I am getting a new house built and I need some help to chime on and give advice on prewiring and other ideas...
I have the following gear (some of which I want to keep, some of which I want up grade)
Front: LSI15
Center:LSIC
Sourrounds: FXI Sourrounds (I know they don't match the Front/Center )
Rear: FXI Rears (I know they don't match Front/Center )
Receiver: Onkyo 805
TV: 52 inch SONY LCD XBR2 ? (bought 2+ years ago)
Sub: Bic H10
AMP: need to buy
I have a 5K budget to "update" and upgrade my equipment.. but I dont mind keeping my existing gear
The house .. The floor plan is located here.

First floor:
I do not want to put my TV on top of fireplace (neck strain!) so I plan on putting it on the other side of the house. I am asking the builder to move the two windows to the side so there would be drywall in the middle to hang a TV and put my gear.
I want to have speakers in the kitchen and thinking about adding speakers in the dinning room / living room (but wife is against that
)
Second floor. I plan on adding speakers in the master bedroom / bathroom.
I am trying to figure out where to put the Sourrounds / Rear. Whether or not I should just hang on existing speakers (they will just stick out and look ugly
) or buy in ceiling ?
Any design recommendations also welcome
thanks in advance!
