Now this is something very unique and different! The BodySound home theater seating truly creates individual listening experience. It combines furniture design with high quality audio. This new line of specialty furniture literally eliminates the need for in-room loudspeakers.

Each seat features a wireless 7-speaker surround sound system powered by 650 watt amplifier and a built-in multi-processor, embedded within the custom leather furniture. You can also fine tune the system the way you like. The BodySound technology will adjust the volume automatically to match your settings. In addition, the built-in speaker system produces vibrations throughout the seating area as well. You can easily customize the amount of vibration you want to feel.

The price of BodySound home theater seating starts at $5,995 MSRP and can also be custom designed based on your preferences.

Well, if the Indiana Jones home theatre setup wasn’t sufficiently sweet for you, maybe you’ll get more joy out of the sealed vault home theatre setup.

First, yes, that IS a bank vault door you see in the background there.  It actually works, too.  Plus, you’ve got a mural, cherrywood accents, leather seating for about twelve or so, and stadium seating.  This by itself is pretty nice until you add on the components, which include a one hundred six inch projector screen and a Sony projector.

The interesting thing about this setup is that the components are actually exposed.  Now, hiding speakers is a bad idea, but hiding your DVD player and such? That’s not so bad.  But in the sealed vault, they’re right out in the open, counting on the distraction of the room’s decor to keep people occupied.

But either way, this is definitely a sweet home theatre setup.

If you are installing a home theater system into an existing living or family room, you probably already have furniture that you will need to work with as is, but if your home theater system is lucky enough to have a room of its own, installing the system itself is only the beginning. Home theater seating can be had in any style and at any price point you can possibly imagine, with home theater recliner/loungers in leather or microfiber an especially popular choice.

Common features include drink holders, power recline options, full body support, and space saving construction that allows you to fully recline even if the seat is placed inches from a wall. Designing the space itself can be a lot of fun once you’ve decided on a system or components, with special lighting, popcorn and drink machines, and framed movie posters all widely available online. Be careful though—Make your system too comfy and you’ll never leave your house again!

Home Theater Seating

One issue you may not have given a lot of consideration when planning your home theater set up is seating. You may already own a living room set and have no plans to change that out. That’s not a problem. But placement of the furniture is something you might want to consider in order to maximize the home theater effect. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers have actually given this issue a lot of thought, and real paying theaters take it very seriously.  According to recent guidelines set by the industry, “…a screen appears large when it occupies a substantial portion of a viewer’s horizontal and vertical field of vision. Our experience indicates that the screen image will appear small [in a theater environment] if the image occupies less than 15% of the viewer’s vertical field of vision or less than approximately 30% of the viewer’s horizontal field.”

This is a fancy way of saying, don’t sit too close, or the screen will actually appear smaller and you will have a substandard viewing experience. Another issue to keep in mind is the type of TV and projection system you will be using. Keep in mind when placing your furniture that some models cannot be viewed as well from an angle and place your seats as front and center if you can.
