The recliner mechanism of this sofa is not as good as La-Z Boy's. But one thing I liked about it over La-Z boy's 3-seater is the center seat reclines as well. With La-Z Boy, only the left and right side reclines while the center one converts into a table where you can put food. But I thought it was more important to have seating space so I opted for this one.
The home theater's configuration is supposed to have 2 x rows of theater sofas. But since we're on a tight budget, we opted for one set first and placed it on the raised floor section. Maybe we'll just put bean bags for a while on the front row for the kids.
The home theater is 6-meters deep. The sofa is just slightly behind the overhead projector. So that puts it at about 4-meters from the projection screen. I think its just right. If we put another set on the lower floor level, I think it will actually be too close to the screen.

dude you got a nice house as ive seen in your picasa album, whos' your architect by the way?is he familiar with the design of multimedia rooms particularly lighting and acoustics?im planning to have my own house this summer once i get back in P.I. and the cinema room is surely a must have.
Hi. Our home theater is kind of a DIY. We gathered bits and pieces of ideas by visiting stores offering home theater setup services. Then our interior decorator took care of the measurements and just gave it to the contractor for actual implementation.
The acoustic design is also pretty DIY. I just did some research on the Internet and told the interior decorator to just have padding on the sides (for sound absorption) and heavy drapes at the back (for diffusion).
Most audio experts on the Internet seem to agree that modern-day audio equipment are already so good that you don't really need much acoustic treatment on your home theater to get the sound quality you need. If ever, you might just really want the acoustic panels if you really don't want sound to escape the walls/ceilings/floors in case you want to turn on the speakers full blast. I using Harman Kardon receivers and JBL speakers by the way:
