I just thought I'd make a quick video to show what my home theater looks like.
To some not into the home theater hobby like I am, a 92" screen may seem big, but for a front projection set-up it really is on the smaller side. However, since I do not have a basement, and could only use my living room, I was limited to the size of the room. Right now, at 92", watching movies is comfortable, if I went too much bigger I'd start having to look from side to side like sitting in the front row of a movie theater and that's just no fun.
I am pretty happy with what I have, which took a few years to accumulate. I think my next upgrade will be getting a proper amp to run my center and rear channels. I'd like to go to a Widescope screen and use a Panamorph lens so I could have a constant height set-up, but I think I'll wait unitl I buy a house with a basement and can build a true theater room. Who knows, maybe not. ;)

Thanks for the compliment. My neighbor on the side of the house where my screen is can hear the sub in her house, but says she doesn't mind. I still try to be courteous and don't blast things too late in the night. :)
Because all of the lights are on and the front door is open letting in the sunlight. In normal viewing conditions, the picture is fantastic, not washed out at all.
At the time I bought the screen, I had a cheap projector that didn't put out a lot of lumens, so I needed a high gain screen. The Silver Star was kind of expensive. If I were to buy a new screen today, I woudn't need to go too expensive. In fact, since it hangs on the wall, I'd probably just paint a screeen on there. If I had a dedicated room, however, I'd get an accoustically transparent screen and then it'd go back to being expensive. :)
They're called Bass Shakers. You connect them to the subwoofer channel and they vibrate at the frequency being output. They provide a tactile feeling for the sub channel.
