Glad to hear your bigger family is doing well and that you are making good progress on the room.

Why not try a quick test. Try connecting your laptop to the big system, put the laptop a few feet in front of you and watch a movie or a concert? That will give you an idea if you enjoy using the big system when watching videos from the big sofa (without the big screen covering half of the horns which I think it does).

Obviously, a dedicated audio system for movies has some advantages

- Easy set-up for your family

- Family and friends can't break anything expensive

- You can plan around that big screen (did it cover part of the horns? regardless it will impact sound a lot)

- Some proper set up and time alignment for big sofa (assuming you are using a dedicated and moveable near-field listening chair for audio)

- I guess you could put in the extra surround channels (not really an advantage)

- Low power consumption

- You could put the AV speakers on "elevators" and have them rise out of the floor when you put the screen down.
