I'm setting up a home theatre in my house living room, I recently bought a Denon avr-s720w receiver, a 10" Klipsch subwoofer, a Pioneer sp-c22 centre channel speaker, and I already had some old but good condition Paradigm Phantom and Titan speakers to use as front l/r and surround l/r. The sound is good under some conditions, but the setup needs a bit of work and more $$$ to be excellent. Using a small LED monitor now until I select a big TV or video projector. 2017 TVs becoming available soon.

A few questions:
- how good is the sound from Netflix? I'm using an Apple TV as source, wi-fi connection to internet, I plan on a wired connection later in hopes that might remove a possible bottleneck and maybe get me improved video and audio quality. Quality seems ok now but I am wondering if audio from a movie blu-ray is much better.
- I am thinking my old Paradigm speakers have degraded with age, they don't sound really good anymore, they are 25 years old. No obvious major audio defects but I am thinking about replacing them with KEF Q series speakers.
- I was previously thinking of a 65" 4K tv but now have been considering a 1080P projector such as the BenQ HT2050 since it can produce a 100" image at low cost. Viewing distance about 11 feet. I use a LED tv in another room for daytime news viewing and would use the HT room at night for movies, science/nature documentary programs, etc.

Comments welcome, any projector users out there?
