Oh, what is that big boxy-looking thing in the diagram on the far end not shown in your (1st) photo? Is that some movable cabinet furniture or some kinda room treatment added specifically for that plan? Anyway, have you considered moving the screen and front speakers deeper into the space...

PJ is (commonly used) short for projector, hehheh... Ok, in looking a bit closer at those charts, I see some small discrepancies (in the specs/criteria) between them (that may or may not matter, if the data is actually based on running sweeps of actual test tones instead of purely software...

Where do those doors on either end (of the long axis) lead? I don't suppose you can just block one of them off not to be (normally) used anymore, right? :P I don't know. How exactly were those sound profiles generated? What simulation software does he use (and how good is it actually)? I'm...

Ah... I had forgotten you can have the XPAs configured that way. Makes sense. _Man_

I probably woulda gone w/ a couple separate Emotiva amps so at least the front LCRs get more/better dedicated power to feed them (maybe w/ an XPA-3) -- the surrounds and in-ceiling Atmos channels don't need as much power, so even a cheaper BasX model (or combo pair perhaps) should do fine for...

Yes, if needing/desiring to cut costs to stay w/in budget, etc, I'd fully support going w/ those kinds of options as well, including going w/ a single SVS SB-16 Ultra instead of dual SB-4000 -- you can always add a 2nd sub later, if you actually find the need (and you just might be happy w/ the...

I'm not "remotely" (hehheh) a universal remote guru, especially if you want iPad-like ergo/UI, so I'll save that for others, but are you sure you wouldn't prefer the tactile feel/feedback of real buttons for at least some of the most oft-used functions? I strongly prefer having the tactile...

FWIW, SVS just began their BF sale, and if I were you, I'd jump on a pair of their SB-16 Ultra (for $4K combined total) now instead of the SB-4000s (which of course is also on sale). And here's the kicker, since you mentioned you'd love to get piano black, looks like piano black version of the...

Like @John Dirk suggested, I'd probably cut back on spending that much on the surrounds and probably also the Atmos in-ceiling speakers. IF you can, I'd rather spend some of that $ on the subs instead... though you were already over-budget. And yes, as I also said earlier, I'd go w/ sealed...

Right. Something not mentioned yet is you can likely find some good deals in the near future on at least some of the aforementioned options. ELAC, in particular, runs frequently recurring sales (mostly on their Debut and UniFi series speakers) that easily knock 20-30% off their list price --...

Probably a good idea... as long as that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, hehheh. Unfortunately, looks like that Denon AVR doesn't provide pre-outs to allow adding external amp that way. How were you driving those speakers before, if the AVR wasn't powerful enough? Do note that Sony projector...

Yes, that's certainly another cost-cutting option (that could certainly be enough for short term, if not quite long term), especially if those B&W 802s are indeed reasonably close to "like new" for performance... or if you don't mind the probably reduced audio imaging quality for the 2 side...

Welcome to the forum, Dana! Wow! You sure have put a good deal of thought into this (and seem to already have some good amount of knowledge/experience) before posting to start out, and that's a good deal more than usual for us to digest and offer input, which is both great and perhaps requires...
