Hi,
For several years now I've had a 7.1.4 speaker system in the living room/TV room. We're going to be build a new home soon and I'm looking to build a more dedicated home theater space. I'm waiting on pleminary blueprints to really start planning.
I recently come to realization that rather than using my exisiting LG 65" G1 (or buying a bigger TV), I might like a projector. (Although after researching it a bit, I am a little hesitant regarding the drop in picture quality, but I'm hoping the wow-factor outweighs that lol.)
Is there any other stuff I should be considering (i.e. a projector over a TV)? Any suggestions on seating? Lighting?
I read through the Building A Home Theater? Start Here thread. Wiring for 24.1.10 sounds excessive but I probably should run a few extra wires now lol. I was already planning on automated blinds, I see there are PoE options which sound great.
Based on reviews I'm considering going with this projector: Sony - VPLXW5000ES. But I'm hopeful a HDMI 2.1 option is released in the next year. I'm thinking about buying Polk floor standing speakers to replace my current bookshelf speakers in front.
Thanks:
Current equipment:
Fronts: (2x) Polk RTi6
Center: (1x) Polk CSi5
Surround: (2x) Polk OWM3
Surround Back: (2x) Polk OWM3
Subwoofer: Outlaw LFM-1
Receiver: AVR-X6700H 11.2 Ch
