I am looking at getting a Mits HC9000C or a JVC RS60. A couple of questions. Can I assume the shorter the throw distance the brighter the picture? Max throw distance in this room would be 15 feet. Also, the projects say they can adjust for horizonal and verticle angles. I am sure thats true, but does it effect the picture quality vs head on?
PLB, I appreciate the warning. While I am new to projectors, I am not new to HT and all the things you mentioned, just projectors. Unfortunately I am at that 2-3 year urge to upgrade point. I have went from RPTVs to LCDs to Plasmas and was considering a Laservue vs a projector. Add that to multiple receivers and speaker upgrades, etc. Plus I can get the Mits and JVC for significantly less than retail through my Direct Buy membership. Part of me likes the no hassel factor of that or maybe even their 82" or 92" models if I am putting towers and sub up front anyhow. It's not a big room 13x16, but I figured I could put 106" screen in.
I need to look at more pictures of HTs to see what people do about speaker placement around a large screen. I will not be doing in-walls and I really don't want on-walls, but I want a nice streamlined front to look at. I am considering going with no CC because it appears the screen will be less than 24" from the ground.
Oh, I also forgot to mention my real downside in going with one of the giant Mits TVs. When this upgrade bug hits again it will be real obvious to my wife as I try and change things in an out. I can probably sneek a new projector in and she will never know the difference.

Don't rule out in-wall speakers. They solve a lot of problems and there are good in-wall speakers out there. Good in-wall speakers usually cost more money, but it gives you a clean look and takes up little space in a small room. They also allow you to have correct speaker placement using an AT screen. An in-wall speaker usually has less problems with room interations compared to a box speaker. The better in-wall speakers are designed with an enclosure. Look at Triad; http://www.triadspeakers.com/products/iwg6lcr.html and RBH: http://www.rbhsound.com/inwall_ref.php . I am very familiar with the RBH speakers. I use the SI-760's in one of my rooms.
You are right, they do have their advantages. I would want a sealed inwall though. I tried out a 3-way Sonance one time and thought they sounded very good; very detailed. If I did go with in walls what do you think about Atlantic Tech? I am looking at thesehttp:// www.atlantictechnology.com/default.asp?NodeId=134 I can get great deals on Atlantic Tech, Polk, JBL, Boston Acoustics, Canton and Jamo too.
