Actually, mine is 16' wide and 25' deep, so it's long and skinny, not short and fat. Are you (gonk) familiar with Bohlender-Graebner or just checking out the 420i from their site?

There is a "Phase 6": Add an Odessey Audio DAC and Tempest preamp, with HT Bypass (for serious audio listening), and a second custom subwoofer. About $3400.

Phase 7 might involve retiring the Carver ALS, replacing them with Radia 520i for the theater L+R (including each one's biamp-wired Stratos Plus), adding Radia 420i to replace the moved 520i (with a Stratus Mono for each), *and* a pair of Odessey Lorelei for Audio-only stereo mains. Lesse: $2800 for the 420i, $2800 for the Lorelei, 2X1100 for the monoblocks = $7800. I don't think I will reach "Phase 7" any time soon. Depends on how much I like the Carver ALS for movies and music. (Both the Carver and the Lorelei are full-range speakers - a rare breed these days).

I could save some money by going with all Odessey Audio speakers: Lorelei + two (5.1) or four (7.1) Nightingales. But, I've come to like the dispersion pattern of ribbon drivers, and they work well in otherwise "bright" (due to hardwood floors) rooms.

I think I might be tempted to replace the screen before I did that, though (and am torn between an LCD or a projector). I'd be happy with a 30" LCD for casual viewing if it did 72Op, and a screen/projector for the "real, movie, experience". The 32" Sony HD CRT is fine, but it is both too big and too small for the room at the same time.
