I've settled on a new house with a 14 x 20 foot theater. No windows, and all walls insulated. One entry door. A perfectly symmetrical rectangle with no anomalies. Heavy carpet also.
Eventually this will accommodate a 100" screen. My current Mits DLP is 73". I calculate that I will run 180 feet of 14 gauge wire for seven channels, and two 35 foot coax cables with RCA ends for two rear subs.
Fortunately, before the insulation and dry wall go up, I will have a chance to run the wiring and boxes.
I've decided to go with wall sconces for normal lighting, and 4 eyeball cans for viewing. After trying several light types, I've decided to go with a blue that slightly extends into the UV.
Red is too difficult to see by, and green shows up more on the screen.
