Hi All,
This is my first post and I was looking for some opinions on my home cinema project.
I had bought a Optoma UHD51 last year with the view to installing it in our new house. The room is quite small only 3m X 3.5m. When we moved in, I quickly set everything up just to test out. I'm using a 110" elite screen with a Denon AVRX2300W and Wharfedale 5.1 system, all salvaged from our old living room. This has worked well as a temporary solution and although I want to keep everything on a relatively tight budget, I would like to make some improvements and have someone professionally install the kit.
I've attached a couple of photos and a 360 image (don't know how well that will work) of the room in it's current state.
I've spoken to several contractors and got some varying ideas. the plan is to move the screen to cover the window on the opposite side of the room. We are limited on this side of the room for seating due to the door, so moving the seating to the other side will allow for a row of 4 recliners:

All of the AV kit, the Denon AVR, Apple TV 4k, Shield and Sky Q will all live in an empty cabinet next door in the Living room, with HDMI and speakers cables running through the wall.
Initially I wanted to upgrade the speakers to either Monitor Audio bronze or Q acoustics 3050i, but one of the contractors discussed the possibility of using in wall/ceiling speakers. 3 X Monitor audio W-150LCR's at the front and 4 X C165's in the ceiling for surround and Atmos. This appeals to me, because I have very limited space and 3 young children who love to get their hands on shiny speakers, but I'm worried about the difference in quality between the in wall or floorstanders.
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks
