In the pro_lift2 image it appears as though the mounting plate is torqued a bit.
Assuming it's not just a distortion in the image, that can happen if the weight
of the projector is unevenly distributed.  The simple solution is to add a
coup-le of small weights to balance the load.  We did that when installing a
projector for a church one time because the plate wouldn't sit flush with the
ceiling tiles when retracted.

You might want to have a look at Proficient Audio speakers.  They're
surprisingly good for architectural speakers.  I used their C800 model in the
covered lanai on my previous house and they sounded great.
