Hi all,
We use our rec-room as our gaming/movie room. The dimensions are 14ftx18ft with a 7ft ceiling(split-level house). We are not audiophiles by any means. I play my Xbox 360 a lot, we watch movies and TV down there. Right now I have a Panny 53" 480p/1080i rear projection TV and is soon to be replaced with either a Panny plasma 50-58" 1080p or a LG LED 50-58" 1080p and a BR player. Right now I have a Harmon Karden receiver and a pair of old tower speakers that I'm running in stereo mode (I know, it's sad)!
Due to the short ceiling and relatively small room, since seating is about 8ft from the TV...we really don't have to have a balls-to-the-wall home theater. I think a good HTIB would be fine for this room, and maybe swap the typical 100w powered subwoofer for something like a 250-300watt powered unit. Which system/s do you all think would be a good match for this package? Running wiring to the rear speakers doesn't bother me at all, so I don't think I'd really want wireless rear speakers, in case anyone was wondering...some people don't want bothered with the rear speaker wiring.
I have AT&T U-VERSE with high definition. I would like to run the U-VERSE receiver, xbox 360 and maybe a PS3 with HDMI to the receiver and then HDMI from the receiver to the TV. We also would like to be able to use an IPOD with the home theater. What are your suggestions?
