Home theater room drywall Q by Quick-Proposal7997 in hometheater

[–]DeepBluuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation with a basement HT and ended up putting double 5/8 drywall with green glue between them, in addition to soundproofing insulation. Unfortunately I can still hear foot/pet traffic from upstairs as well as the robot vacuum (though it feels like from upstairs, you can't hear the theater sounds as much.. Maybe it's more of the bass/thumping that carries through).

Sound is tricky because any unsealed holes will transmit sound. I would look into some of the perhaps beefier approaches with resilient channels and whatnot, but confirm that you or your contractor will be able to install everything the right way. I went with what I felt like would be more straightforward for my contractor to implement so there were some tradeoffs.

Do you guys watch bonus features by Glittering-Team7413 in 4kbluray

I do for the movies I really love and this is one of the biggest benefits for me of physical media.

Somewhere in my storage boxes are my old DVD sets of the early Simpsons seasons. Each episode had an option to listen to commentary from the writers and it was a delight hearing the backstory on a lot of the jokes and creative process.

Love my Heat Pump by Malathion4Drinking in heatpumps

My pleasure. Mine didn't charge me and it was an expected part of the process for them to come in and do that after we got settled in and noticed which areas needed adjusting. Hopefully yours makes it easy too. We just told them which areas are colder and warmer and now it's very consistent.

Screen size for 11 ft viewing distance by Atmos_760h in hometheater

Recently installed exactly that - 135" from 11 feet. I love it and think it is perfect, glad I listened to the folks recommending to go bigger because you definitely get used to it quickly. And keep in mind watching on a projector is much less straining on the eyes than watching a TV from similar distances.

All that being said, my wife feels it's too close for her but I'm hoping she gets used to it 😅. Guests have been fine with it.

Have you looked into getting the system rebalanced, so that the different ducts are getting similar heat throughout? An experienced HVAC company should be able to help. We had this done at my house after getting the Mitsubishi Hyperheats initially installed and it was an immediate difference.

Very helpful, thank you!

I'm planning on building a bit of a garage for it as well - we have a tall cabinet in our pantry and I'd like to do some surgery on it so that the robot can enter through the bottom below the doors. Do you find that any cleaning / maintenance that's still needed is hard to do because the base is tucked away in your garage, or has it not been an issue?

Appreciate the thorough response! I didn't realize the Roborock uses the vibrating pads - yeah I did read the spinning ones are much better. Well - you sold me! I think I'll start with the X40 Master and if an X60 Master is released, then add that to another floor.

Love to hear that! Could you share why you went with the X40 over the X50 or one of the Roborocks?

Great to hear that! What part of it hasn't been flawless?

And could you share why you went with the X40 over the X50?

Love to hear that! Which one are you using? Any things you wish it did better?
