Very nice. One comment, make sure that you angle your center channel down towards the listening area. It will make a big difference. I had my VP150 above my screen, and the angle impacted the level of sound clarity and volume. I now have mine below the screen and like it even more. maybe you will just need to do dual centers...

Yeah the centre is aimed at the approximate area, will re-aim when I get the furniture in and know exactly where it is. And I did wire in for dual centres (at the advice of the good folks here), the other wire is inside the wall so I can pull it out if necessary. I also wired in for a second set of speakers above the mains (ceiling level), as well as 2 rear mounts if I ever want to go to a 7.1 system.

Fantastic room! Every time I see a nice room like that it make me start thinking about remodeling parts of my home. 
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Thats a good option to have, especially with a projection screen...I know that I love my dual centres putting the dialog right in the middle of the screen...

Very nice room and I love the natural light and ceiling. Have you listened to your system yet and if so, what are your impressions?

Have done a bit of listening, but haven't had a chance to balance anything yet. The centre and surrounds are way loud compared to the mains so I have some adjusting to do on my receiver. And I have a single line coming out for my sub from my receiver, but no single input on the sub itself (left and right RCA or mains), so I have to check the sub manual to find out if I can use a single input on the sub (since I probably want my receiver managing that rather than using the sub's cutoffs).
Still it sounds pretty darn good, I'm scared to crank up the sub too much though yet. My wife says she can hear it two floors up!

Yeah, my wife hated the SVS when it came in. Now it is located in a less obvious location in my theater so it isn't so bad.

Heh, yeah I told my wife that it's a home theatre so there's going to be some speakers around. She wants to lay it horizontally on the floor across the bottom of the screen, but I don't think that would work very well...
