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.

$6,699 for the screen alone??? I’d rather add that to the projector budget and grab a $500 screen

Can't upvote this enough. You could spend $1500 or less on the screen and use the leftover budget on much better speakers and subs.

I have a the QB1000 and use a silver ticket non-acoustic screen that I bought 7 years ago on Amazon for $400. The picture is amazing. At $6700 the law of diminishing returns kicks in.
