Finally finished my mini cheap DIY home theater.
I bought my first speaker set back in the spring from Facebook Marketplace. Some Polk Towers, a Center and a Yamaha receiver. I traded the 2 of the Polk Towers and the Yamaha for the Wharfedale's. Then I traded the other 2 Polk Towers and the center for the 4 Klipsch I'm using for Atmos speakers. Bought the Paradigm Center and Surrounds for $100. Traded some junk I've had for a while for the Onkyo RZ-50. Found an Episode 12" sub and a old SVS 10" on Facebook for $75. Painted the walls and ceiling black, used bookcases to wall in the corner of the basement. Put the Armoire in and cut out the back for the Narnia door. Then a theater went out of business down the street so I bought a short row of 4 real theater chairs and built a platform. In all I spent $1200 including paint and stuff. I still have some finishing touches but I'm pretty damn happy.
