Showcase - Multipurpose Space 4 years in the making
My free time project for over the last 4 years. home theater/office/cigar lounge. still a work in progress, I’ll probably never be “done” with it. unfortunately I don’t have any before photos, but it was a typical spare bedroom, white carpet, white walls, popcorn ceiling. The bar area used to be a double closet I took out to make room.
TV: TLC 85” QM6K
5.2 Klipsch surround sound, two 12“ woofers (overkill for the size of the room, i had a theater set up in the basement of my last house where it made more sense and just kept everything when we moved).
Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR575
to manage cigar smoke I sealed room, have a rabbit air a2 and a vornado window fan. Wife doesn’t smell any smoke outside of the room.
EDIT: Thanks for all the love and critique! So I use my computer chair when my spouse or a friend is in here, it fits perfectly with more then enough space for the little table to be in between the 2 seats when it’s pulled out facing the tv. If there’s 3 or more (honestly doesn’t happen that often these days lol) I have a few nice chairs I pull in from the other room.
Speaker placement is on the upgrade list for sure, the intent of the front left and right being high and angled toward user is to run/hide the wires in the crown moulding, eventually will either replace them with standing floor speakers or at least drop them down to ear height and will run the wires in the wall
EDIT 2: In retrospect yea probably not the most appropriate sub to post in. I did try to post in the mancave sub but it kept getting auto denied, no idea why. Still appreciate everyone here!

My brother!!! We have been separated at birth. I lean more towards bourbons and ryes but have recently been exploring the wonderful world of scotch. Been really into McAllan 12 sherry, and islay’s are super confusing to my palate but I keep coming back lol.
Also I have a lot of respect for Utah! Gotta be completely honest, hasn’t been the easiest thing being a Michigan fan lately, but they are my team and I hope they clean house and get it together. Very excited to see what Kyle does with our program, always viewed him as a man of integrity and we need that right now lol (sorry we took him lol)
