Ozzie’s Home Theater

June 252010

Finally finished building my home theater! It took longer than I thought but was well worth it. This is an 110″ screen with a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. I am using a JVC RS2 HD Projector with B&W speakers, Lexicon Pre-amp and Bryston amps. I added the riser in the second row for stadium seating. This room brings many hours of enjoyment. I know that when I was building my Home Theater I looked for as many others that I could find for ideas. So, I am adding this one to the collection to help anybody else who wants to build one.
