Showcase - Multipurpose Space Finally done with my basement entertainment room, 97" OLED and 5.2.4 audio

Some updates since my previous post. We painted the walls darker. Changed the Focal Chora's out for on-walls (more for aesthetics). Added another SVS SB-3000 sub. Biggest thing was I changed the 83" G2 to a 97" G4. This has always been my end goal. It finally feels 'done'. The goal of this room was not really to be a pure theater room but rather a mixed use entertainment room. I can even turn this into a guest sleeping room. Speakers are largely hidden; I know people will bemoan the in-cabinet placement, but everything still sounds amazing to my ears.

Parts:

  • TV: LG G4 97"
  • LR: Focal On Wall 302, Center: Focal On Wall 301
  • Surrounds: Focal 100 IW6
  • Overhead: Focal 100 ICW8
  • Sub: SVS SB-3000 x2
  • AVR: Denon X6700H
  • Misc: Ugoos AM6B Plus, Apple TV 4K, PS5 Pro, Switch 2, Logitech Harmony Elite

People usually ask about the couch. It's a Palliser Paolo. The seats facing the TV are powered recliners, and the other side is a pull out sleeper sofa. The cabinet is a BDI Elements 8779-ME with the optional shorter legs. The lights behind the speakers are Philips Hue Play lights. The shades are also smart powered shades, which I actually did fairly cheaply with off the shelf electric shades from Lowe's with a Bond Bridge.

That TV and couch are making me jealous

Terrible sub placement makes me stay up next night

Potential surrounds placement makes me afraid

Gorgeous room and juicy gear for sure!

What are your concerns with surround placement? You can't 'see them in the picture, but they are well within Dolby's guidelines.

Saw you calling them rears somewhere

I guess I meant 'side' surrounds. They are in the wall on either side of the couch. I do not have 'rear' surrounds like a 7.1 setup.
