Thanks for the good thoughts! I've done a lot of research on this stuff. The 4805 was definitely the way to go for the price of $1400, which included the 16x9 screen. It's a starter screen. I plan on making my own bigger screen later, if the 76" doesn't cut it. I've read that there are a few paints over at Home Depot that produce very nice screens. One of which is Behr Silversceen. I've got some notes somewhere which use that mixed and layered with other colors.
My projector is 12 ft from the screen. The couch is at 11 ft. Screen door effect is visible up close, but is invisible from the couch. In the store, I saw a demo with a 108" screen. Sitting about 10 ft away, the screen door was faintly visible but not annoying in the least.
I can't wait to set up the sound tonight. I run a mix of Totem and Dynaudio speakers thru 2 amps, a Rotel 2-channel and an Acurus 3-channel. I also have a baby Sunfire subwoofer. It shakes the family room, but probably won't even move air in my bomb-shelter-like basement.
