I am SO thrilled to have found this forum!!
I need literally "to be told" what to buy for our HT room.
We built in 2006 and had our 20'x20' media room wired with 7.1 and had an outlet put in on the ceiling for a future projector.
The room will be mostly for our 2 sons...now 7 and 10.
We want to have family movie nights, and friends over for sporting events, and also the boys will play their PS2 and wii in there. Would love to get Blu Ray also.
I have NO CLUE where to start!
I have had several quotes from HT installers...
my problem with that is they all give similar prices but I know I need to come up with specific equipment or I will get robbed....
I would like to buy the equipment seperately myself and then pay someone hourly to do the install.
So, out room is 20x20 over our garage...
seating will be a sectional sofa for now...media seating later....
seating will be at about 15-16' from screen.
I would like a large 110" screen unless yall think it is too big.
We don't want top of the line...but MY hope is to get a great picture....the sound is not as important to ME as the picture. We would like to get the most bang for our buck...as most people do.
We have a ceiling fan/light on dimmer in there and the projector will have to hang behind that so it will have to angle.
We eventually want to run music through our home...we are wired downstairs for speakers in the master bath, kitchen and also back porch...
and we are wired for speakers on either side of out 50" plasma in the family room, although the plasma is not mounted yet nor do we have the speakers.
ANY help is appreciated!!
