Is 11' distance from projector screen too close?
I did quite a bit of research and the Panasonic AE4000 was the best projector about 6 months ago ( in the 2000 to 5000 range) - not sure if it will throw as little as 11 ft but it kicks the butt of that Sony you are looking at - right out of the b... 
Why the obsession with the lowest octave
Most people here who are listening to deep bass are actually listening to mostly distortion - although manufacturers won't admit it - sad to say but distortion sells really well

Room Treatments
In photos I have seen Rives often modify the wall between and behind the speakers and make it curve inwards smoothly by a couple of feet at the maximum point centered between the speakers. This will have an impact on the bass and may help reduce q... 
Is all home related 3d equal?
I don't know anything on the 3D market but the best value projector for extreme high end picture quality is currently without doubt the Panasonic AE4000. The darn thing is as good as the older generation $10,000+ projectors at an unbeatable price ... 
Room Treatments
Only bass frequencies are omnidirectional and bass frequencies will not be affected by a blanket. You are much better off treating the wall behind your head with blankets, curtains and thick absorption - this way you reduce what is reflected back ...
