All good choices...
I'd also include Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition on the list. Really good reference quality DVD in every respect. |

Hooper, you should have just bought my house. I spent $100k+ on a home theatre, but I am too lazy to walk upstairs much!

Hiya Hooper, congrats on the home theater...
![]() You know, as much as I am not a Tom Cruise fan, Top Gun would be a great movie for a nice home theater... Surround sound would rock during the flight scenes, and hell, Kelly McGillis would look pretty good on a 100" screen as well. heh Good luck with it!

I don't even have a wall a 100in TV would fit on!
And we'd have to sit outside in the yard to watch it to be far enough away to get the "full effect, lol!

Sony Receiver???
Their projectors and ES DVD players are good but as far as sound goes, do your HT justice and try Meridian, Lexicon or Audionet :-) Last edited by Timon at Jul 28 2003, 10:32 PM |

I have SONY ES in my house, can not complain. Keeps things simple, to have everything Sony. Mistake I made was trying to take an odd shape room, with high ceiling, and bad acoustics, and turn it into a theatre. My next house will have a room built from scratch for a theatre, also more centrally located.
Hooper, make sure you get a nice color touch screen remote with macros. That will really impress the chicks!

How do you spend $100k on a home theater with such cheap equipment and no accoustical room correction treatment?

Independance Day is an absolute blast in good surround - evn if it offends everyone outside the US
T2, 5th Element, and the Matrix are also good. I would not survive without the home theater |

Heat - the bank robbery scene Desperados - barfight massacre Pearl Harbor - you know what scene

Gladiator & Pearl Harbor.. definitely on the list.
I must confess though.. matrix was a bit of a disappointment, not as much of a visual delight as I remembered it from the theater days.. great story, good action though. I did watch a fantastic movie this morning though... Monsters Inc... and Toy Story & Toy Story 2 are gonna run this eve. There is something to be said for film that is 100% digital to start with

4 chairs for $25k. You would have to sleep in them to understand.

In my world, chairs aren't for sleeping in. I'm quite happy sitting in my $1000 chairs and sleeping on my $1000 mattress.
For $25K, I could buy a few acres of property up here that would double in value within 24 months. I like appreciation, not depreciation.

Wizard of Oz movie playing with Dark Side of the Moon soundtrack.
I took the liberty of getting a link for the uninitiated. Follow these instructions. It helps if you're high but not necessary.

And here I thought the $2500-3000 a unit stuff I've been looking at and drooling over were over priced. For the units I've seen, it's not just comfort but construction. You can have two full grown Georgia white boys in side by side units connected by wedge and one can recline back and forth like a spastic 4 year old without spilling the drink that is sitting on the wedge on top of the arm rest instead of in the drink holder. It's THAT stable. My lazy ass side also likes the wedges that open up to built in refrigeration units so you dont have to get up to go get another tasty adult beverage. |

Do not have any recent pics of my theatre, these are from when it was still being finished out. Will try to snap some new ones.
You can see 3 of the chairs, now there are 4. They are fully motorized and imported from Italy. Very oversized, a 400lb man could get comfy in one. I have a photo somewhere of KC sleeping in one. Also, built in a kitchenette in the closet up there. But that was before I had ShawCutie to fetch me drinks while watching football. ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking of couches, this is the most comfy sleeper couch you can find. No metal in it at all, folds into a king size bed. Grimm said it was best night sleep he ever had!
