Next to be completed are some new DIY 2 way Synergy horns. The first one will be a 2' x 2' x 2' version with EV DH1A drivers and (2) 15" woofers. The final version is anticipated to be as big as 4' x 4' x 3', but we will see how the smaller versions work out. ;)

Strange they all worked yesterday... I just checked Photobucket, and they are down for maintenance...hopefully the pics will come back OK. If they don't I will load up via another method.

The pics show up for me. :) Not that I plan on changing my speakers, but I am interested in the synergy horn build. Nice job on the theater. When you move to a 4K projector, it will be a big step up over the Panny.

Thanks Mike, the pics problem was that Photobucket was down when people were looking. I can't wait to get the Synergy horns built! I wish i was still working so I could afford a 4K projector. I will have to wait until they are under $3k for sure unless I come into a lot of cash.

Thanks, it is still a work in progress though as I want to change some things in the room. I live in Concord California (Close to Oakland).

Thanks! To me...going as big as you can fit on the wall is the only way to go, as I want theater, not TV size, as it is an entirely different experience to me.
