I live in a house where one room has an oversized wall (image below); it was a 60s design that had a mid-level. You can't do much with it, so after years of having this big blank IMAX-like wall, I finally convinced my wife to allow me to install a projector. Well, the projector led to speakers, which led to an A/V receiver, which led to....you get the gist. Here's the current configuration:
I didn't get a screen - honestly, the projector is so bright and the wall imperfections small enough that the image looks sharp, bright and with clean whites & blacks.
THOUGHTS:
Music sounds great. Videos do at around 60/100 setting, but don't want to shake the room too much. I likely need to optimize the system and given the large space, I am considering a second sub which would be set up diagonally to the other. Video is awesome.
I'm not a huge fan of the remote - seems to lose communication with the devices every so often which makes it a little moot. May look at an upgrade.
QUESTIONS:
1. I've got an LCD TV in the room at a 90-degree angle - can that be setup with a 2nd Apple TV to its own remote to avoid confusing the remotes? I use a sound bar for that system.
2. The room is a bit large and the ceiling throws off the sound a bit. I haven't optimized a bit, but other than the dinky mics that came with the Marantz, is there a good way to optimize the sound for the space or any aftermarket products for doing so? How about the benefits of a 2nd sub?
3. What's missing to make it a dream system?
