hi there,

i'm actually thinking of setting up my own mini cinema at my house.

The following things i've listed down in order to do that:

(i) Sound System

(ii) Set projector

(iii) Sound proofing..

Anything that i left out? any recommendation? which brand of speaker, projector etc. what are the estimated costs involved? I really dont have any idea on how to start with.

Thanks

Another thing to consider is your room setup. Are you going to have a dedicated room for your mini cinema? Or are you putting in your living hall?

You also need to set a budget. As ronnt88 mentioned, 40k to 50k will get you a very nice setup. But if you don't want to spend so much, I think 20k to 30k can also suffice. The main thing that will eat your budget is the projector and screen.

Wow, you mean the sound proofing material is 6" thick? What kind of material is it?

I agree, the PQ and AQ in local cinemas is not up to standard. Watching in a properly setup home theater is better!

can somebody advise me what are the differences between Home Theater Projector and standard projector?

When you say "standard projector" you mean those used by companies to show presentations?

For one, HT projectors have higher resolution (especially full HD type, 1920x1080). HT projectors are also more geared towards black levels and color accuracy, because these are important for HT use.
