I am building a complete home theatre. I am trying to figure out the audio portion. Here is the details so far:


1) Room is 27'x15' with 8.5' ceiling

2) Built in basement

3) Will be used mostly for HDTV, Movies, Super Bowl parties

4) Budgeted $5000.00 just for audio including amps, receiver,

speakers.

5) Dedicated room for HT


What would be a good audio system for $5000.00?


What receiver?

What AMP? Integrated with receiver?

Should it be both DTS and AC3?

What speakers?

What Sub Woofer?


Any help appreciated.

With a room that size, I'd recommend 2 subs.
