Well I see his first huge mistake was using a projector.

Everyone knows you get the best picture from Plasma, not Projectors.

He needs a Bose system, too.

“He needs a Bose system, too.”

I’m sorry you just disqualified yourself from giving anymore advice. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

You might get a sharper picture from a plasma, but you can still get a great picture with a quality projector. Plus a plasma that size would be about $75,000. As far as you thinking he needs Bose over Klipsch, I will just bite my tongue as you need some serious education in the world of audio.

I would kill to have a swimming pool in my place!  I’m glad I’m not fat and lazy with too much money on my hands.

They blew it, the whole thing looks like crap. A square hole in the ground with things plopped in it has no style.  Nothing is hidden, the screen just set on the edge of the pool, the speakers and projector are visible. The color of the floor goes with nothing. If they were not going to change the floor, they should have chosen a different color scheme. The light behind the screen is distracting. The planning for this must have been something like” Hey, you wanna put the TV in the pool? Theres more room there.” “Okay, we can use my old couch from college!”

What a wasted opportunity.

Did he just say BOSE????????? Someone get a rope.

I don’t see it as a wasted opportunity myself.  I mean, what do you do with a leaky indoor pool that will cost thousands of dollars to renovate and that no one wants to use?  As the owner of this particular house, I was going to just floor it over.  But when we drained it, we thought, what the hell, let’s make it a theater.

Comments above rip us for not doing build-ins. Kind of hard to do with solid concrete.  Plus, the pool is literally intact under all this.  Aside from carpet glued to the side, it can be a pool again. 

As for the color going with “nothing” Danger, how would you know?  We picked blue because it’s a pool.  Water.  Ocean.  Blue.  Seems pretty intuitive, but maybe not to you.

The photographer from Electronic House decided on the light behind the screen, as there isn’t reallyone there.  And the Wizard of Oz?  Can’t claim that since I wasn’t even home when they took the pictures.

As for the choice of equipment, I stand by the Marantz system our installer recommended.  For my ears and eyes, it more than delivers.  And the pojection versus plasma might have a improvement in picture but I really didn’t want to blow that much money on a theater that might get used five or six hours a week.  I’d rather spend that on the outdoor pool that replace sthis indoor one.

And, gee, Dave.  How’d you know I’m fat and lazy?  I’m not really that fat, but I am kind of lazy.

Forget’em Newfie. I used to sell several brands of high-end equipment and frankly never met anyone that could tell the difference regardless of price. Your setup looks fine and I imagine sounds great too.

I think its wonderful.

Why do so many folks #### all over BOSE?  Are we supposed to only purchase stuff from obscure, third generation cabinet makers from the Northeast?

As an A/V installer, that’s a pretty neat thing to do with an leaky indoor pool.  and for the guys who talked about Bose, There is a reason Cerwin Vega coined the phase decades ago “No highs no lows it must be Bose”.  Have you ever noticed in MOST stores Bose is never demoed with other speaker lines?  It’s because when you use a cone driver for a Tweeter/Midrange, and a Base Module that uses a transmission line port system, how much hi-fidelity can you get!  Bose is marketed to the average listening consumer, who wants to have what his friends have.

It’s not that everyone should buy obscure audio equipment. It’s that Bose charges a stupid amount of money for their name slapped on sub-par products. You can actually spend less and get just as good if not better than bose.

Wow, what a sad, half-assed conversion job.  Looks like they did the minimal amount possible.  Perhaps the customer wanted it to remain looking like a pool?  Is this modular so it can be put back into pool mode?  If not, this is pathetic.  At least try to mask the fact that it was a pool.  The tile is going to ruin the sound.  I’m in Madison, I should interview these guys and see if I can figure out where their heads were at.

i’d have made the screen about four times bigger, and gotten club chairs instead of just-like-at-the-mallplex ones. but i’m guessing it doesn’t take much to thrill y’all.

It would have been a lot nicer to watch movies while in the pool.  I guess they are to lazy for that.

Granted for any self respecting human being bose speakers a below substandard.  That being said they might be good for my alarm clock radio or maybe…maybe computer spearkers, but no human being should accept bose never mind an audiophile.

Bose home theater systems suck….sorry Bose equals no lows…..junk

“Bose Blows” , that is another line I’ve heard.  It is junk and those who support that company don’t take the time to do research.  Get some B&W components, and don’t get such a useless interior designer if you plant to home theater your pool.

I work in the pool industry.  I hope you made sure there would be no ground water that could crack the body of the pool now that it is empty.

Other then that - cool idea.
