My experience, go 7.1 only if the rear wall is at least 2m behind your seats. Otherwise, it is very difficult to balance the rears/sides, it is format (es,ex,neo6...) dependant. Or 6.1 with one speaker on the floor firing toward the ceilling behind a sofa (no direct sound).

Errr, when the screen's in place, how do you get in or out of the room?
The door isn't the access into the room, it just leads to a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom (the extension was designed as a master bedroom suite but we're using it for AV). There is another bathroom just outside the other end of the room if anyone needs!
Projector: Optima Themescene H30
Screen: 7ft wide Draper Luma
DVD: Pioneer DV565A
Amp: Denon 2803
Speakers: Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3B
Subwoofer: REL Quake
I haven't decided whether to go 5.1 or 7.1 yet. I'm going to experiment with a spare pair of speakers before I decide whether to get speakers for the side walls.

I'm "relieved" to hear you have access!
That Pioneer DVD565 has to be bargain of the century - I got one multiregion for £198 and I am very pleased with it.
I'll be interested to hear your views on 7.1 as I am currently using 5.1 with my AV2 etc.
I'll need another 150 to go 7.1 unfortunately.
Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......
