Who Wants to Go "Out" to the Movies, Anyway?
Well, Liz and I have started researching our next big project. It's probably a little ways off (at least after we get back from Ireland), but we've done some research. We're planning on turning our basement into a home theater. Not just a big TV and cushy chairs, mind you, we're planning on buying a front projection TV, which should give us a screen size of around 90" and a full surround sound speaker system. You can all thank Nate for giving us the idea by "accidentally" purchasing a projector a year or two ago.
We spent some times a Ultimate Electronics this weekend checking out speakers and receivers. They did have some projectors, but the cheapest one they had was about 3 grand. We're hoping to get the whole system for about that amount. We found a better deal on speakers over at Best Buy, but we liked the ones at Ultimate a little better. We might see if they can match the deal at Best Buy before we buy anything.
Anyway, we've got some work on our hands, for sure. The biggest thing right now is getting rid of the monstrous entertainment center in our basement. It came with the house and I think this project is being spurred by our hatred of the beast. We're going to put an ad in the IBM classifieds when we get back from Ireland and see if we can't manage to get rid of the thing. I think the toughest part is going to be getting someone to haul it out of our basement.
So, that's the current plan, anyway. I doubt we'll do much with our plan until after we get back from Ireland, but it's a start.
Yeah, so I got nothin' else. Catch y'all later.

Depending on what exactly you're looking at for speakers, Yamaha makes some good ones. The sound quality is great, but their limitation is the over all volume. It's enough to fill a room, but can't handle the volumes to scare your neighbors across the street.
American is actually a pretty good place to look for decent quality home theater stuff. They have nice furniture and a good selection of decent to high quality components.
Also, I highly suggest the seat rumblers. They make everything just seem better.
