Project Overview
The owners of a great home in Bellevue near Newcastle contacted Theater Design Northwest for a remodel and technology update of their existing home theater. The old setup had seen better days, with an old 480i CRT projector, outdated Pro Logic surround and less than optimal room layout. They wanted modern and contemporary. The aging NHT 5.1 speaker system were good speakers that were about 20 years old, everything was installed with lots of exposed wire and the center channel merely sat on the floor in front of the screen.
The client was right on target with the thought to start over with room layout, which matched up with our first suggestion to move the screen to another wall and open the space up. Quality BG Radia speakers allowed us to install all of the speakers in wall and still get exciting THX performance. A Stewart microperf Filmscreen matched to the JVC 4K eShift projector delivers a beautiful 130″ diagonal image which is huge for the viewing distance. All equipment was installed remotely in an available closet and the existing built ins were repainted to match for DVD storage.
