Sense check - what would you do?
Always been my dream to have a fully dedicated cinema room, now coming close to a reality - but its daunting with so much information and want to get it right.
I have put in what I have been thinking to make the most of the room.
I am happy to board up the back door but definitely want to keep the working fireplace, along with the window (will update the blinds to be full blackout). The room is pretty dark throughout the day already, and would be even more so without the back door. Also happy to get rid of the cabinets at the front so that could just about get a side speaker at ear level instead. The beams on the ceiling are not structural but I do also like them.
Question 1 - Is this layout optimal?
Question 2 - I am thinking go all out with a 7.2.2 system, what would you recommend for this? Intrigued on budget, how far would £5k go for this?
Question 3 - TV and TV size. In this layout the seating is 3m(9.9ft) back, I want this for movies so do want a Sony but the largest available is the 77" A95L. Is it worth going up to a LG G5/6 83"?
Question 4 - Any suggestions on room treatment to make the most out of the sound system?
