My First OverHead Projector


I have been playing with the idea of finally adding an overhead projector to my dedicated music listening room. The room is 17.5 w x 26 L x 9 h. I have two sets of speakers in the room, (1)Magnepan 3.6's which are approx six feet into the room from the short wall and four feet from the side wall, (2) Klipschorns which sit in the corners of the same short wall.

I could hang a screen on the short wall and have about six feet of viewing space between the 3.6's. Or, if I run the projector I can easily slide the Maggies to the side and open-up the entire space (which I do often when playing the KHorns).

Question is, what projector should I consider? I would consider buying something used to get started. Also, what is a good screen option?

I would look at the epson 5010 or 6010 at 2400 lumins it is one of the hot projectors right now. Panasonic 7000 is nice same chip they use the epson chip. Jvc 4k are really nice but not much light output. However there are a lot of factors, screen size, 3d? Ambient light? I tried to pm you but could not I have a couple you may be interested in. But I don't want to get in trouble avs form has more info over there but people are also not as open they tend to brag about what the own.
