I'm in the process of designing a home theater in my new home. The theater should be completed by the end of January. I'd like to watch the superbowl there... probably not realistic, but hell it's a goal to shoot for. The room is 19x23, and I'm planning to have two rows of seats, with the rear row on a floating platform.
Video will be via a JVC-G150 d-ILA, with an FE Centerstage processor. Stewart Greyhawk screen, probably 10'. Still working on the audio side...
Pre/pro - pretty set on the MC-12. L-7 sounds good, just really looking for a solid unit that's going to provide good clean sound and will be upgradeable.
Amp - looking hard at the Theta Dreadnaught with the 3x200watt plus 4x100 watt channel outfitting.
Where is need help the most is with speakers... currently looking at Snells, Monitor Audios, Aerials, B&W's, and others. All great speakers, my total budget for the seven speakers plus the sub is probably $20K. Also need to make a decision on in-walls versus in-rooms. I'm not married to an in-wall concept.
Thinking about putting in Buttkicker2's.
HT will be used for the following applications, in order of importance:
1. DVD Movies
2. Sporting events
3. Other TV shows (some HD)
4. High quality listening room - CD's, SACD and DVD-A
Would greatly appreciate any input.
