Hi folks
Wondering if some of you would be so kind as to help me out.
I had a home cinema room in my last house which I used lots and loved it, I had -
Panasonic PT AE 700 projector
KEF 2005.1 speakers
Yamaha amp ( can't remember the model )
Rf electric 80" drop down screen
I used it mainly for watching sky tv, movies and the odd call of duty session on my PS3
I built a new home which I moved into this year I have a room setup to be a cinema, I have -
Yamaha RXV 777 amp
B&W CWM 362 speakers x 7
KEF 250w subwoofer x 2
One wall painted with pourascreen paint
The only item I need to complete my setup is a projector, I don't want to spend more than about £1800 ( less is ok ) , I'll be using for same use as previous sky, movies, PS3. I'd like the projector to be whisper quiet my previous Panasonic could generate quite a lot of fan noise.
I'd like to stick with LCD rather than DLP.
The room is 5m x 5m, so the projector will be 5m from the screen but in the centre. I'll need to use vertical lens shift as when on the shelf the lens will be 2150 off the floor, screen centre will be 1450.
I can go 280cm horizontally and 190cm vertically so one of those maximums will determine the screen size.
I had been looking at the Sony HW40 but it has been out for a while now maybe some other brand's newer models would be better ? Any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
