I noticed the same thing. M80's are HUGE, and they look quite small in that picture. That screen must be a monster!

Looks like the windows have a little tint on them. You cannot under estimate the effect that stuff has. We tinted the windows at our house with the least dark stuff they had and it works awesome. Keeps glare down and such, but more importantly keeps heat out. Critical when you live on the edge of the desert. Not a factor in Canada, eh?

My understanding from Amie's previous post is that the huge window is facing a LAKE!!! So, I guess it's VERY dark at night even without window treatments. And if you live in such a nice location, why would you ever want to watch crappy movies during daytime???
[why am I filling in here for Amie...? LOL]

Kudos and math honours to the first person who extrapolates the size of their big screen based on the M80s in front.

In reply to:

Assuming that the screen was ONLY used for movies, then i would have to answer this question by saying:
Star Wars all day marathon
Star Trek all day marathon
Indiana Jones all day marathon
.....etc etc
Assuming the screen were used for both tv and movies, then of course, during the day use would HAVE to cover the football season!!

M80s are about 40" tall. The screen looks about 50% taller than the speakers, or about 60". One of Da-Lite's standard sizes is 58" x 104", for a diagonal of 119". I bet that's what they have.

Jason sounds right. Here is my beloved screen with a 119"-diagonal viewing area.
My Hales fronts are about the same size as the M80.
I just need 5 more speakers!!!

WOW! That's worth the three hour drive to Dallas to see! (Assuming you wouldn't mind if I dropped by).
