Indeed, it was on this forum that I learned everything it took to build my home theatre a long, long time ago (well, 3 1/2 years ago). It's become the envy of my friends, but alas, my family needs a bit more room, so we're building a new home.
See the photos a bit down the list here - http://www.yourwaukeshahome.com/photogallery.htm
Anyway, when prospective buyers look at our home, I always have the Home Theatre fired up. I also have a little sheet that describes how to use the scene lighting so they can give that a whirl.
Anyhow, everybody that looks at the place wants to know if everything is included. I'm ok with the projector and the iScan line doubler going, but everything else I'm a bit hesitant about. The audio is built around an Onkyo 797 THX receiver and Paradigm speakers all around. The sub is 15" unit built by a local place many years ago - it's powered by an old Yamaha integrated amp.
Yes, the stuff is cobbled together, but I cobbled it together. I'm a bit attached. I also know I won't have a bunch of money to spend on gear when we get into the new house - window treatments, you know.
So, the question is: how do I build a Home Theatre System on-the-cheap that can go with the house? Let's say the projector and double stay. The sub can also stay, too. I can throw in my old DVD player, too. So, we need a AV receiver and speakers. What's nice is that I can hide everything behind my built-in wall grates.
So, what AV receiver/HTIAB/speakers should I install? Cheap!
