First off, let me say thanks for the great forums here and the wealth of information available. I am hopefully getting ready to build my first home theater (my fiance and I are working on buying our first house), and I have a few questions. I think I have a pretty good idea about the equipment that I want, but I am curious if anyone is running a similar setup and what your results were. I am also looking for suggestions for speakers to go with the system since I really have no idea about ht speakers. Also, I am looking to see if I am missing anything that I should have, or any other important tid bits that I might be missing. Here is the equipment that I plan on:
Projector = Panasonic PT-AE3000U
Screen = Elite Cinetension2 (probably in the neighborhood of 106", but I won't know till we actually buy our house)
Reciever = Marantz SR 5003 or the 6003 (what are you're guys thoughts on if the 6003 is worth the price difference)
The room will hopefully not have to deal with much ambient light as it only has 1 window, and I plan on dropping the screen down in front of the window. Any suggestions as to what material to use for window treatments, I know I will need something heavy to keep the sun out and to keep it from heating up the screen too much. The room is around 12' by 20' ( not exact measurements), but the ceiling is 8' on the end with the window and only 7' after about 12' out from the long wall.
