I have the Optoma H31 (non HD). Got it for $600 when HD's were still $2k at the time. VERY nice projector. I have a DIY acoustically transparent screen, so the center channel can be mounted behind it.

Here's a few old pics:

A couple of MJ18's in sonotubes would do nice, I think they use 10 cubes each.

I've tried them in demo rooms and they're pretty cool, but if you have enough subwoofer you won't need them. I can shake my entire house to death and get major wall flex //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
