The carpenters are framing as we speak. I'm ading a 15x24 room off my kitchen to be used as a family room/theater, so I had to put one window on each side (which i will promptly block with blinds and curtains.) My plans are for a ceiling mounted projector, such as the HS-10, firing on to a 96" diagonal 16:9 masked section of wall painted with a screen goo type paint. I am planning a low set of cabinets on the screen wall, about 30" high, like kitchen cabinets without the drawers. On top of this on each side will be a set of shelves about 32" wide, leaving about 8' +/- for the screen. The ceilings are only 8' tall, so the screen will be about one foot from the ceiling, down to about 3' up. Does this make sense? Anyone have comments on my ideas? I'll post pictures if anyone is interested as the project continues.
My main concern is front speaker placement. I plan on placing the center horizontally on the cabinet, but the mains (Axiom 22's) will need to be on my stands, I guess on the floor. Not very happy about this solution. (stands in front of cabinet doors). If i place the axioms on the cabinet also, it may block the edges of my screen.
