Nice setup. I like the color scheme. My room is a similar size. My only suggestion would be to mask the screen for 2.35:1 and take advantage of sony's remote vertical shifting. I have a velvet mask that drops from the top to hide the black bars. Then I shift the image down. Cheap and effective.

I like the look of that projector and the Klipsch sub too. The sub goes really well with the room.
