    Help/Suggestions for In-Wall Speakers

    Hi guys. I need some help as I'm not sure what to buy and really what I need. We are building a new house and have pre-wired the living room to have 2 speakers on the back wall and 2 speakers outside in our covered porch. I've never bought in-wall speakers or outdoor speakers before and...

    Is this a no brainer?

    I can buy an Ekornes Stressless Reclining Granada Sofa with Paloma leather for $1500 locally. I think these sofas run over $4500 new. I've read nothing but great things about them. Here is a photo of the sofa. Jump on this, or any reason you would NOT want this for your home theater room?

    Starting to think about our seating. Does anyone here have an Ekornes Stressless recliner, sofa, or love seat? I could get a slightly used sofa for $2K. Is it worth the money? It seems people who own these absolutely love them.

    quick question about screen placement. I THINK I am going with a 130' screen from Jamestown, and I tried marking it out on the wall. Do you think having the bottom of the screen 27" from the floor and 11" from the ceiling (9 foot ceilings) sounds about right? Would anyone adjust it up or down?

    Is this even possible without having my projector in hand?

    Our house is being built right now. Thursday they want to run the speaker wire in my home theater room (15x27 with 9' ceilings) I know I'm going to purchase an Epson 8700 and will ceiling mount it 15' from the screen. But how can I tell them where I want the speaker wire to come out of the wall...

    Need quick help on speaker wire (what Gauge do I need)

    the builder and electrician came by and recommended 12 gauge. Since they are comfortable using it, I assume that's good? I can get 500 total feet for $123 shipped in 2 days from Amazon (made my Raptor) Sound good?

    I bought 2 nice used (but perfect flawless condition) berkline leather recliners (but not motorized unfortunately) but obviously will have room for a lot more seating. Any suggestions on good places to buy?

    Not 100% decided but from what I keep reading, it sounds like it would be a good choice. Are you thinking otherwise? Again, I'm a newbie and open to ideas. And I could be wrong, but with zero windows and no ambient light, shouldn't the 8700 be plenty bright or maybe not?

    Is Grey considered as good or better than black? Also, you mentioned your components underneath. I hadn't really thought about all of that. So i guess with the speakers I've already bought, I too will have to put the center console underneath the screen (maybe find a good cabinet for it?)...

    Thank you! I have never heard that. With the room being just over 27 in length, that should be no problem.

    Help with Home Theater Setup & Design

    Appreciate the feedback so far! Unfortunately I've already bought the speakers, but hopefully I'll come out on the love vs hate end. I know I've always preferred treble/highs over lows/bass, so hopefully I'll be okay with those speakers. So with my room measurements, does it look like I...
