there's no way that room cost less than $3000US

It was from Google

i think you are missing a 0

my setup is nothing special, new apartment has a fucking dumb living room wall layout compared to my old place

It's pleb shit anyway

Minimum home theater requirements:
>5.1/7.1 audio
>Acoustic treatment
>Full tower left and right speakers
>1080p projector
>A good screen
>A good AV reciever
>A remote that controls every device and lighting

Moving into a new apartment and am looking for ideas on how to set up living rooms.

I'll be lurking for more.

If your "home theater" does not at least meet these requirements, it is not a home theater

Get a short-throw projector and the biggest screen that's practical

It's also a render

If you wall mounted your shit it would open the space up a bit. Your apartment may not allow it, but its not that hard to putty over holes and paint them white/beige if you plan on moving

>not ironically using kinect

studio, off the charts 1/2

2/2

thats fucking gorgeous

I'm having some problems with setting up MPC-Hc. I'm using ReClock and I set it to 30fps because my tv is 60Hz, but when playing 25fps content it is sped up when I want it to be slowed down to 24fps. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed this tutorial to configure everything:

I need a 50ft. RCA stereo cable, do I need to get a certain kind to avoid audio quality drops?

jesus chris that's huge, I don't even know what I'd do with all of that

also the layout is triggering me because it's so patchwork.

You should be using Toslink for runs that long.

Are Micca MB42X fine speakers for a poorfag home movie setup?

Does a 60 inch sony bravia 1080p led tv paired with a 5.2 channel sony reciever with pioneer speakers count as home theater?

because i feel its pretty fucking comfy

My hardware doesn't have optical audio ports. I just want to connect a TV to a receiver on the other side of the room.

>projector

Kill yourself. Not everyone wants to watch shitty dim/pale colors projected onto a wavering screen. If you can't afford a good TV you shouldn't even bother with a home theater system.

I have them + the matching center. I'm more than happy with them. Not to be a redditfag, but check out /r/zeos, it has a bunch of solid home theater guides and recommendations, including the Miccas. I bought my entire setup based on his recommendations, and they did not disappoint.

Current brave little toaster setup, the sound system kicks the videos ass though.

>full tower
While I agree with you on most everything else, full towers aren't necessary for movies - THX, Dolby, and DTS have all adopted and recommend an 80Hz sub crossover, making your hugeass towers that go down to 30Hz useless. If you're listening to music and don't want your sub to kick in, sure, but otherwise movies (and the LFE track) are mixed with 80Hz in mind.

I thought the same until I got blackout curtains to pair with my cheapass BenQ HT1075, can't go back to TV colors anymore, they can't compete.

I have em for my surrounds (7.1) and previously my fronts, they're pretty damn good and compete with speakers that cost a hell of a lot more. Get the straight MB42s used and buy the crossover upgrade yourself from micca, you won't regret it.

$3000 isn't very much to spend on a home theater setup. The furniture probably cost that much.

Receiver
>Yamaha RX-V379: $230
Sub
>Polk Audio PSW10: $130
Center
>JBL Loft 20: $150
Front/Stereo
>2x JBL Loft 40: $100
Surround
>2x JBL Loft 30: $80

Comfy, surprisingly powerful, cheap, decent sound quality. Fuck a all the idiotphile cringe.

Is either professional or amateur use of a spectrophotometer really needed for a good home theater? The only things I ever tune on TVs the backlight and brightness level which typically come out of the box even on the average "movie" presets as overly bright so you get clouding. Colors on your average movie setting seem to look okay, but it probably pretty far off from the idea you could get if you tuned it with a spectrophotometer. I've never seen a professionally tuned TV though, so I don't know if this is like a thing were you can't tell the difference unless you're a machine, or it you can but it's so small that you'd need autism, or if it really a huge change.

I ask because I just dropped $1.5k on a 4K KS8000 and I'm not sure if it's worth it to spend a few hundred on either buying a spectrophotometer or paying a guy to do it. I've heard even professionals are up shit's creek right now away as far as tuning HDR content anyway and none of them know how to or have the right equipment to do it.

Good setup matey. I had a PSW10 but found it chuffed like a motherfucker (think loud fart noises) with sub-35Hz content, mainly due to the size of the room (thus the volume I had to run it at). Upgraded to a BIC F12 (150 shipped on eBay from a seller who always has them), it's an absolute beast, I've measured it down to around 23Hz. I recently got a second one to even out the room, but 1 was pretty damn loud at 3/10 volume in a 20x30' room.

>Upgraded to a BIC F12, it's an absolute beast, I've measured it down to around 23Hz

I'm jelly, BTW I'm glad of my setup.

Just use svp and play stuff at 60fps, if the source is good it's going to be a pretty pleasant experience.

Poor pajeet, not enough money for even the shittiest of LCD displays.

>televisions
>not movie screens and projectors

It's not a home theater.

>projectors
>ever being able to match the quality off an OLED display

fuck off pleb

puked a bit because of that hdr tone mapping and local contrast adjustment

did not notice that

Good luck finding a 100+ inch OLED TV. And good luck trying to get it into your room without knocking out a wall.

>All of these rich posters
A-are any of you by chance interested in a femboy house-wife?

I-I can cook and clean.

get a job m8.

I'm sure some creep of Sup Forums is.

Not much of a home theater as I don't have room for it but this is what I have going on in my living room at the moment.

Panasonic TX-P50VT30B which is calibrated
2nd gen Chromecast
Dali Ikon 1 Mk II loudspeakers on stands
Dali Mentor subwoofer
Marantz PM6005 integrated amplifier
Denon Heos Link network player/preamplifier/DA-converter
NAS with 8 TB of storage
PS3 and Xbox 360

It's mostly for music but I do watch occasional series/movies/anime on it. I usually stream music from my PC where I have a parametric equalizer profile for the living room with channel specific adjustments. Been thinking of getting a miniDSP(or similar) to make the DSP native for every device and more hassle free.
