I think cinemas put the center-speaker behind the screen, so I was thinking how it would influence the sound if I hid my VP150 behind the projector-screen. Would this disrupt the sound? Would it sound more like the sound was actually coming from the screen instead of above or below? I haven't bought the projector and screen yet so I can't just try it out :-)

a lot of people with projector screens do that. i personally dont have one, but i know that is a very common thing to do. in fact, the general belief is that it is better than putting the center channel above or below.
if you decide to do this, i think you will be perfectly fine. and the 150 is a great speaker. it does a great job of dispersing the sound.

But you have to get acoustically transparent fabric - thanks to Turbodog for this link to Dazian.

The link, or course, is mostly DIY stuff. There are companies that produce acoustically transparent screens as well.

You will need a perforated screen.

Yup, as these guys mentioned, acoustically transparent / perforated material is what you're looking for. All modern theaters put the left, right, center, AND subwoofer speakers behind the screen. Only the surrouds are visible to theater-goers.

I imagine the whole perforated screen thing works better at a theater where you have a big screen and sit way back so you can have reasonably large perfs in the screen and not notice...

Well, yeah... Is there a sacrifice in video quality by using those types of screens in a Home Theatre?

Dunno, I've never seen one
I did have a couple of friends who looked at the material (don't know brand or anything) and commented that the holes seemed pretty big... how's that for high quality information ?
