Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Can a theater ever be too dark? Today we are reviewing The Bat Cave, created by James. A theater that features as much black/dark as possible.

"My home theater adventure started over 20 years ago. I had an extra upstairs bedroom that I decided to convert into a home theater. I've gone through many changes and upgrades over the years: multiple projectors, AV receivers, Blu-ray players, screens, and different seating arrangements. I haven't made any changes recently; in fact, this has been the longest stretch of time that I have not done some type of upgrade. I realize my gear is not the latest on the market, but right now, I'm content with what I have. Anyway, I will never give up my vintage a/d/s speakers!"

Need help with your "Dream Home Theater? Whether you are converting a small spare bedroom or building a dedicated room from the ground up, everything has to come together to make that experience enjoyable. Ben and Ryan can help design, source, and calibrate the perfect system for your exact space. Get in touch using the links at the bottom of the description.
