I am in the early design stages of my HT, and wanted to understand and make a decision on the front wall where the projection screen will be.
I have a really beautiful set of Acoustic Research AR1 mains, however for overall cosmetics of the room, I would like the projection screen to be about 2ft from the front wall, so that the front edge of the speakers is parallel with the screen.
I am considering framing in a faux wall in the front, and putting acoustically transparent fabric (to be located and acquired still) across the front, so the speakers are actually "in" the wall, with a means of opening the wall for access.
Is this a desireable setup or will it cause problems with the acoustics? The mains have a 15" side firing woofer on the outside (1 left, 1 right, respectively). Would it make sense to build any type of resonance area in the corners of the room or anything unique like that?
I await everyones opinions and would like to see some pictures if anyone has done something sort of like this..
