    Designing New Home Theater

    Designing New Home Theater

    Is all the gear going to be hidden, out in the open? Haven't really thought much about this but I'm thinking it will probably be built into the wall with a glass door. I don't want distracting lighting in the room so it will probably be at the back of the room. Are you wanting speaker wires...
