New Home Theater Setup (Projector/Screen) (1 Viewer)

I am moving into a new home next week with a media room that measures 12'x16'. The mount for the projector is approximately 14' from the wall that the screen will be mounted on. I already have my audio equipment picked out and have started looking for a projector and screen. I came across the BenQ W1070 and it seems to have great reviews and is also affordable (I'd like to spend less than $1200-1500 on projector and screen). My question is, if I go with this projector, do I need short throw or long throw? Also, what screen size would be best for a 14' viewing distance (the back of my couch will be under the projector). Any recommendations on screens for this projector, as I know nothing about how they contribute to gain etc? Any help would be appreciated.

I have attached picture of the room to help illustrate.

14' is not even close to short throw.I'd move the seating to 8-10 feet...as an audio purist.120" is perfect.

Any recommendations on 120" screens? What type of gain would the screen need to have?

Around 1 gain.Mustang.Elite.DIY.I don't deal with inexpensive screens very often.

With a 14' throw distance and the W1070, the smallest the screen can be is 128" diagonal. You need to measure accurately from the screen to the front of the lens.

That's why I'm looking for replacement projector with a good zoom and both vertical and horizontal lens shift.
