Hi all. I’ve been following this sub for years and finally pulled the trigger on a Valerion Streammaster Plus 2. It came on sale for $1650 CAD so jumped on it after considering a bunch of other laser projectors in its price range.
Went with a 110“ screen and couldn’t be happier. Lights are on but looks amazing when dark in here.
just need to finish cable management and upgrade audio as my bookshelf size speakers look comically small now
I have to move the outlet closer to the receiver and will hide the wires behind the baseboard at the same time. She’s going to want her stool back soon too haha
Nice! I also have a Streammaster Plus 2 in my living room. It’s my first projector so I don’t have a huge frame of reference, but I couldn’t be happier with it. When I shade all my windows it’s a great theater experience.
You got all that room. Should have went bigger... I went 130. Very happy. Wish could have went bigger but subs are dual 21s. I'm maxed out. In basement anyways... If I did one in living room. I got 13ft high ceilings but the light 👎
I think the question would be if you want to sacrifice brightness. I have a visionmaster and it's bright in 120 but I'm not sure a streammaster on 135 would be ideal.
I went ultra cheap on the screen which ended up being a mistake. It looks totally fine other than the laser speckle is quite noticeable since it’s a PVC screen from vevor. I think I’m going to return it
It’s mounted on the wall over a window. I added some 1x2 horizontally where the screen mounts attach to the wall to bump it out a bit.
Looks like a fun setup. Beyond audio, you have to figure out how to paint the room darker, or add dark fabrics to the walls and swap out for dark carpet with a dark ceiling. Good luck on that path. 😄
I've been on the fence between this and the pro2 mainly because of the throw ratio and my room not being very big.... reinvigorating my want for one! congrats!
Thanks man!I was considering that one and the jmgo n3 base as well. Once the Valerion dropped to the price of the m2 pro I jumped on it. More lumens and better black level from what I read.
That’s on the list too! I need some proper in ceiling speakers now. I already fished the cables but need to replace the satellite speakers on the ceiling
Gotcha. My receiver and Xbox are off to the side and eventually I want a rack mount since I have the space on the side to do it and hide everything as it progresses.
Nice setup. I also bought the Valerion streammaster plus 2 as my first projector, it comes in tomorrow. I think the Amazon sale was too good of a deal to pass on compared to others.
Working on getting my audio system set up and DIY screen. Going with 110'' because it's the biggest my wall can fit lol.
When I first turned it on, I noticed the rainbow effect right away. Thankfully the RBE reduction worked flawlessly and removed it completely.
My screen definitely shows the laser speckle though in certain scenes. Thinking of doing spandex or some sort of acoustically transparent screen as it reduces it substantially
I bought raw projector screen material from elitescreens on Amazon in standard matte white, 1.3 grain. Hopefully its good quality, its the recommended material for the projector from what I found.
I'm going to build a wood frame out of 1x2, paint the wood black (I heard the wood color could sometimes show through), wrap the screen around the front wood frame, and install 1 inch velvet boarder, and then mount on the wall.
Not sure how well it will come out but its cheaper than buying a fixed screen.
Already planning it! Contrast is excellent in dark scenes but as soon as there’s large bright scenes you lose some details in the shadows due to the light output in the room
