![]() What's wrong with the above design? You and your tech-loving partner shared the enthusiasm as your newly acquired flat screen display was proudly hung over the fireplace - oops, your first step in creating a Destination Home Theater was, unknowingly, a misstep. "The optimal viewing angle of the display should be at or slightly above eye level," says Barbara Roth, "but above the fireplace is too high. As more home theaters are integrated into the family room, important design elements found in a 'dedicated' home theater are being misplaced - the resulting experience is often disappointing." Barbara offers excellent design tips for creating a home theater experience that optimizes the audio & video quality while enhancing the decor and functionality of your family room.
