Phwoar! Look at the cinema on that....

Lots of lovely custom installs - movies and music - to drool at here, in my blog on this year's CEDIA Award winners.

And these were just the winners - standard of finalists was incredibly high, even for the more affordable installs.

Inspiring stuff

Interesting stuff!

I think the magazine should have a regular feature on readers' home cinema installs. Will give lot of nice ideas to readers wanting to install a home cinema. The CEDIA award winners are for drooling on - the readers won't necessarily connect with it, to get inspired to build their own system based on the ideas. Fellow readers' installation ideas is more appealing to replicate.

Starting with yours, if I may be so bold...

Well it's been nicely done and is ambitious without being unattainable, if I may say so.

Thanks JD.

without being unattainable

That's exactly my point. Having a regular feature in the magazine will only show readers what all is possible within their budget.

 

[Clare Newsome]

I'd say the entry-level CEDIA Award winners are attainable - remember that those quoted costs include the price of all the kit involved, as well as the design and installation fees...

Several of the media room finalists came in at well under £10K - some family holidays (and most family cars) cost more

But in terms of %age of the population it would be nice and frankly more realistic if a little more emphasis was placed on the sub£10k level. Logically (if that ever applied with HiFi) fewer systems at £100k+++ are sold. So yes a review of Mr BBoss would be a starting point.

I love the basement room.......... no pool table though.

Funnily enough, we used to publish a separate magazine called Home Cinema, which contained a whole series of readers' installs every month. Sadly it wasn't commercially viable and didn't survive.

Interesting blog, thanks Clare

Projector by the swimming pool anyone? And the 2 £40k plus home cinema rooms are basically, uh, cinemas!
