Nick, can't you simply stop with nothing other than using just the VP150(preferably stood upright)for TV sound?
It is called an addiction. LOL
Since you have a kick-ass system right next door, any serious movie watching will be done in there. I would keep it as simple as possible.
You nailed it. If you had nothing to compare it to then probably none of this would even be up for discussion BUT, the problem is you do in the next room so it will be a matter of biting the bullet and deciding exactly what that new television is for and nothing more, otherwise, the same equipment merry go round will start again. It will, of course, be a decision of monumental proportions.
I am contemplating purchasing a front projection unit with a "pull-down" or even perhaps a motorized screen over the existing monitor so I can use the same existing equipment in the same position, otherwise, I would more than likely fall in to the same trap of "trying" to build another HT room in which the WAF would be non-existent.
