2. Old Pool Home Theatre
When you have a big house with many rooms, some of the rooms are not used. So they don't remain empty you could do something useful, like the owners of this Wisconsin home did with their unused indoor pool. They decided that it could become a veritable home theatre, and they did a really great job of creating a spacious home theatre with stadium-style seating.
3. Indiana Jones Home Theatre
This amazing Indy-themed room was designed by home theatre expert Doug Charrois, for Larry and Colleen Halliday in Canada. The room even features replicas of the holy grail, a jacket, hat, whips, torches and more - including the idol from the opening of the original movie.
4. Brabus Home Theatre
This particular home theatre is in a home on wheels, and it's a Mercedes-Benz tuner Brabus theatre. It has a 40-inch 3D model, which has a Playstation 3, Internet connected Mac Mini, not to mention a lot of iPads. In case you are wondering, there is also a Keurig coffee machine, in case you need some extra energy.
Just to let you know, this Brabus has a 6.1 litre V-8 that will bring this theatre from 0 to 60 in six seconds. I once heard about home theatre buses, and this one certainly goes a whole lot faster, even though it probably doesn't hold as many people. It's good that it has 3D and looks quite comfortable.
5. Inflated High End Home Theatre
This cool inflatable outdoor home theatre inflates in about 5 minutes with its own built-in fan. The gigantic screen is 16 by 13 ft. and it includes a DVD player, a high-output DLP projector, dual 15-inch speakers with stands, a microphone, and all of the required cables. It's basically like having an outdoor home theatre in a box, but this “little kit” will set-you-back about US$10,000. Set up this outdoor theatre in your backyard, and you'll be the most popular house on the block.
6. Terminator Home Theatre
This is, without a doubt, one of the coolest home theatre setups ever. Electronic House featured this Terminator inspired home theatre recently. I've got to say, Darren Mortenson, the man behind this particular piece of theatre magic, is a genius. It's designed to look like a sci-fi set and includes a bunch of cool little props and pieces of memorabilia. The project was put together on a reasonable budget. Looking at the products in the component list, there is nothing there that is outlandishly expensive. The DIY [Do-It-Yourself] aspect makes this project incredibly cool. You see people outsourcing this kind of thing all the time, but Mortenson did it himself and became a licensed CEDIA installer in the process. The 159-inch screen ought to make his favourite movies on the screen seem larger than life.
7. Radio City Music Hall Home Theatre
James Biber, an architect and partner at Pentagram, has designed this home theatre in Montauk, New York, inspired by Radio City Music Hall. The home theatre, which takes up 350 square feet in a 1,500-square-foot basement, had to have soundproofing and dimmable lights, and the client wanted seating on the floor.
What impresses me most about this home theatre is the lighting, which is hidden in the arches facing the stage. 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs are installed but the light is very soft. On the dimmest setting, the lights prevent the theatre from being completely dark.
8. Paris Home Theatre
Jason Crist wanted to bring some Paris back to his home in Nashville, so he hired designer Donny Hackett to build an incredible Paris-themed home theatre. It comes complete with a "ceiling structure [that] was modelled after a rose window in the Notre Dame cathedral."
9. Rotating Home Theatre
Now isn't this one of the coolest home theatres you have ever come across? The front row seats rotate a full 180 degrees at the touch of a button, facing the second row so that the room instantly transforms into a social-friendly setting. The 16-foot circle of flooring comes equipped with a quartet of motors and several wheels right below the floor's steel frame in order to achieve this. Other than this apparent novelty, you also get a 7.1 channel audio system and a 12-foot wide custom-built screen that has been perforated with small holes in order to let the sound through. Sounds expensive to me, which is why I didn't even bother to ask about the price.
10. Pirates of the Caribbean Home Theatre
Built at a cost of US$2.5 million, this Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired home theatre definitely looks the part. Unfortunately, you won't find any life-like animatronics in the theatre.
