Cant sleep either huh?:D

Its a an 80x45in Da-Lite Model B and I got it through the same guys I got the PJ from. Meritec in Blackrock Co. Dublin.
If you are having the PJ in a dedicated room you should think about a DIY fixed screen(ie sheet of MDF cut to measure painted Dulux Ice Storm 5&6) This light grey matt paint is supposed to increase contrast and reduce screendoor/chicken wire effect. Anyway you should do a search at http://www.avforums.com for screens and DIY. Plenty of info over there and its much busier there too.

irish1 I'm not saying not to go for the Elac speakers but I'm a big mission fan.

As you say the Mission FS2AV might not carry the power you are looking for but the Mission M72 Cinema Pack has a powerfull punch - read here.
I have the Mission cinema 9 pack (older version of the M74 cinema pack). I have to say it is superb. One huge advantage of the mission speakers is the rear speakers (M7DS) are bipole speakers which means the sound is "fired" in 2 directions. This means the speakers do not have to be placed at the conventional back of the room in the corner... (although I think the Eltac rears are bipole as well).

You should also check out the KEF KHT2005 which were Whathifi's cinema speaker product of the year last year. You can read/see them
here.
