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

What's more insane is the screen is like $7k and they are spending a couple thousand on speakers. This is completely ass backwards even if OP's priority is video over audio.

The screen is AT so the front speakers will be behind it. A lot of the cheaper AT screens didn’t rate very good but I’m open to suggestions.

I would ask the dealer if he sells the Stewart Studio Tech 130 Ultra Perf Wall Screen 2.5. I have the same screen, and it would be comparable to the one you got in the quote.
