Thanks again for all the help!

ps. Mad Max Fury Road UHD makes for one helluva demo BluRay.

Well, I have now sat down for an extensive amount of time inside the theatre. I have to say that the 150" screen with the Sony projector is something that dazzles the eyes. This is install was well done and by far exceeds many of the home theaters I have spent time in. The Screen Innovations screen with the backlight is also something that surprised me. I always thought that Stewart was the only game in town for those serious about HT, boy was I wrong... this screen is awesome. The backlight is not something I would use for movies, but for watching TV, etc. it is a great option to have at your fingertips.

The furniture in the room is super comfortable. The pictures do not do it justice. The leather is top notch, something that rivals and beats most HT I have ever been in.

I know Clayton built this with the idea that over time he would upgrade the FL, C, FR speakers and amps, but as it sits now, the overall sound is great. I like the way he approached the design within budget and spent a considerable amount up front on things that would be harder to replace (in wall surrounds, projector, screen, subs, etc.) and did not go crazy on other items that become obsolete relatively quickly (surround pre-amp, etc.). This platform will give him something to build on when he gets serious about 2 channel audio and I talk him into a world-class turntable That's when the Strads will find a way into this awesome room.

In all, I give it an A++.
