair of SVS ultra nanos as...

Super!

Movies and sports primarily ... Streaming and cable provider. Music on Spotify or vinyl.

Hi, I've got a friend who is looking to replace a cheap home theater setup in a small end of his basement (about 11x18). He wants to spend about $4-5k. He would rather buy fewer, quality components initially and add to it over time. I think he's interested in a 5.1.2 setup. My thoughts were...

Hmmm. This is really interesting. I'm just a consumer, but they never got back on any of my inquiries. Their lack of follow through on the plans they communicated last year is pretty disappointing and doesn't give me a lot of faith in them as a company. Does make me wonder if there's some...

ummmmmm yeahhh!!!!

There are 2 louvered doors leading to the HVAC. Based on this discussion, I'm considering putting solid doors on them instead because the unfinished HVAC area connects via a bulkhead to another set of louvered doors along the hallway. Will need to do some research to make sure that would provide...

Yes it does, thanks! And btw, I would love to do the kind of physical isolation of the room you've done. Next house! :cool:

OK, I'm getting more help than I expected (and it's appreciated). 🙏 @ddude003 The tape does sounds like a practical solution to provide repeatable room correction. 👍 @DonH57 Wasn't going to ask folks to review that level of detail, but since you asked....😁, see attached drawing (1 block = 1...

Yeah, will look into the folding options as I can see that that would give the most predictable and stable room correction. You had previously suggested a permanent wall w/ a door, but again, when I have people over, they often sit at the bar or play pinball and still want to be able to watch...

Thanks @ddude003 . I was thinking 8, but good to know that I should go even thicker. @Todd Anderson Yes I was thinking about the impact to room correction. Maybe I need to research if I can actually make a folding wall that applies a lot of the same concepts. Assume a lot of the same principles...

@Todd Anderson , yup. Do you think that could be a good solution?

I've setup my home theater in one end of a very long and narrow rectangle space in my basement - for simplicity, think 12'x40' ish. I have a ton of panels in the space between my seats and the screen including walls and ceilings which was a HUGE improvement. But, hearing ambient noise from HVAC...

Thanks for the replies and links so far. I use a relatively new windows laptop.

Due to some shifting around of some of my current AV equipment inventory in my home, I ended up with an "extra" receiver and decided I'd like a simple 2 channel setup in my home office to enjoy some music between conference calls. I wasn't really interested in spending more than about $200-300...
