23-06-2014 1:03pmHey,
Looking at the following for the new house, have little experience with any of this so feedback would be appreciated.
Room is 400cm x 260 cm, one small window which I plan to get a blackout blind for. From my calculations, I'd be looking at a 92" screen.
Projector:
http://www.richersounds.com/product/...070/benq-w1070
Projector Screen:
A friend has recommended this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/PCW92ME-Proj.../dp/B001KMYLPC - do you have anything similar (requirement that it's motorised)
Sound:
I currently own this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-SC.../dp/B007O6FRD8 but not sure if it is up to scratch for the job at hand.
Peripherals - I'd be looking at having my Ps4 & a mini PC hooked up to the system as well.
Accessories:
I'd obviously be needing the requisite Projector mount (mounted from ceiling), cables etc.
On top of this I'm also looking at buying a sonos bridge, sonos 1 and a sonos 3 from you guys.
While I don't have a budget per se, I'm looking to keep it all as sensible as possible.
Thanks in advance.0

Thanks for getting in touch, and apologies about the delay in getting back to you.
Sounds like you've got a good spot there for a projector.
The BenQ is a fantastic projector, excellent choice for starting of in the world of projectors so you're grand there.
I'm not familiar with that screen, plus Amazon is saying it's not available. I'd recommend checking out Sapphire's projector screens, the quality of the screen is fantastic and they do a very good range of electric and manual screens. Check out the SEWS200RWSF-ATR. This is a 92" electric screen with an IR extender that can be set in the room anywhere so you'll have full control. Our current price on this screen is £399.95. Check the link below for more info:

Your Panasonic system actually isn't half bad at all, though an upgrade is always nice Plus while you're running cables etc for the projector you could get some decent speaker cable in, rather than the cable and clips Panasonic supply with their systems. This will give you more options for upgrading in the future. For something tasty you could check out the Yamaha RXV675 and Monitor Audio Mass 5.1 system at £799.00. This is a top class package and would go along nicely with your new projector set up The current price on this system is £799.00
http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/home-cinema-separates-bundle-deals/pah011370
We have projector brackets starting for £24.99 that would work fine with the BenQ
We supply HDMI cables starting from 1m and going up to 15m so we should be able to get you sorted there fine
Good choice on Sonos The bridge is currently £32.00, the Play 1 is £169.00 and the Play 3 is £249.00.
Let me know what you think.

Is there much difference in quality between these two:
http://www.richersounds.com/product/projector-screens-accessories/sapphire/sws200wsf-asr2/sapp-sws200wsf-asr2
and
http://www.richersounds.com/product/projector-screens-accessories/sapphire/sfsc203/saph-sfsc203
Would ideally not have a fixed screen but it is a possibility.
http://www.richersounds.com/product/projector-mounts/peerless/prgs-unv-w/peer-prgsunv-wht
Also looking at picking up a Sonos 1, Sonos 3 and a Sonos Bridge.
Could you pm me through a price for the lot of these? Would hope to drive up the M1 to pick it up this weekend potentially.

The two screens you have mentioned are a little different.
While one is fixed it also uses a different material for the screen which helps in the tension for keep it flat.
I've never seen the fixed screen in action.
Ill PM you with a price.0
