Hi,
So my brother-in-law needs help building his home theater for their bonus room. Recently I installed my first HT with help from you guys and am pretty happy for the budget I had. His budget is more than mine so I need something more for them to deliver the best bang for the buck. He has allocated $5000 for the whole setup which will include an HD TV, receiver and at least 5.1 speaker system (upgrade to 7.* in future).
Room size: 19'x17'x10' (room is open to stairs and rest of upper floor)
Primary use: 80% Movies/Gaming , 20% music (iPod connection would be nice)
Appearance: Looks matter (for WAF)
Budget: $5000 (+10-15% if needed)
I am allocating $2500-3000 for a 65" TV(they want a 65"). Rest will go in to the AVR and speakers.
Please give your recommendations for the AVR and speakers to fit the budget. I think he can go 10-15% above the budget if it takes it to another level. Also if you have a big HD TV that you love, please tell about that too. Looking forward to your suggestions and appreciate the help.
Thank you!
