Since I'm looking for something similar in a receiver, I'll piggyback this thread. I'm going to use a Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector for my display. I already have my cables ran (1 hdmi, 1 component, 1 composite, and conduit for future cables)....

I decided to go with putting in dricore for my theater room. I would have liked to put it througout the whole basement but didn't need the added cost at this time. It's not in yet, but we'll see how it goes. I'm hearing nothing but...

I hadn't thought about adding a floating floor previously and only just started thinking about one (walls and platforms are up, carpet yet to be laid). To get something in fast, I was wondering if Dricore would work as a somewhat...

Ok, that helps. As for recommendations, what do you think is best for a new HT - stick with 5.1 or go with a 7.1 setup?

I'm wondering if I could use my HT receiver to also drive other speakers spread out across the house for music or whatever. Is that even possible? (I don't have a particular receiver yet, but take something like the Pioneer VSX-74TXVi...

My current living room setup is 5.1 so I'm familar up to that point, but I haven't followed up on the current spec regarding 6.1 and even 7.1. I know a few movies have 6.1 available. And I've seen 7.1 mentioned on some receivers...
