So we saw a picture of the finished product at the beginning of this episode and we can see one here as well. We'll see several that are very cool. Instead of theater seats, he decided to use this leather couch with a beautiful ottoman. It and this fireplace on the side is really, really cool. I think the next picture is a, is a close up of that. Oh no. There's a shot from behind the couch. We can see the screen with a picture on it. It's a transparent, acoustically transparent screen that lets the sound comes through the screen, which most home theaters have since quite some time ago. I wanted to mention that the on the far wall there, you can see the acoustic panels that Jeremy built. Each one consists of what's called roxul mineral wool and it's wrapped in vintage wedding saris, which are long pieces of fabrics, fabric that wrap around the body to form a dress. It's very common in India. The frames are made from picture frames and I think he did a fantastic job there. Now we go to the next picture. We can see the fireplace and I'll mention that a local company in Portland made the Moroccan tiles around the fireplace and Jeremy laid them himself. He did an awful lot of this work by himself, which is a wonderful thing. I love it when home theaters are mostly diy. In the next picture we can see this what's called a Chesterfield couch made by a company called Roger and Chris. It had to be constructed in two pieces to fit down the stairs to the basement. Also the There are three doors into this room which are visible in this shot, but they're difficult to see when closed. All three are 1.5 inch solid core exterior doors with full gasketing around around them. So there ain't no sound getting out of this nor any coming in from the outside. It's. It's beautifully isolated. The next graphic will we can see the screen a little better. It's acoustically transparent as I said before. The material is called Center Stage XD from a company called Seymour AV. It measures 125 inches wide with a 2.35 to 1 aspect ratio which is what what you want if you're watching mostly movies. Now since this was in 2018 the JVC DLA RS45 projector was not 4k. I imagine Jeremy has upgraded it since then to something 4k. Probably a JVC as well. Which in my opinion is the best home theater projector you by I mentioned the front, left and right and center speakers a little while ago. They're Martin Logan Aras ones. The right and left ones are and the center is a Martin Logan Quest. The surrounds are monoprice amber in walls and the overheads are monoprice caliber in ceilings. The whole system is 7.2.4. So seven speakers around the listening area, two subwoofers and four overhead in the ceiling. The surround processor is a Marantz AV7702 mark 2. At least it was when this article was written. I imagine that he probably has upgraded the processor since then. The main speakers are probably didn't upgrade the amps. You don't really need to. Amps are amps and they work. If they work well then they're going to keep working well. They're powered by the speakers are powered by amps from Parasound, Rotel and Adcom and the subwoofers are powered by specialty amps from Behringer. They're called Inuke and they power the subwoofers with a lot of power. Now here's something interesting. The only source device that Jeremy was using in 2018 was a DIY home theater PC, a computer dedicated to to running to showing content running Windows 10. The CPU was an i3 he had 16 gigabytes of RAM, 4 TB hard drive for movies, a 256 gigabyte solid state drive for music and photos, and a separate 120 gigabyte SSD for Windows 10. Now, those specs sound pretty wimpy today, and I'm sure he's upgraded it significantly since then. Probably a whole new computer, but I just thought that was pretty, pretty funny. 2018 is now, what, seven years ago? Which in computer years is many lifetimes. Now, Jeremy figures He spent about $80,000 altogether, which includes about 55,000 on the contractor who built the Shell, relocated the H vac heating, ventilating ventilation and air conditioning system, and built a new laundry area outside the theater, which has nothing to do with the theater. That leaves about 25,000 for everything else. He said it's hard to put a number on this since there were a million trips to Home Depot for small items. Yeah, I know that story all too well myself. But you know, $25,000 to, to fill a home theater like that is not bad, even seven years ago. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed seeing it. It's, it's a really fun, a really cool home theater that, that I really enjoyed and I hope you did too. So if you have a question for me, as always, love to hear from you, give me a shout.
