Home Cinema

I invested in a home cinema, complete with all the bells and whistles like Dolby Atmos, when my sister spent around £20k having hers done. Mightily impressed with the sound and visual aspect, I invested in my own.

Luckily, being up in the midlands compared to hers being down in the south of England, knocks £3k off the price!

So, 120" screen, DTS 7:1 system + the aforementioned Dolby Atmos (built-in the ceiling), plus sofas and, literally, 1000's of DVD's/Blue Ray's and i'm in my happy place.

I used to go to the cinema a lot, with my bestie, but since 'The Covid Years' I've not wanted to, preferring to spend my time at home.

Fav's? Science Fiction and Action-type movies...oh, and Marvel stuff.

Yes, like you said, our's was more expensive...just because we're down South - the North/South divide - you got a good bargain there.

I wasn't enamoured at first - it was @SammyJo's little baby - but, over the years I've really loved relaxing in the room and watching the big screen with a big glass of wine and a bowl of popcorn...

That sounds soooooo bloody good. I’d love to have some kit like that. And a recording studio. Then I’d never leave my house.

@AmberDuponte You’ll probably have saved the money you spent on your kit by now then - cinemas are so expensive nowadays. The last time I went was to see Rogue One!

AmberDuponte · 26-30, F

@Oneofthestormboys I think so too! Ah, that was a great one at the cinema!

Wow a lot of money. Just saying. I used to hook up a stereo to my tv. Then got real home theater. I like my own set up better. And the home theaters I bought did not last more that a few years. Of course under a grand I spent. And just regular TVs.

Now I just stream on laptop. The grandkids have the tv 4 grandchildren living at home with three adult children. No relaxing

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

I want this.

I got a 40 inch 4k tv i just love. just recently i decided to get a 4k dvd player. I had a few 4k dvds and i really wanted to watch them. I got a new sound bar with sub just $150 dollars and it sounds amazing.

i cant imagine having so much extra to spend frivolously...that amount is 6 months income for me

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@1490wayb It seems like a wise investment.

AmberDuponte · 26-30, F

@1490wayb It was, like 4 or 5 years ago now. I'm not planning on moving house so it's a wise investment for me.
