Though considerably more expensive, I am thinking of installing an electric drop down screen so as to have the best 2 channel performance when the screen is up. Unlike you, I will only have the one listening/home theater room in the house. Otherwise, I believe the screen may interfere with the optimum 2 channel performance.

Do you think that I will have any weight issues with the speakers and equipment?

My HT room is 20ft x 25ft so I was able to have two ceiling fans installed that don't interfere with the projector. We live in the desert and it gets pretty hot and dry.

We don't have basements in California so we don't worry about weight. I am sure you have friends that weigh 200lbs or more. I have a pretty heavy safe in our master bedroom on the second floor and we don't have any special reinforcement. When the house was being built, I had them install insulation fiberglass inside all the walls, ceilings, and floors. I don't believe it helps the audio much, but it helps noise from going from one room to another room and it also helps with the heating and cooling a little.
