Planning, Budgeting, Research, and Goals: Part 1 of Building Your Perfect Home Theater

After I moved into a new house 18 months ago, I knew I wanted to take everything I'd learned over the past few years and set up my own personal dream home theater system. I spent several months thinking about the constraints on the space and my own goals. I then spent about six months doing research on various aspects while putting it together. About a year later, it was complete.

In this part, I want to cover the basics of how to define what would make your own perfect home theater. This is the earliest step in designing your own system for your own space, so it'll be just writing stuff down and doing research online.

New Series: Building Your Perfect Home Theater

I know it's been quiet here for the past few months, but I wanted to announce a new series of posts on how to build a perfect (for you, and your needs) home theater. It'll be about five parts total and cover the research I did to build my own living room system. I'll post a new section every few days so the whole series should wrap up in a couple weeks.

Stay tuned for the part 1: Planning, Budgeting, Research, and Goals.
