Any other brothers have a theater room... i need some advice and ideas!!!!

[Daviso27]

Now that I have a larger home, I got my hands on a HD projector and setup a theater room. I got a large couch, and a massage chair and a bar table with 2 stools, a mini-fridge... The picture is projecting on the wall... I have no screen, but the picture looks very good. i was told that the picture will be clearer and brighter if I get the wall painted with projector paint or if I buy a screen. I have black-out curtains on the windows, however some light does leak through the sides. I plan to maybe tint the windows, but the wife says she would rather not, because the room will also be used as a lounge area for parties and she likes the view out to the lake. My camera is f$# so I will try to post some pics so you can see what I mean... If anyone has any suggestions or ideas to make this room "boom!" let me know!!!

Media Rack/ right now I have a DVD player and my reciever running a 2.1 dolby.... Im waiting to upgrade.

Get on C.L. and start looking for a Bose acoustimass 16 set used. Look and look. There always on there. Find someone w a receipt for date and authenticity. Low ball the. If not keep looking there always on there. I'm not the biggest fan of Bose( they have a hard time reproducing very low freq and mid range from cubes) But over all your not dropping 3 or 4 k on towers which to most (and your wife) will not be very pleasing and aestetic. So basically for the money, its a very good system unless you want to be snooty like me. I dont care if my wife says towers look ugly. When BB King live is on there's nothing else like hearing Lucille wail thru my set of Boston Accoustics. (which are no where topend but fit my budget the #1 rule!)
David hope this helps!
