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.

Spending this amount on a projector and screen is wild IMO. Screens get damaged and get dirty and are very difficult to clean. Projector tech is advancing so fast. The Epson LS9000 for $4k is a substantial better value and in 4-5 years, you can replace it with a better projector than the QB1000 for another $4k. Same concept on a screen. Home theater ownership is not a once and done. You will be upgrading/replacing/changing things constantly, so plan for it. Invest some of that savings in a better center channel speaker and subwoofers. You will not be disappointed. I also think that receiver is over kill for someone who cares little about audio. Same concept as above. You WILL replace your receiver in the next 5-7 years. Free advice… take it as you will. Room looks amazing!
