G'day, Jonno here. I spent the better part of twelve years as a custom installer building theatres — everything from a media room squeezed into a Queenslander to a fully blacked-out, acoustically-treated cinema with a hundred grand of gear behind the screen.

If you're planning a theatre, talk to me before you spend a cent on speakers.
