First off i started a thread like this, but i believe i put it in the incorrect spot. I will pm admins to close, so please excuse my noob-ness.
Okay, so i have been lurking around looking hear for years daydreaming. I am a System Administrator by day and Big Kid by night lol. Well, me and my family built a new home last year and have had my media room on top of my garage sitting for a while. If i don't start doing something in the room, the wife will claim it for something. lol I plan to tear everything apart in a couple of years when i can save up a nice amount to really do something nice. BTW, nice for me will be $20k max!! I am okay with with buy temporary equip for now and moving it down to the living room, so it will not be a waste. BUT I MUST START SOMETHING WITHIN THIS MONTH or she will claim and all will be lost.
So here is the breakdown of my media room above the garage: 224in. x 134.5in (18.6 ft long x 11.2 wide) with 7ft wall and 3ft knee wall above it on both sides. When you walk into the room it steps down into the media room. The room is pretty unique because behind the side walls are doors to a narrow storage space. Which means i can run wires easily and build my rack into the wall.
On a budget for pretty much everything, lol. I wish to have 7.2 for the HT. The room will be used 90% Movies, 10% Games. I will get two rows of theater chairs: 1 row of 3 in the back and 1 row of two in front. It is only 5 of us there. So here is what i am thinking thus far:
-JVC DLA-RS2 (already purchased used for $685 shipped)
-SVS Sound Prime Tower Surround system with extra set of surrounds 2x Prime Tower, 4x Prime Satellite, 1x Prime Center(I have a nice deal pending on this, open to suggestions)
-2 x VTF-15H MK2 or 2 x VTF-15H (up for suggestions)
-Marantz SR7009(up for suggestions)
-Xbox One
-PS4
-DIY Built XMBC box
-Monoprice 12 ga. speaker wires
-Sub wires (????)
-RedMere HDMI cables
-Screens i have looked at: StudioTek 130 100", Elite 110" (this is where i REALLY need help in, i want my speakers behind the screen if it makes sense.)
-Need help Deciding what screen size would be optimal for room size
-Need help with where the projector needs to be placed.
-Need range of cost for a DIY riser for second row of chairs
-I would like to build a stage as well (cost$$$$ ideas)
Now the room was pre-wired for 5.1, but ceiling mounted speakers only. it was also wired for a projector to be mounted as well. I have never done anything like this, but i am excited to get to purchasing stuff. Please help with any ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
BTW I have looked at MysticalJet theater so far and a few others.
