Hi everyone I am brand new here and I look forward to becoming a part of this community. So currently I am getting my basement finished and putting in a home theater. It will be nothing to extravagant due to the size of the room and the budget. First off I have decided on a 92" fixed screen since the ceiling is about 8 ft high and we will be sitting about 10 feet back. I thought anything larger than this would be to much. Any recommendations on what brand of screen I should go with? Second Im leaning towards getting an Epson projector for around or under $2000 but not sure which model. Any recommendations you can offer on a projector would be great as well. Lastly Im looking at doing 7.1 in wall speakers. I want to keep all 7 speakers to around $1000. Currently I have a 10" Klipsch Sub and Pioneer Receiver which is what I will use for now. I do have the 5 klipsch quintet small speakers with the sub but I do not feel those speakers will handle what I am wanting to achieve. As far as what I will be using the home theater for..gaming (Ps3 and 360), blu ray movies and some sporting events. Look forward to hearing from you guys!

For speakers, take a look at the PSB and Monitor Audio specials here-

Saturday Audio (http://saturdayaudio.com/)

Crutchfield also has some very good prices on PSB, even better than Saturday Audio

In-wall Speakers at Crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com/g_12600/In-wall-Speakers.html?tp=192)

Also consider Martin Logan in wall speakers. They sound crystal clear.

Boston Acoustics and Polk make some cheaper alternatives.
