Wait a minute, the company is located in Mukilteo, WA... Could it be that a Microsoftie is the client? :p

Post by: Ryu on October 25, 2003, 06:55:38 AM: Well, I really like star wars a lot, but even I wouldn\'t do something so insane. Besides, without DVD, the original trilogy is worthless on that TV.

I\'ll be glad to buy my own house, so I can have my dedicated HT.

Post by: THX on October 25, 2003, 10:04:02 AM: Screen is too small for that room, and the audio is bound to suffer due to those wacky acoustics. Looks like it was built more for looks than for function, it\'s cool but I couldn\'t watch my movies from the middle or back seeats!

Well, I don\'t know the details, but it sounds like they thought about acoustics as well (THX stuff and ... uh, yeah. Stuff.).

Post by: Living-In-Clip on October 26, 2003, 08:48:39 AM: The design of it has to many obstructions for the sound to flow evenly

thx doesn\'t mean anything. If the walls are all shapely with high ceilings audio will suffer no matter what. Take the same speakers in that room and put it in a square basement and there will definitely be a difference.

If I had the option to do that mine would be much more elegant.

Wouldn\'t score as many nerd points but I\'d probably live in these rooms anyway. :nerd:

Title: I\'m no Star Wars fan, but...
Post by: Capcom on October 28, 2003, 03:47:09 PM: I would almost debate the high ceilings. I know of a theatre that the ceilings are around 16 foot tall, and it has awesome sound. It is a strange setup, but it sounds damn nice.
Title: I\'m no Star Wars fan, but...
Post by: Living-In-Clip on October 28, 2003, 05:17:51 PM: I picked up a magazine today, and it featured some of the high-end home theatre\'s, one of which costed 10 million alone. It was a re-done basement and the owner spent 10 million dollars to make it top of the line and believe me, it looked it.

I just wish I was rich,so I could splurge 10 million dollars on something like that.

And I gotta agree with Capcom - him and I set up a home theatre for his boss, who had a large square room, with a huge high-rise skylight / ceiling in the middle. The sound was terrific, as the sound would reverb back and forth. I wouldn\'t of figured it would of worked out so well, but it did.
