Then the 20% we will spend on acoustics. Because that will give you feeling of entering the cinema room as you walk in Plus the acoustics will help you to reduce the noise and help in soundproofing the dedicated cinema room.

The last 20% you should spend in a recliner, good chair, seating arrangement of the home theater room. See no one enjoys the movie if you are not in a comfortable seating arrangement. Everything is good and if you use normal chairs then it’s not worth it at all.
