Fully soundproofed room. Pretty small at 11.5x17 due to a small house. Only seats 3, but that has never been a problem. Line arrays have 20 Aura NS3-193 drivers in each L/R and 12 in the center channel. Subs are 4 Adire Shivas in the front, sealed, and dual Dayton RSS315HF 12's on the right side. Used a calibrated microphone to measure and EQ the fronts and subs, then ran Audyssey for all the channels.
I've never been a huge fan of surround and don't think the extra 2 channels do much. I'd be perfectly happy with just 2 channels up front but when building this theater I said screw it, it will only be a few hundred more to add 2 more channels and just did it.
Projector is an Epson 8350 projecting onto an acoustically transparent Seymour AV 104" screen I built, which mounts in front of the center channel (you can see the four blocks it attaches to). I never took a completed picture but you can get the idea by looking at this:
So you are really running 5.1 right?
If you look at Kaido's post that I quoted, he said:
"Does 9.2 add a lot to the experience?"
I replied that I didn't think the extra 2 channels added much, compared to 7 channels of surround.
that is just it, from your post I only count 5.1. two front, one centre, two surrounds and a bunch of subs.
Dude, go back and read this post I made. I clearly state I have 9.2:

As of next week my answer will change to be Mad Max: Fury Road.
the scene where she goes rogue and drives into the sandstorm is insane.....dayum....

I saw it in 2007, will never ever rewatch it. I thought it was totally shitty.Once Upon a Time in America because it's one of the best movies ever made.
Tron: Legacy is a somewhat silly movie but an audio/visual tour de force.
Mad Max: Fury Road
This was impressive on my meager setup. The sound was like one of those old Memorex commercials with the dude in the chair. I usually have my volume at 50%, but had to drop it down to 30%. When I eventually get a house and buy new gear this will be the first movie I play.
Maxell <> Memorex
heh..I was thinking of the chair and the line 'Is it live or is it Memorex' came into my head. :biggrin:
Honestly I'd show gravity. That movie is amazing for a great audio and large screen immersive setup.
