Project overview

When the owner of a newly purchased home wanted to convert a basement billiard room into a dedicated home cinema, performance was the only requirement on the brief. Working closely with the client, Sydney HiFi Mona Vale transformed the space into an extraordinary private cinema experience, delivering an exceptional level of detail, dynamics, and immersion.

Room size: 6.4m (L) x 4.5m (W) x 2.45m (H)

The challenge

The existing space needed significant modifications to optimise acoustics and layout for a high-performance cinema. Building works were undertaken to close off a double doorway and construct a new wall with a single door, reshaping the room into a purpose-built environment ideal for serious audio-visual performance.

‍

The solution

After experiencing Sydney HiFi Mona Vale’s largest demonstration cinema featuring Krix, the client made an easy decision: to anchor his system around the Krix MX-40 front soundstage and Krix Hyperphonix 45 speakers for the height and surround channels.

The result

The end result is a meticulously crafted, high-impact cinema that achieves the original brief - and exceeds it. The client was overwhelmed by the final installation, describing it as:

"The most impressive thing for me is the level of detail and immersion all around me — it's my favourite room in the house!"

Thanks to Sydney HiFi Mona Vale’s expert design and installation - and the powerful, cinematic performance of Krix loudspeakers - this once underutilised space has been transformed into a true showcase of immersive entertainment.
