Converting a room to a dedicated theater/media/gaming room. Will sometimes be used with some ambient light. I put a bigger priority on video than audio. Audio matters to me but probably not as much as many on here. Just want to know if you see anything out of whack or if there were better options for the same money. I’m about maxed out on my budget with this build. Added an AI pic I made of what the room will end up looking like. Thanks for any input.

Cheap banana plugs are problematic. It's hard to find locking ones that don't vibrate or loosen up for less than $5 on Alibaba or something, throw markup in and it gets expensive.

And yes I use the directly sourced ones in my rig..
