But then again, I said she could have one of the spare bedrooms as a walk-in wardrobe, so there's some give & take there!

However as has been stated, it will take some serious power to fill that room at reference level. The large windows also wont do you any favours. The Epson projectors you mentioned are very good however all projectors need a dark room to really look their best. The glass also sucks bass out of a room. The bass goes straight through it and isn't contained within the room so you will need to make sure you don't skimp in the subwoofer dept. Good curtaining will help in both regards (not so much with the bass) The epson tw5500 has anamorphic scaling built in so allows you to go full anamorphic by just adding an anamorphic lens. You could buy a seperate scaler and the tw3500 and get a similar result. Once you've seen full cinemascope you just wont want to go back. It should be awesome when you get it finished. Just make sure you do that beautifull space justice.

Ive got a friend who is an airbrush artist (does movie sets and stuff).. so thinking of getting the whole room (including the ceiling) done in a 'Roman' type theme.. but keeping it dark. Id say I will go an electric 120-130 inch screen.. would like to go 150" but I've been told that might be too big for the epson?? not sure duel subs for sure.. i can see the advantage. Thanks again for the info everyone.. I will post updated pics soon Cheers Cameron I would say both styles you have pictured are steel. The lower chord of the first pic would be a massive lump if made using timber considering the size of the rafters.
