Potato,
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Building a fabric wall would bring the screen forward too much and the front seats would then sit too close.
I was suggesting a skeleton structure to hold the speakers that was very open.
The screen would sit on the drywall but I would build two towers out of 2x2s that would hold the speakers at the right height but would otherwise be totally open. These would be covered with black acoustic fabric around the whole thing. They would sit on either side of the screen. The center channel and sub would be in another open skeleton below the screen but this one would have wood on top to support the weight of someone sitting on it. The top center speaker would probably also live in a similar fabric box.

Ahh, I see, so you want to build the speaker frames out and around the screen, gotcha. Most people just build a wall the whole way across and put the speakers behind the screen. I don't know that you would want to only run the center behind the screen and leave the other two only behind the acoustic fabric.

I was thinking something like this theater. Instead of the step in front, it would have a bench across the front, giving more room for a low center channel and some serious bass. His speaker cabinets seem to be closed on the side. I would want to leave the sides open so the speakers don't get boomy. It would look identical because it would be covered with fabric. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=996159

That's one sweet looking HT!!!! One question, I thought I read in here somewhere that the QS8's should be 2 feet from the ceiling, is that correct?

Is he putting in shelves and the acoustic cloth just for the speakers?
Why not go with the W22 & w100/150. You can paint the front face and grill cloth to match the wall colour. Someone here has already done that and it looks great.
I have dual M2s as centers and they work very well.

Because he still needs a place to hide the sub. Because he likes the look of an inset screen, and because he wants the flexibility to upgrade audio if he ever wanted to. We thought about it and I even have some posts on this forum about it but once we saw that theater build with the shelves we thought it looked nicely finished. Better than just a blank wall with 3 speakers hanging on it. Plus, they hide the sometimes awkward looking vertical center if that is what we decide to go with. The wall will be black so there would be no need to paint. What speakers are you using for your mains paired with the m2s?

M80s. I couldn't resist.
If the walls and shelves are black and he gets black speakers, I don't think that he will need the screen. He could always start without and put it up if needed.

Judging from Axiom's own ceiling mount brackets for the QS8s, it looks like you only need 5-6 inches....mine are about 1 ft. but it's possible that some people preferred the way they sounded with a little more space above them.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
