Decadent

That was the word used by a friend of mine you saw the new project I am working on. It is big, bossy but decadent??? I don't think so. There is a certain art form to home theaters. They are a complicated fusion of design and technology. I didn't want the pseudo theater design a lot of home theaters go for....the velvet curtains, the massive stained wood panels and, of course, the movie posters and popcorn machine. No, this one needed to blend in as much as an 8 foot high box with a 110" screen in the middle could fade into the background. The theater is also a poolhouse which is sometimes a guesthouse and more often than not, a home gym. Its multi-functional personality said paint me to match the woodwork. It's brains are tucked away neatly in an over-sized closet which is out of view but is in range of the super hi-tech remote and this is all thanks to radio frequency technology. It also boasts a 7.1 sound system which translates to 7 speakers and one sub-woofer. When you can find a 7.1 DVD, the sound is pretty awesome. Of course, the next wave is 9.1, 11.1 and on and on. That is the way with state of the art technology. One day you are cutting edge and the next day you are way behind. But for now, this is a pretty killer theater.
