I had a house built two years ago and I had them create a blank room that I want to make into a theater room.
This has always been a dream of mine to create a room for movies. The room is 20' X 15' with vaulted ceiling which I am hoping will be big enough for a 180" to 200" screen.
I had them run a conduit from the corner by the dump out to the ceiling where I had them install bracing in between the rafters.
The image that I have attached was the diagram I gave to the electrician so they could run all my speaker wires (12 gauge).
I consider myself a big newbie as I have purchased sound systems before but I just bought what I was told to at high end audio stores. (e.g. I have a family room that has a 55' tv, Marantz MM8003 amp and AV8003 preamp Combo and paradigm speakers) I don't know the specs and I don't follow the new trends.
What I would like advice on is the following:
What type of screen should I buy?
What type of projector?
What type of amp/preamp should I get (I like the system I have now but its staying in the family room)
Should I stay with the paradigm speakers?
I would like to do this for around $25000 Canadian.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
