Hello Steve,

I agree with the others on the general layout. One must also consider what type of system it's going to be before other desisins can be made.

Do you want to go for a 7.1 ch setup? What level are you aiming for in your sound system? Do you want to hide your speakers or do you like big honking speakers all over (like me!!)?

I think a bar between the doors on the back wall would be cool, and could be made to work, as the room is a pretty good size.

Do you plan on building a stage or just wall mounting the screen? This will affect screen size as well as the general feel of the room (living space versus dedicated theater).

There are a lot of informative threads on screen size, and the general concensus seems to be that it's best to start big and go smaller if you don't like the results.
