We watched Gravity and the low noise floor truly gave an amazing impression of space - particularly when the space debris exploded onto the scene. The dynamic range knocked me for a loop and even in my nice theater, I don't have that. I've never been in a more quiet room. I'm an avid AV enthusiast, photographer, video producer, and drone pilot who spends his spare time exploring cities, listening to music, watching movies, and playing video games.
That led me to contact people like Art Sonneborn, Jeff (thebland - respecting how he elects to show himself in public), Ash Sharma and Lon. They were so generous with their time as they invited me into their homes to experience their theaters - this exploration took me all over the country. I think what amazed me when I first saw that thread was that they went out of their way to recreate and actual theater.
BLUE HAWAII 4K UHD Review
But given his passion , he will eventually get that solved given the rapid improvements in display technology. This no-holds-barred theater is well known to AVS Forum regulars who frequent the site and follow the Home Theater of the Month series... It sets the standard for performance. The theater’s owner, Rob Hahn is a retired Hollywood cinematographer with A-list credentials , which helps explain where the inspiration—as well as the resources—to build this epic theater came from. Even though it took 3 years to design and build, it was really a decades-long process. My wife and I were invited out for a weekend to the Hahn theater and watched a movie and many demos in that room until late at night .

Home Theater Equipment and Hardware
So many people contributed to the success of the final project - it's hard to single out anyone (and I'm afraid I'll inadvertantly leave someone out)! Keith does mention some of the special people on his website at the end of the piece on my theater. They were the ones who made it happen. His build thread says it all...Keith Yates, Fluid Dynamics algorithms for design and the best building principles, materials, construction and thinking.
Acoustic Frontiers determined speaker and listener positions, designed and provided the acoustic treatment scheme and calibrated the EQ. Projection leverages the higher bit depth and WCG of today's HDR releases, but compared to 1000-nit and 4000-nit HDR mastered for flat panels, it's got more in common with SDR after all the tone mapping is over and done with. It will be interesting to see if the issues with micro-LED screens get solved within a decade or if the answer will be found in some next-generation projection-based solution—especially if laser light sources get cheaper. Thanks to all for your extremely nice comments and to AVS forum for awarding my theater as Home Theater of the Decade!
Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema IX – Blu-ray Review
It's been an exciting decade for dedicated home theater enthusiasts. Technological advances—including the advent of 4K, HDR and 3D immersive sound—deliver huge advances in video and audio fidelity, allowing home viewers to enjoy movies without any significant compromise versus commercial cinemas. It is now possible to beat the local multiplex in terms of the overall viewing experience. First and foremost, having a resource like AVS Forum available was crucial in allowing me to dream about building the theater I'd always wanted in the first place. My computer is packed with threads and quotes from all the great people here who have shared their experiences online.
From the opening scene in the Revenant where they are hiking through the water in a fjord. It gave such a sense of space it was almost uncomfortable - it was so realistic . Dynamics and bass were off the charts.
That is not simply a home theater, or dedicated home theater, it is from the ground up a professional, I would buy ticket's to go see a movie there theater. But with none of the compromises, or VERY little, that commercial theaters have to deal with. It is a no compromise i want the best...period. And its truly stunning to behold and I am sure the photo's no matter how well done don't do it justice. May's project of the month is a dedicated listening room incorporating YG Anat speakers and BMC amplifiers and DACs.
Fortunately there is a full build thread on AVS Forum along with a very extensive discussion, which you can find here . I would like to include John Hibbard - he was the site supervisor on our job and was superb in coordinating all the complex tasks for our entire home project. He quickly realized that he needed help for the theater portion and he and Rick Koch, Davenport's general contractor, decided that Bob Cebulski should be the guy. Bob worked closely with Rick's son, Gill and the theater's construction is as wonderful as it is because of their diligence and extraordinary attention to detail. I could never build this theater but I would buy a ticket twice a week.
In this context, the Hahn Theater by Keith Yates Design represents an ideal—cover all the bases needed to deliver a "truly reference" viewing experience in a home theater. A man who understands what it takes to turn sound into something tangible, visceral, that tricks you into thinking what you hear is real... And then tie it into what's on screen in a manner that achieves transcendental suspension of disbelief.
An outstanding achievement for sure. The new Christie uber projector seems to be the natural choice for this theatre.... Keith Yates has informed me that the Hahn Theater ebook featuring the schematics and additional images and info is currently lo-res but that soon it'll be updated so you can click through to a hi-res version. Fortunately, I didn't kill my experience in my own theater...
