Also, sorry to see Highlander lost out, my #1 movie. got this poster back in college, can't read most of it, but was the best option I could find at the time. Seen with my new-old toy.

That's a sweet poster.. The company is called spoonflower and you can have anything printed on fabric for practically nothing.. SUPER cheap. You pay for the yardage and it isn't expensive. I had all 6 24x36 posters (with a 2" black border on each) printed on 4 yards of "performance knit" fabric for ~$80

The performance knit has great acoustical transparency and is super white so the quality is fantastic. It stretches about 1/4" in each direction when stretched over a frame (at 24x36), and it is tricky to get it straight. If you have words and the such on your artwork you can get "silky faile" and it won't stretch hardly at all and will have better blacks but will still be acoustically transparent (if you want to make treatments out of it or put speakers behind it or whatever). You can upload any art you want and you check a box that says there is no copyright issues (we won't debate what is copyrighted though, lol) and they don't have any issues with it because you are just doing it for you. The printing is done at 150 dpi, so if you can get art that resolution it comes out the best. I sent these in (28x40@150dpi) at 4200x6000 resolution and maxed out the quality (jpg's). I had to compile them together as one to get them all on one print (the performance knit is about 60" wide, so they fit great 2 across) but the max file size is 50 mb, so I had to drop quality to 11 in photoshop to get all 6 to fit under 50mb. I can't tell the difference, on the Avengers poster the quality is perfect even right up close.

I never knew this kind of technology existed.. you can get any are, repeating, centered, mirrored, etc. on fabric and it is so cheap and the quality is amazing. The fabric can be washed and ironed and all that with no problem. It's unreal.

That's cool, I'l have to file that reference away for future use. Thanks!

Thanks for posting those build details dkersten. Your woodworking is impressive. :cheers:

My mom gave me one of her old pairs of Cerwin Vega speakers. Someday I'd like to build new cabinets for them similar to what you did. I like the look of that cherry.

dkersten:
First 3 bass traps are up... really makes a difference in sound quality.. I am anxious to do the other 11 treatments (3 more posters, the rest in black fabric). Now trying to decide if dark red will still be better than a dark blue on the walls...

That looks sahweet!

I have 2 comments:

1. I own the same couches. Freakin' love them. So comfortable. They are like the lego of couches. Each section comes apart. I have four pieces in a row in my living room. Each piece is a power recliner.

2. Are you going hide those speaker wires?
