My custom home theater project has been on for a while now.  Yesterday the ole city inspector stopped by and gave me a green sticker on the rough-in of the room.  I live in a code compliant community which means if I ever want to sell this place I actually need to follow the rules as far as permits and Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code and such.  Now I just need to finish fishing some wire-conduit and insulate, drywall, paint, enjoy.  It will be a nice room, approx. 21' by 25' with 9' ceilings.  This has been a long time in planning before the house was even started, one of several big plans coming to fruition right now.

Most people could stop reading now, but some may ask what equipment I have:

• Aragon Stage One 7.1 Preamp/processor
• Aragon 2005 200 w/ch amplifier
• Denon DVD-1930ci upscaling DVD/CD/SACD player
• Main speakers: Klipsch Cornwall II
• Center channel: Custom built "vertical cornwall"
• Klipsch THX theater-style dipole surrounds
• SVS 20-39 PCI active subwoofer
• 106" diagnol Draper fixed-frame screen
• Panasonic PT-AX100U projector
• All cables are Belden copper rated for in-wall use

Later in 2006 or early 2007 I'll buy another 2 channel amp to do 7.1.  On completion, all Wisconsin area nerds will be invited to screen some action films.
