Description

My 2 channel system is now in my family room instead of my dedicated home theater.

That's not a media room--that's a full-blown Lair. If you could find a way to incorporate a sunken area with bing-bag chairs . . .

Looks like a great set-up to wend the hours. Best of luck on your quest!
