I am buying a new home, plan on having two "main" media areas.
Home is large (5K sq ft), first area will be in great room as you enter, mostly background music, TV, sports just noise essentially, on stemwall, tray ceilings (9' main 10' in trays), one story. This room (including kitchen, living, bar and dining) is 31X33. "TV" area is roughly 15X18, but very open. Planning on repurposing my 65" LED and one of receivers (maybe) for this area and doing all in walls for aesthetics. This receiver and area will also have additional 4-8 in wall/ceilings for ambient music.
Second room will be dedicated HT, it is approx 12WX20LX10H, on slab with second story above. Plan on doing true theater seating, 100" screen, projector.
Would like to use what I have where I can and get what else I need, most of my reading tells me in walls/ceiling for less "formal" viewing area and free standing for true HT. I "think" my Paradigms and receiver are pretty good but can take the heat if not!
Here is what I have:
Onkyo TX-NR717
Yamaha RX-V620 (extra receiver)
Paradigm
CC-170
PDR-12
Mini Monitor V2 (x2)
Sharp Aquos 65" LED, not sure of model
looking to use what I can but prepared to drop a moderate amount of coin on dedicated (the in walls are relatively cheap so not worried).
Also: the dimensions of the dedicated HT room are somewhat flexible. I have about 900 sq ft broken up into a few strange rooms I can play with somewhat.
thanks in advance for any help!
