Looking for some help on what to do about the center channel. I have read a couple threads about the center placement with screens and most of the advice was to go with a AT screen and that the audio gains offset the minimal picture loss of an AT screen. I believe a lot of this advice was comparing a "normal" screen vs a AT screen. Not sure how this would apply when dealing with an ambient light situation.
My theater space is closed in on three sides and does not have much direct light and at night can have none at all. The issue I have, and why I have been targeting the Slate screen by SI, is that we often have people over for football games and I would like to keep the lights up during these events.
Layout of my basement can be found here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/68-di...1618-basement-layout-will-projector-work.html
Basement has 9' ceilings. Couch will be more centered than the pic shows and the 115" screen will be where it says TV. Also, I am moving the equipment and going in wall for the front speakers so the two closets shown on the drawing will not be there. For football games the couch and the bar over looking the theater area will be in use.
Screen size:
115" Diag
101" W
57" H
Looking for advice on how to have great performance (audio and visual) when watching movies at night, while having a very good experience when leaving the lights up and watching the game with a large group.
Maybe it isn't this simple, but:
Thoughts or advice?
Thank you!

Maybe it isn't this simple, but:
- AT screen with the speakers located behind
- Slate screen with the center high
- Slate screen with the center low
Thoughts or advice?
