Thats what, I always wanted.
Let me talk to the guy tomorrow and ask if atleast a thin wall can be placed in the middle , so the room gets to 14 x 20.

I see.. Actually, the room size is going to be 20 x 20 , which is really huge .
I said the contractor to make it 14x20 , so we can have a tunnel type room and would be very nice.
But he denied, as the pillar has to be on the foundation pillar only
So, 20 x 20 . So, if we put on a 150 screen, that like using 11feet of the wall and other 9 feet looking like a empty space.
So, 4.5feet space on each side.
Isnt that a lot of free space ?
You can build a false gypsum wall.
More than 150" screen, you are stretching it quite a bit. Unless, you are okay watching dim picture.
Yeah, an almost wall to wall screen should give you a better illusion of a theater than a 11' screen on a 20' wall. If you really want a bigger screen, you should look at other PJs with higher lumens output. Like benq w7000. Twice as bright as compared to epson tw8100 in 2d mode (calibrated). Unfortunately, that 2d brightness doesn't translate into 3d. Epson is noticeably brighter (acc to reviews) in 3D mode. Read the full review here. BenQ W7000 Projector Home Projector Review - Overview
Another thing to note is this benq model is almost a year old. So a newer version is expected to arrive soon enough. That might bridge the gap in its 2D and 3D performance.
Anyways, keep us posted about how it went with the contractor

Soamz,
The fact is that there are too many threads, it is just that you have to search them rightly.
A proper false ceiling is nearly a must especially for dedicated movie room so please do make such a ceiling and by the way which things are not available in India?
It is very good that you will be going for a wall to wall carpet. You can also go for a white sheet below the carpet.
It is likely better to have walls softer by using fabric, glass wool etc as used in many multiplexes and done by several forum members too. Generally hard surfaces like a wall etc may not be good for sound effects. If you still want to go for a wall paper then one may get acoustic wall papers in main metro cites or you can import it from abroad. The problem with black wall paper could be that it may spoil the decor of room while there are acoustic tiles available in black but again the same issue of decor.

Vinay, thanks for your input.
Im right now making the whole plan and then will make a new thread and then will discuss over there , how everything has to be from the start of the construction.

Soamz,
It is a very wise strategy about blank room.
You can do many more tests like seating in terms of placement, the space which it will occupy between the rows keeping in mind that there should be enough leg space while importanlty more space has to be there because these reycliners can go 75% flat for a comfort viewing while you can check how many recliners the room can take without room looking congested and still look classy while you can also test how near will be the first recliner because all have different preferences be it 3 to 20 feet.
There will be many more opportunities to test the blank room so that minimum goes wrong in the final stages of your proposed marvel entertainment room.

Exactly.. This is the reason, I havent yet started the construction. I want to have everything planned and tested before I start the construction. It wont take more than 2 months, once I start.
I will first get the projector, do all the tests, get everything confirmed with you guys here, then talk to my local vendors for all the materials and price, then finally start next month.

Yes.. That will really help.. Who are they guys ?
Soamz,
It may not be a good idea to have such a huge screen based on your room length.
The 17 feet in actual would be 14/15 feet keeping in mind that you will leave some space from the rear wall. While the 2nd row of recliner will be only at 11/12 feet, will your family members and guests like to watch from such a close distance?
While i am aware that some advocate to watch from 6/8 feet even if that means a huge 120/150 inch screen, so you have to take a call in the right direction because you should not regret later on. In other words i think people like to watch from close distance because they may not have a choice as their room is likely not bigger length wise. The point is if they had a bigger room length would they still sit closer to the huge screens of 120/150 inches?

Keeping the screen size as constant , 150 inch screen, what room size do you recommend ?
It would be my friends and office staff enjoying movies with me mostly and Im thinking to get small recliners like you see in the multiplexes. So, 2 rows, 4 in a row.

Soamz,
The small seats are very good of which you can consider to have in 2nd row while the huge posh recliners of Lazyboy you can have in the last row for you and family members.
About the room size, you have to take a call of which you can realize once you do the test runs by watching several full movies. One of the member recently wrote that he also conducted test run on these lines to determine the screen he wants.

Acoustic wallpaper and tiles? Now I can't really go for carpets or glass wool on the walls in my room but the idea of acoustic wallpaper and tiles sound interesting. Any idea if these actually work? And to what degree?
Nsinghal,
One of the manufacturer of acoustic ceiling tiles is Armstrong brand, they have dealers in most metro cites.
The wall paper has some acoustic properties of which i had seen during the making of my Mini Theater, the details of which you will have to search on Internet. We can safely assume that acoustic wall papers will be better then the bare walls or a routine wall paper.
