Looks like the stars have aligned.
We should have the screen up by the end of the day.

Last night  Before we started  Just about there...  Release  Its a kids show but they were watching it with me so its all good. I placed a few Safe and Sound batts around the room, quite a few actually. It did work. 2.0 is nice. Definitely noticed the sound of drums change. Still like 2.0 better for music. Not quite where it was on one hand but I made a few huge improvements today. The screen is 128x76 but I ended up scaling it back down to around 100 inches diagonally. Will toy with it some more as time allows.

The changes worked. 2.0 is imaging very nicely.
I haven't re ran YPAO but probably should. The subs sound good during game play but when listening to tunes I have them at -10.

 Never did listen with them like this, just thought it was a cool picture.

Yesterday I posted I'd be happy with 11.1 and I would be, no doubt. It was meant as a joke, to some extent.
Really, I should say I'm very impressed with how well the 3 towers work in my room with subs but no surrounds in the mix.
Several times now we've turned of the surrounds off while watching content off the satellite, keeping "Drama" as the output on the AVR.
In turn I've also lowered the volume from my typical -20 for movies to the -30 I'd otherwise use for 2.0 music (when its just me and my selection of music). I might adjust the volume a little depending on the loudness of the commercials or the quietness in the program but -30 is an average we've learned to enjoy in this quite room with the nice imaging/fullness/realism/surround we're experiencing.
The boys have logged much more time than me in this new room than me, all 3.1 listening (except with the PS4 which outputs 7.1 in pure direct).
Good news, very happy with the HP's.
Bad news, at -30, I'm probably only using 1 watt per channel from my ADA.
Good news, I still own an ADA and may even consider another so I can add a XMC-1 to the mix.
Will need to get through a few movie nights to see if I can find a happy medium between the imaging from the front and the addition of surrounds first.

The electrical engineer needs to come in before we hold the new sheetrock and I've requested the new specialist to remove and protect the standing and walking wall the next day after mid-day while we delay.

The sound must be amazing in your room. I would have loved to of had the space for three towers as LCR behind my screen.
