Ok, so here's the setup so far. I'm chomping at the bit to upgrade the front monitor 50's, but I'm also currently working on a riser behind the theater seats, painting the room a dark, non-gloss color, DIY sub....you know how it goes! :D

60" at about 8 feet away - I'm actually standing behind the theater seats and shooting over the backs, so the depth of the room looks longer. I've been playing with distance on the chairs and setting up the best possible sound-field. I've been thinking about which color to paint the interior walls of the room - but this is what it looks like at full luminance from the two torch lamps.

The rack - The rack used to be this brushed steal color and it matched my Sony Wega 3LCD HDTV....but those days are gone - so I took some black, non-gloss spraypaint to the racks and it made a HUGE difference. The Rack used to look fuller with the H/K AVR154, but now that I've got the Marantz slimline, everything has more breathing room - at first it took some getting used to, but it has really grown on me.

Seating arrangement - snagged these three reclining theater seats on craigslist for a steal! I have painted two high-back barstools for the riser that I am currently working on. The plan is to build the riser with a round barstool table in the middle - so when you want to eat and watch movies, you won't be eating on the leather seats. It'll also allow more seating. Here you can also see the RM6750 satellite being put to good use, using the paramount by peerless wall and ceiling mounting arms.
The bag drapes covering the large picture window is the Kohl's special - light cancelling, sound deadening curtains x 4. However, we all know that they work maybe 75% of the time....that's why I lined the glass window with DIY window tint - no more sunlight (since that's the east window)

Here's another angle, as we can see...this is the MAN-ROOM! LOL! On the other side of the room, we have the poker table, hanging light and poker memorabilia. You can also see how most of the HT-Room stays dim even when the poker light is on. this picture has my old AVR154 and a little re-arranged rack. You can also see that this was before I got the CS1 for the center - but once those pieces were in place, I did alittle re-arranging to the way it is now.

Another view of the other-end of the Man-Room. I have moved the cabinet humidor into the formal living room to allow more breathing space for the weekly poker games...that and I didn't want my friends jacking all my cigars!!!

Still a work in progress, but loving the direction it's going in....God, what a hobby!
