going to build a wall frame, which will have the all the wiring runs (cable tv, speaker wire, etc...)
would metal studs cause any problems or interferace that anyone would know of? or is it safer to use wood for framing?

Thanksfor any answers

I don't think you would have any interference problems using metal framing providing that you use properly rated cable....

I actually considered metal framing but went with wood just because I have all the tools (for wood) and in my mind, it's easier to work with. Price is so close I don't see any advantages/disadvantages either way.

your right all that metal cutting and such, wood is much easier.

metal resonates more then wood will. I have a house full of it and dont recomend it for theater applications.
