If you are into movies and audio then a home theater has probably crossed your mind. Jamis has documented his fantastic home theater build for all of us to enjoy.

    This job needs to be finished off with some acoustic pannels. I can tell there is a crazy echo in that room from the bare walls. Clap your hands in a movie theater….no echo…movie theaters are acousicly dead. thats what you need for great sound!

    Looks great! Nice job!

    While the room does need more acoustic treatment, there are panels made of fabric wrapped OC 703 at the first reflection points on the side walls. As is, there is little to no echo. The sound quality is good enough that I’m not rushing out to build bass traps or line the front wall with linacoustic immediately… though I will eventually. :)
