While not as extravagant as that home theater set up that supposedly cost $6 million we posted last week, this one is pretty cool in its own way.

James Biber has designed this home theater in Montauk New York, taking inspiration from Radio City Music Hall and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The theater has a series of round arches, which house 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs that provide a soft ambient light for when you need to find that elusive remote control. And as in the Music Hall, the lights are positioned to glow away from the viewers – because we all hate to have lights in our eyes when watching the big screen.

Thats too off the wall minimalistic for me.
 
"Good Morning, Dave." :p

The home theater does have its aesthetic appeal to it, I find the inclusion of the bean bags rather unusual. Wouldn't it be quite annoying to hear bean noise whenever someone moves?
 
Looks awfully retro. I like the $6 million theater better. I'll just rearrange the $6 million to maximize space and quality.

Sometimes the name of "Art" is used to cover the reason "I'm too damn cheap to buy a nice set of Berklines".
 
It looks quite dumb to me, the theaters on AVS are much more impressive.
 
Who can afford this shit.

Why with all the Hollywood explosions do you need that type of imaging and sound quality? It all gets lost when some one shoots a car with a gun and it blows up. What the hell is the point.

42" 720p tv, $1000
Reciever $400
Speakers $300
Dvd player $80

Volume: Loud

I aint complaining. But my neighbors are.

To a lot of folks, it's more of a hobby than anything else.


To me, i enjoy movies, i really want to build a nice home theater, but it's either a theater or a massive computer room (can't sacrafice the other rooms)... my vote is going to the computer room :)
 
Much much better than that hideous mass of speakers and books that was on display last week.

Really cool.
 
taking inspiration from Radio City Music Hall and 2001??????????
Those seats are more like taking an inspiration from BooBah :

psh no not even.

looks like a futuristic mockup straight out of the 50's, just with a more modernized projection screen and surround speakers.

The $6 million home theatre seems to be about $5.9 million in vacuum tube amplifiers, and the rest in speakers/lighting. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I personally cant tell the difference between a good tube amplifier, and a good transistor amplifier... Unless the tube amp happens to be connected to an electric guitar, with the distortion cranked up :p

Yes, damn nice. Art deco kicks ass. Reminds me of the theatre that just re-opened here, which was purchased for $1.1 million, and renovated for another $1 million. Seems that both the fox theatre and the titantic-inspired theatre both have one problem: Low resolution images. Things of this epic nature need to be in 2000x3000 .PNG's or more :eek:.
 
kind of scary in the.....watch the screen and drink your "special" kool-aid all will be better sooon.....
