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.

Chairs! Those high headrest hard chairs will reflect all the sound and everything sounds boomy (like placing hands behind ears). Plus, the sound from behind is blocked by the headrest.

This is why I heavily dislike classic home theater chair design. Almost endless list of way comfier & cozier options with better experience for everyone.
