I think its wonderful.

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 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.

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

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.
