I'm helping my uncle build a home theatre in his house. The only problem is, I know just about nothing about HT!
After doing an obscene amount of research, I have decided on a projector and speakers. I'm thinking Epson 8500UB for projector. For sound... Paradigm: Studio 20s for fronts, ADP-590s for surrounds, CC-490 for center and a Seismic 110 to complete the 5.1 setup.
Now, I know these things are very subjective, but I just don't want to get an amp that doesn't have enough power, or overspend when I don't need to. So, I'm asking for suggestions on what to power this setup with.
Also, I'm a little bit confused as to exactly what I need. I have the speakers down, so now I need an amp? Or a receiver? Both?
The setup will be used for movies (80%) and video games (20%). It's in a really odd shaped room (see attachment). I also plan on having a PS3, Wii and an HTPC hooked up to this system.
Any guidance you can give me is greatly appreciated!
Here are some pictures of the room to help visualize the space...
