Dear Satish,
With faisal's work it is nice to learn from you that there are no major faults, or should we say that there are minimum faults, which will occuer by the best maker, the photo which you are showing is surely good, but the theatre pictures which are over here are also quite good. The clutter part is not a issue, that can be resolved within no time.
As requested earlier I hope you can tell us how the acoustic treatment was done. I want to know most importantly the place where walls have the fabric, what are those round holes visibile of around 5 inches.
It is good to show foreign home theatre pictures, so we know how things can get better, but sound of music has shown us the good pictures of home theatre??s which are made by him, i have yet to see better pictures of home theatre??s that are made in our country, keeping in mind that i have seen more than 15 home theatre pictures which are made ihere, they are no way near, to the pictures of faisal's theatre pictures.
I feel Faisal deserves good appreciation, there are dealers, etc, who on their website have posted theatre pictures which are directly flicked from some abroad theatre. Furthermore only last week or so times of India had an article on how to make a home theatre, there too the theatre picture was of some foreign theatre, so to sum it up that way sound of music has atleast shown us some good pictures of the home theatre??s which are made in India.
It is not about comparison, it is just that he pointed out the errors with your home theatre. It is very good that you did the work yourself.
Indeed the amount which you have spent is nowhere compared to what faisal has spent, that his because he has got any day much better audio video equipments, the best of recliners, great interiors, etc.
I appreciate the details you told me about the carpet problem, I think a home theatre is better in a basement, that way it is good for you. By the way which precautions you have taken so that the water does not get in again in your basement theatre room. I had visited one filmi music guy, he had the same problem, water got in, he had to construct a new dubbing related room, in other part of his house, because he had the fears that in the particular area, water could get in again, with the kind of crazy rains in paricular years.
It is a very good idea that you are making your home theatre in peace meals, it has it??s own advantages and disadvantages, all the best.
Vinay.
