I’ve got my RS400 and a panamorph 480 lens, currently with my 10+ year old DW laminate 130” Diagonal scope screen.
Just sold my front soundstage paradigm floorstanders and horizontal center, will be building diysg HTM-12’s as front soundstage, in a baffle wall for AT screen.
So my quandary.... build another curved screen, AT this time, this one slightly bigger 140” or so and use the 480 lens, or ditch the lens and memory zoom with flat AT screen?
To me it would depend most on if you can take the hit in brightness. The DW with curve and adding in the extra brightness the lens provided might be quite a bit more light than a DIY AT plus the extra screen size. What gain is the new AT material?
Then there is the attraction to the look of the curved screen.
I of course if redoing it all would go for a CIH+IMAX setup with zoom and AT screen material.
Unfortunately my ceiling height does not lend me to do CIH + IMAX .... yea that would be the cat's meow for sure.
When's your next HT major upgrade, seriously would you do it?
So many movies are in scope, while so few in IMAX .... just return on time and money investment ...
I agree with, bud, you are losing brightness just by going AT, regardless of size, so the curved screen with lens will bring you back to viewable range. Since you already have the equipment and the experience, I suggest you build one. It will have to be a different design, I assume, if you used laminate for a solid surface before.
Then post your progress so you can inspire me to get to work. And is there a thread for your laminate build?

Yea, I like the anamorphic lens plus curved screen ...
Just FYI, I held a gtg this Saturday 4/13 at my home, I’ll be going with the big HTM-12’s for my front 3 behind the AT screen
