I have already decided to purchase an electric acoustically transparent screen. This would drop down in front of the center channel and plasma screen in our den.

Now, I have two options. Go with a 92" screen that would come down and sit just above the left and right channel. Keep in mind this would make the screen higher than advised. Or a 103" screen that would come down in front of the left and right channel. The catch with the 103" is that the bottom velvet border and batten would be 1.8" which would block a part of the speaker/speakers.

Other than using an AT screen will I notice a big difference when I'm blocking small portion of speaker like that? Should I play it safe and still with a 92"?

The screen comes highly recommended: http://seymourav.com
