HCC reader Kjetil turned three rooms into one to build his dream home cinema. Now he's in there every day watching movies, cheering on the football, and listening to Metallica

How long have you been into a home cinema, and what was the first setup you had?

My interest in audio started when I was thirteen years old. Later, my first home cinema had Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a projector from BenQ and a Pioneer receiver, and more upgrades after that. That room was a part of where my main cinema is today.

Why did you decide to set up your current cinema?

I had a feeling I wasn't getting the full potential with my previous setup and even with expensive B&W speakers my room was always the limiting factor. My speakers were then B&W 800 Series models, partnered with Cary Audio/Rotel amps. I always had a dream about a bigger cinema and I saw the potential of combining three rooms as one.

What kit's in your system?
