MY Home Theater App (Personal Edition)

Any DIYer who decides to take their home movie experience to the next level, quickly learn there's a lot of numbers to crunch and questions to be answered, before you can start setting up your speakers or putting a couch down; and It's all too common to find Home Theater Enthusiasts who do it wrong. I built My Home Theater App (MHTA) to save you the same countless hours I spent researching and taking measurements, before finally being able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Whether you're wondering about the ideal sitting distance from your TV screen to proper height speaker placement, and everything in between, I've got your covered. This video is probably the easiest way to learn about all the things you can do in MHTA.
