My wife and I are in the process of redoing our basement to turn it into a media room / central entertainment area in our home. The space (when it is completed) will have a wet bar and small game area (table to play poker / board games) and a home theater area that surrounds a wall mounted TV and 5.1 surround sound.
We are currently in construction, and hope to be painting the space this weekend, and are really hoping to have the space finished in time for Christmas.
I have been slowly accumulating the equipment that I will use for the theater area.
I have the subwoofer solution, and all of hte parts for that. I also have the 5 channels for the surround sound.
The subwoofer is going to be dual 18" 2 ohm drivers in an infinite baffle that is powered by a QSC RMX1450 Pro audio AMP and EQ'd by a Behringer DSP1124P.
The 5 channels that I have decided on, and purchased are Ascend Acoustics 170's and a 340 center.
My sources will be a cable box (Comcast) Xbox Elite and a blu ray player.
So here are my initial questions.
I would like to get a 58~60" TV for the space, that is about as large as I can go and still fit the speakers in the space.
I will need a reciever and a blu ray player as well.
My wife has imposed a $2000 budget for everything.
My initial thinking was this
Panasonic TC-P58S2
Pioneer VSX-1120-K
Sony BSD-570 blu ray player
However when I called my preferred vendor (Abt electronics) they were not willing to match the prices I found online and as a result not able to get me everything I needed for $2000.
I currently have a Onkyo TX-Sr606 and Samsung BD-2500 blu ray player in my living room. I could relocate the blu ray player and place a DVD player in the living room if need be and then purchase a suitable replacement device later when funds allowed.
Please advise, on my parts decisions and make any comments, suggestions, etc to get this done.
