    Hey,

    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.

    Hi Shout,

    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:

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/projector-screens-accessories/sapphire/sews200rwsf-atr/saph-sews200rwsf-atr

    Your Panasonic system actually isn't half bad at all, though an upgrade is always nice :p  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.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your reply, I may stick with my current audio system if you think it's suitable, but will be in touch in a few weeks about picking up the rest of the stuff from you guys.

    So looking at picking up the following:

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/...070/benq-w1070


    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.


    Thanks

    Hi Shoutman.

    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.
