🤩. Looking forward to this build. Absolutely love the look of the Dali speakers.
what’s size is your room, and the wall for the 280s?
I don’t see a sub listed, are you planning on getting one?
im guessing the biggest thing a lot of people overlook is trunking or having some ability to upgrade cables/hdmi cables down the line or for replacement.
 
Nice, what are the room dimensions?
 
Sorry forgot the subs I have 2 Dali p-10 subs. The room is 4.7 x 3.8 not including the bay window
 
This should be great to see and LCR s-280's I'm jealous!!
I do have a little bit of advice is as you know I have been doing some work with mine and if I'm being completely honest acoustic boards help alittle but they're not going to keep all the noise out unless you go all the way with the box in a box method?? Which would be rather pricey and room size damaging but go with what you got mate.
I look forward to watching this as Im just about to be able to settle down in mine and watch a movie with a beer (minus a proper sofa)😂 it will be well worth it when you're done 👍

Thanks will try and keep this post up to date. Enjoy your new cinema
 
Update with pics. Got most of the cables in and also the hue strip lights and spot light cables are in. Also had the first sound check for the front 3.

That is some serious bit of equipment right there, those Dalis are incredible. Are you intending to treat your walls and ceiling for light reflection?
 
You are doing a cracking job, you will be well pleased when completed
Looking what you have done up to press got me to take a relook at our install
Memory lane, hope you are enjoying doing the install as we did
No tips to give here, you are well on with it.

I know how you feel because I felt the same way once I built my speakers.
 
Can't wait to see this completed. Very good so far.
:clap:
 
Subscribed!

What sub do you plan on using to complement those monsters up front?
 
Double plaster board in. Also tested the size of the fabric panels. Made them to big 🤦🏻‍♂️ Lucky tested them before making all of the. Plaster going in tomorrow 😁
