My fellow home theater enthusiast has been trying to talk me into doing something about the state of my bedroom theater at some point. Here's what I currently have set up.
Mitsubishi 46" CRT Rear-Pro
Yamaha RX-V1600 Receiver
Panasonic RP-61K DVD Player
DirecTV HR-20
5.1 Yamaha speaker system circa 1998
What began as a quest to replace my 480P/1080I behemoth TV with a Panasonic plasma has gotten... more complex. In an effort to make the room more elegant we've decided to wall mount the TV and move all the components into the bedrooms walk in closet.
Now, I could just mount the Yamaha speakers on the wall. Or I could go with some in ceiling mounted speakers. I like the idea of in ceiling speakers as it's less obtrusive and will be easy to wire as the bedrooms ceiling is the attic. While I know some about the IQ series (as I have a 7.1 IQ system) I know nothing about the Ci series.
What do you recommend in a 5/5.1 system? Keep in mind this is a bedroom not my main theater so massive sound quality isn't nessicary something on par with or slightly better than my Yamaha's would be fine.
