You will be able to find a decent flat screen that is the perfect size at a good price. Things I would look out for though is how the screen looks. Some cheaper flat screens tend to have horrible color or very dark screens, even after they are adjusted. Also keep in mind possible glare from your...
This is something I have always wondered and would love some feed back. I personally don't see the point in spending the extra money to purchase a Blu-ray disc. With almost all TV's being HD now, I can't really tell the difference between standard dvd and a blu-ray disc. Even when I can, the...
It would be great if they could release the original, no CGI Star Wars. I hate the added CGI and refuse to buy those versions! If they do release them, I am spending a whole day watching Star Wars with my family in our movie room!
I have been playing with Media Browser 3 now for a few days and so far so good! I love it. Like everything beta though there are a few kinks but honestly, surprisingly nothing major. I deal with a lot of home theater clients and I am excited for this to be released after its beta period. I think...
I definitely think it's a good call to go with the plasma TV rather than a projector because of the height of your ceilings. Bobofbone has a great point about the exposed speaker wire on your floor. Definitely something to think about if you have not laid down carpet yet. Also, with that being...
Both are great A/V systems and I think you would be happy with the quality and performance no matter which on you end up choosing. I personally prefer the Steinway Lyngdorf though only because it's the one I am most familiar with. Hope this helps and good luck!
Definitely tape it down, I am guessing you are renting so you wont be there forever? Definitely don't give the speakers away though! Another option too is re arranging the room. I can't tell how long the room is from the picture, or if there is a wall behind where you were standing to take the...
Martin Logan's are a great brand, we have used them before in home theaters we have installed, however Paradigm's are great too! I would take Nicks suggestion and go and take a listen for yourself and decide which you prefer but either way I don't think you will be unsatisfied. Good luck!
I think you can achieve that look quite simply! I would center the TV and then place shelves above it like in the picture you provided. You may only have room for 3 or 4. Then, Instead of the box shelves on the side of the TV, you can up them underneath the TV. From their anything else you want...
