Hi all,
I'm new to the forums, but have been reading them for a few days; very informative!
I originally posted this in HT Construction, but after reading some more I think this may be the proper forum for it (or at least will generate more ideas). So I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
I'm going to start finishing my basement later this month and have finally started thinking about my budget for equipment. I have an approxamate dollar amount in mind, but I'm not sure how it should be divided amongst the components.
My initial thinking is that I should spend the most on speakers, since speaker technology won't really change as much as projectors. Thoughts?
So assuming a $10,000 budget, what amount of money should I spend on speakers/projector/receiver/screen/etc? If it helps, I'm thinking about spending about $2,000 on the projector (Panny L300U most likely). I'd love to come in at under $10k (might be forced to anyway), but I'm looking for general ideas (or specific components, if people want to go the extra mile) on approxamately what percent of the budget people would spend on what components.
If it mattres, the room is only a 12'x12' area with a closet area for components.
Thanks all - back to reading!
