I bought GiK panels works really well

Well, this is highly subjective but I am not comfortable in a relatively small room lacking any direct natural light. I am not knocking the acoustic efforts or results and believe that it is probably a great-sound space but I don't think I could be relaxed in it to spend extended time.
Yeah, windows are bad for both soundproofing and for movies, and this is a dedicated soundproof theater. The soundproofing lets me listen at full volume any time I want without disturbing the neighbors in their house that's 10 feet from mine. Most of the time the room has no lights on and movies are being watched. I really do wish the room could have been bigger, but it was the available space I had to work with in the basement of my smaller city home, and I wasn't going to move to the burbs just for a bigger theater. For me, it was this small little theater or none at all. I'm jealous of people that get to pick the size room they have to work with when they build their theater, but most of us just gotta worth with what we have. I hear ya though, the room would have been vastly improved in many ways in a world without space constraints.

Another point: I am not an HT guy. All my serious is music (audio only). Different needs.
