Passed my board recertification exam and wanted to get something as a reward for myself and family. Both my boys(11 and 8) have wanted FP since going to an Ultimate Electronics store and seeing Star Wars Ep II on a Marantz. Went to the dealer(Best Sound St. Louis) and demoed a HS 20 with a Stewart screen(silvery-gray finish). Really liked the picture plus I have about $400 credit on my Sony MC built up. I am also having them do the installation(I have two left feet when it comes to that kind of thing). Unfortunately I have Pegasus for my DirecTV provider and cannot go with the $399 upgrade from DirecTV(the rep I talked to told me he could not sell to me since I live in Pegasus territory). So I switched to E* and got their HiDef package. I wanted to do Voom but I need to have FoxNews channel.
A couple of questions:
1. Should I have them do an acoustically transparent wall? The equipment is housed in a tall rack at the front of the room where the projector will be placed. I was planning to disassemble the rack and reassemble it as two shorter racks a couple of feet apart and keep the center channel speaker in between the two racks. There are bookcases to the left side so it won't be possible to do an acoustically transparant wall that runs the length of the front wall(also there is a door that leads to another finished room on the right front wall).
2. When the E* installers come(Feb 21, I got the 2 dish installation) is there anything that I should know or do beforehand?
3. I will be using the projector for DVD 30-40%, HDTV 30-40% and reg TV 30-40%.
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
