Everything is relative; for my 110" screen & projector, my viewing sweet spot is 139" away from it.
My audio is then built around that figure.

I've decided to split the 26' long HT room into 10' "high" and 16' "low" level with a 12" drop with steps on both sides. This way I should have enough room for 2 channel sweet spot on the first level and rear seating on the second level.
I figure the Sasha or Maxx 3... will be about 10-11 ft apart to give them space away from the side walls of 2.5-3' each and the 1.2 ratio of width to the listening spot will put me at roughly 12-14 ft plus the 2 or 3 feet for the speakers away from the back wall puts me at 16' or so. Hopefully the screen of about 110" will make sense with the approx 18' viewing distance from the back seats. If anyone has any other suggestion or if I am off with my calculations/plan please speak NOW!

I've decided to take a different approach after thinking it over. Considering that it will be my immediate family only in the theater 98% of the time, the floor will be poured flat with the concrete slab being an extra 12" thick for vibration dampening. This will allow me to use a sectional sofa or something along those lines and not being locked in to a specific distances because of the bi-level floor.
Since 2 channel will still take precedence over the multi-channel in that room, I thought it would be more important to have the freedom for both speaker to listening spot and video viewing distance. The room will be acoustically treated with 2 channel performance in mind. I will probably use ASC products extensively with decorative moulding and trim to dress it up. Here is the sectional that caught my eye. Functional, comfortable and I like the storage bins to hide the remotes.

Serge, that sounds like a good plan that fits your priorities. What does your timing look like at this point?

I do have time to think things through of what will actually be but the floor I did have to decide on since it will be poured soon.

Serge,
Looks good. Having built 4 new homes with basements here are a few suggestions. I would recommend putting in the rough drainage pipes now before they poor the floor for a bathroom, at this stage PVC pipe is all you need and it's cheap. If not done already, put in a french drain to keep your basement dry.
