I went from a Sharp Z10K projector to a Sony VPLHW10 and now have a Sony VPLHW45es. I'll wait until a Sony 4K Laser projector comes down to the $2.5K range before upgrading, which will probably take another 10 years. I'm the opposite. Prior to 4K/UHD I became frustrated about the standard...

My current screen is the one I installed back in 2004. It is only 92" 16x9, it predates blu-ray. I own a broad range of movie and TV content from the 1920's to present. I was able to upgrade probably 60% of my movies to blu-ray, while probably less than 5% of the TV. I also own 1000+ sports...

Interesting...I half expected you to say you don't watch SD content anymore, figuring that SD content might be beyond watchability at that size. Good to know. Thanks.

Good point. I built my HT room in 2004 and I'm happily still using the same speakers I purchased way back then, while I'm on my 3rd projector. First projector developed a DLP color wheel whine after 6 years, second just became dated after 10 years, now I'm on my third. I'm on my second receiver...

I built floor to ceiling columns to house my side and back speakers to hide them as well prevent people from potentially accidently bumping into them. In your case, with the space constraints you may opt for in-wall for the sides and back, but I would recommend sticking with stand-alone speakers...

You may also want to take into consideration the quality of the content you watch. Bigger screen and closer viewing works better for 4K/UHD and HD content, but if you still watch any DVD/SD content it may be best to sit a bit farther away. While the second row could be used for any DVD/SD...

For what it is worth, my room is 18'x15' (not optimal dimensions but what I had to work with). I considered two rows of four recliners each because I thought it would look cool as a home theater. However, in the end I chose to have only one row. In my case, I felt it would be a compromise. One...
