Dark enough for a projector! My room is too light in the day to get away with it, have to someday build one in the basement. Which Studio speakers are you using? This last summer I got a set of 590s L/R, 520c, 530 surrounds, like them a lot.
During the day, a projector would be a stretch, but It could work. I have been scheming for a projector and a screen in the 120"-130" range. Loving my plasma for now, and despite the distance, it doesn't seem terribly small.
Those studios are the studio II from about 2002. Designed by Greg timbers, the original studios had copper colored drivers and both versions were offered in a beech color which I like more. I've seen you post about your 5 series and I've been meaning to ask what you thought. Until the last couple years I've not found a compelling enough reason to replace mine for a price I would consider reasonable. While there not perfect, I find they sound great on a lot of different material, and although the tweeters are titanium, they were made by an outfit in France(iirc) and are very revealing without being fatiguing like some can. They will break up if you lean on them really hard, but until that point they're very good. The S-38 I use as surrounds, and many guys have used them for mains. They're mirror paired horizontal monitors, but I have tried them vertical. They image like crazy and re enforce why I like monopoles for surround duty. They are huge though and stick out 18" from the wall. No. I don't care! My wife...well...
You'd said as much but curious how you like yours and if you'd elaborate a little on your 5 series studios. I've looked at them a lot, and think they'd be nice to live with. Zieglj01 has mentioned them too. I've been dreaming about some tritons. In my former life, I could actually have afforded some not these days. Windy...
Here's the back just for reference.(old pic) It's in a new color now after 12 years but I don't have any shots yet.
