Good morning, folks. New here, but I've been dabbling for more than a decade in the budget space. I am about to reclaim and re-purpose attic space to install a front projection system. Preliminary drawings show a finished room size of approximately 13.5' in width and 16-22' in length of usable space (ceiling height 9')
The new space will be right above my existing office, so not too worried about sound proofing. I still plan to insulate below the floor, though. There are no rooms on either side of the proposed room since it's going into an existing dormer, but that right-hand wall is just above the wall of one of the bedrooms.
Thoughts and questions:
Thanks in advance.

The new space will be right above my existing office, so not too worried about sound proofing. I still plan to insulate below the floor, though. There are no rooms on either side of the proposed room since it's going into an existing dormer, but that right-hand wall is just above the wall of one of the bedrooms.
Thoughts and questions:
- Best size screen? I'm guessing 120" diagonal.
- Should I use any special sound-absorption material in the walls?
- This will be cross-functional as a bedroom for resale, so planning a full egress that the drop-down screen will cover when in use
- Existing setup in my gameroom is 7.1.2 with speakers in the ceiling, but I plan to run 7.1.4 in the new space that I will pre-wire. My current receiver is a Marantz SR6012. I was hoping that I could run 7.2.4, but according to the specs, I'm maxed at 7.1.4 for independent channels.
- Existing TV is a 75" Samsung Q7F from 2017. I may use this temporarily, but it doesn't do well without ambient light since it's edge lit (in retrospect, I should have gone full array - OLED was out of reach budget-wise at the time). I'll have fully-controlled lighting in the new space.
Thanks in advance.
