I've got a fundamental question, which i'm realizing is more complicated than I first thought: Should I go for an acoustically transparent (AT) screen with in-wall speakers behind it, or conventional screen with Center channel below and L/R speakers to the sides?
I thought it was an easy answer: if budget and flexibility allows, go AT and hidden speakers. But as I've started reading more, I see there are trade-offs: acoustic impact, light level impact, possible ghost image degrading contrast and clarity, minimum viewing distance and 4k compatibility. With that there are two basic design options: perforated or woven.
And then there are speaker considerations: build a facade and use free standing speakers or minimize room impact and use in-wall speakers?
I appreciate any insights and recommendations
