Description
This was my first attempt at putting a home theater together, the room is approximately 22' x 13'. I stripped the room down to the bare concrete floor and open ceiling. Ceiling was insulated well after I mounted and wired the four ATMOS in ceiling speakers and and the surround back speakers (gear details below). The equipment rack is made from Cedar planks I sourced locally and is a nod to my late wife who loved Cedar. During the build of that rack, I found I didn't need the top shelf of the front section, so that became a live edge shelf to the right of the TV for pictures. For seating, I chose Valencia Tuscany XL in a 3-chair configuration. They have a little extra room over the normal Tuscany chairs and are, like all the Valencia's, very comfortable.
