HT Configuration Question (1 Viewer)

[Bils]

I am trying to configure a HT and perhaps putting way too much thought & effort into it.

I have been impressed with the HT-Forum and would appreciate any thoughts and feedback of what (I think) I am going to assemble.

I have a 1/4 basement of ~600 Sq/Ft and plan to use ~15' x 15' (225 Sq/ft) for the HT. We will be sitting on a sectional couch 12' from the TV. The couch is in a "U" shape and will be against the back wall.

This set up will only be used for video as we have an audio system upstairs already.

Here is what I am considering:
HDTV:Mitsubishi Diamond WD-57832
Receiver: Marantz SR4001
DVD: Denon - 1930CI
Sub: SVS PB10 or M&K VX760 (Haven't decided)
Speakers: I already have (4) M&K S-85s and a C-85 (center).

The HT will be primarily for movies, both with and without the kids (10,8, & 3), and sports.

We will be attaching a DVD player, VHS player until the kids outgrow the tapes, and a Comcast HD Cable Box. No gaming if I can help it for a few years.

Please let me know what you think. If I am way off on something I would greatly appreciate knowing why.

Thanks for your help.

I would go with a bigger screen. Will this be your main TV? If not, I recommend a front projector.
