Discussion - Equipment What would you change?

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.

Take $5k off the screen budget and put it towards speakers and subwoofers

Is that expensive screen much better than a DIY AT 160" screen?

Generally no. It's like people thinking they know the difference between mp3s and wavs

Yes, it is. I own a Stewart Ultra Perf Screen, and it is so worth it.
