Waiting on my carpet being fitted next week and should have my seating by the end of the month.
Above screens to try and show image quality but the iPhone camera letting me down.

You should really cover the front wall, side walls and ceiling for at least ~1m with some good black velvet. It makes a gigantic difference to the contrast ratio.
Excuse the instagram filter but you get the idea. Mine's a DIY scope canvas screen, 112".

Rear speakers arrived.
Holes cut in the ceiling.
Grills on looking rather smart
Carpet fitters came and went in the space of about 15 mins, they were VERY impressed with the setup.
Only thing missing now is the seating.
The picture quality and sound is amazing i'm really happy with it. The ceiling speakers i went with being Klipsch also, have pivoting bass driver and tweeter so it gives you a directed sound which is a great improvement over the other ceiling speakers i have in the house.

Nice. Are you going to put in any acoustic treatment for the bare walls/corners etc?

Looks great.
Are you just handy with stuff or are you a joiner by trade or something?

I plan on seeing how the room sounds once the sofa is in there as i've went for fabric which might solve the acoustic issue.
If not then yes i'll be building some panels up with some acoustic foam. The deep carpet has helped a lot with the sound though.
I picked up the skills when i renovated my house, my father used to be in the trade so learnt a lot and built up from there.
Floorplan Click image for larger.
roomplan I'm going to wrap the full front wall with flock when i get round to ordering some hence the bad cutting in on the skirting!

A sofa alone won't do much for reflections and room correction even on good receviers like the Anthems only fix certain things - I'd shoot someone like GIK an email as they'll give you free advice on a potential set up using their products, then you could make your own on the cheap seeing as you have the capability.
Okay so i got my hands on a semi decent camera and took some screen captures.
Oblivion - Re-watched today and has an amazing sound track and image quality is fantastic throughout.
Obligatory Transformers pic but different from the one usually used from the first movie with Megan Fox under the bonnet of the car.
Lucy now, First in the lit room and 2nd without the lights to show the difference in picture quality.

Breaking Bad - Lit at first and dim on the 2nd to show the border's when watching 16:9

Woah, looks great! Do you have a detached house?

Looks epic, but will you be finishing the wall? Looks like you've left an inch above the skirting?

You've done very nicely there! Congratz.
Semi detached and this is on the part wall. This is the reason I filled the back with insulation to dull the sound a bit.
The wall will be papered with flock eventually just waiting to get some ordered to get that done. The black paint is a nightmare and I would suggest anyone thinking about it use something like blackboard paint instead.

I'm impressed!

Awesome. Aeon Nox skin by any chance?
Yeah Aeon Nox 5 with additional artwork for everything (took a while to download it all but looks great!)
Man of Honour
great stuff!
It's all currently located in a cupboard in a different room and distributed throughout the house from there.
I'm debating on moving my HTPC into the room for blu-ray playback but its not a major issue to walk the 10 steps it takes to put a disk in the machine.
I finally got round to wrapping the rest of the wall in flock and my sofa arrived!
